- ARLB030 New NPRM
-
- FCC has proposed establishing a compliance policy for amateur
- stations participating in automatic message forwarding systems to
- hold the licensee of the station originating a message and the
- licensee of the first forwarding station primarily accountable for
- the content of the communications.
-
- Because message screening is difficult with these high speed,
- digital technology, automated systems and screening at each station
- in these systems diminishes the advantage of high speed data
- transfer, FCC proposed licensees of stations that only retransmit
- messages within a high speed message forwarding system would not be
- held accountable for communications they forward or their stations
- retransmit unwittingly.
-
- This is a breaking story, so text of the actual Notice of Proposed
- Rule Making, NPRM FCC 93-153, is not yet available. As of press
- time the comments deadline is not yet known. Stay tuned to W1AW for
- updates.
