CBS still fighting after breast flash

AS OFTEN HAPPENS in indecency cases, the legal issues in CBS Corp. v. FCC are a good deal more stimulating than the incident itself. Three-and-a-half years after an ill-advised Super Bowl halftime stunt in 2004 gave America a nine-sixteenths second view of Janet Jackson's right breast, the regulatory and legal fight over the Federal Communications Commission's record indecency fine has arrived at the U.

3rd Circuit to Hear CBS' Appeal Over Indecency Fine for Janet Jackson's Super Bowl Stunt

Three-and-a-half years after a Super Bowl halftime stunt gave America a split-second view of Janet Jackson's right breast, the regulatory and legal fight over the FCC's record indecency fine has arrived at the 3rd Circuit, and a lot more is at stake than the $550,000 that CBS had to pony up before appealing the commission's sanction.

While the victory wasn't unexpected, the timing was. In February, the Supreme Court granted certiorari in Fox Television Stations v. FCC , another case raising questions over whether and under what circumstances the FCC can penalize broadcasters for airing unscripted indecent speech. With the case slated for oral argument in November, both the FCC?s backers and broadcast attorneys expected the 3rd Circuit judges to hold their tongues.

11th Circuit to Weigh FCC's Ruling on State Control of Cell Phone Bills

This week an 11th Circuit panel will decide whether the Federal Communications Commission went too far when it told states they could not regulate the appearance of cell phone bills. The FCC, whose position is supported by the wireless industry, says that because federal law forbids states from regulating cell phone rates, states cannot regulate how the rates appear on a bill. Commissioner Jonathan S. Adelstein wrote that the "very likely" result of the order would be "less oversight and more confusion."
