In this timely book, Harold Furchtgott-Roth explores the evolution of communications law in response to new technologies. By scrutinizing underlying statutory language, he provides a comprehensive assessment of how statutes are written and how to interpret key issues in their application.

This insightful book underscores the vital role played by historical contexts, statutory language, court opinions and technology in understanding and interpreting communications law. Chapters analyse topics including the internet, wireless and space technology, privacy, liability, the First Amendment, antitrust and copyright through the lens of timeless statutory concepts such as public interest and common carriage. Drawing on insights from related fields the book ultimately underscores the need for modernisation and adaptation in the practice of communications law in the United States.

A New Look at US Communications Law is a valuable resource for scholars and students of communications, information and media, internet and technology and telecommunications law. It is also beneficial for practitioners of communications law and regulation and governance.
