Title: In the public interest
First published: 1996
Description: In the Public Interest is a thoughtful, incisive analysis of the telecommunications industry by Robert Emmet Lee, one of the most vigorous proponents of UHF, competitive cable networks, the Internet, and satellite television. President Eisenhower appointed Lee to the Federal Communications Commission in 1953, and when he retired as FCC Chairman in 1981 Lee had served as a commissioner longer than anyone else in the history of the agency.

In the Public Interest is an insider's tale of Washington, told by one of the master storytellers and policymakers of recent history. Lee's wisdom, humor, and empathy made him one of the most sought after and respected commentators on telecommunications policy. At a moment when American law makers are re-evaluating the direction of Federal telecommunications policy, this is a timely and provocative book.
