	United States
		The United States of America (U.S.A.) (also referred to as the United States, the U.S. America, or (outside its borders) the States), is a federal republic in North America with a strong democratic tradition.
		The federal and state government is dominated by two political parties, the Republicans (center-right) and the Democrats (center-left), although minor party candidates and independents are occasionally elected especially to local or state office.
		The social structure of the United States, a capitalist country, is highly stratified[?] with a large proportion of the wealth of the country controlled by a small fraction of the population which exerts disproportionate cultural and political influence.

	No. 99-1176: MCI Communications Corp. v. United States - Opposition
		The court stated that the legislative history on which petitioners attempt to rely is "irrelevant" and "unpersuasive" and that reliance on such legislative history is misplaced "given the clarity of the [statutory] text." Pet.
		United States, 495 U.S. 472 (1990)).4 The court of appeals found it unnecessary to decide the exact degree of deference due to revenue rulings because "utilizing even a minimal level of deference-or imposing only a minimal burden of clarity under the first interpretative guide * * * is sufficient to decide the case." Pet.

	Communications - Wex (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Communications law is concerned with the regulation of radio and TV broadcasting to insure satisfactory service and to prevent chaos.
		Under the Communications Act of 1934 (http://www.fcc.gov/Reports/1934new.pdf), the FCC was given power to regulate and control "radio communications." Such communications were held to include the transmission by radio of writing, signs, signals, pictures,and sounds of all kinds.
		States cannot regulate the content of the programs broadcast (even if the television station is situated within the state) and cannot require that motion pictures broadcast over the station be submitted to a state board of censors for their approval.

	United States v. Verdugo-Urquidez continued
		The United States is prosecuting a foreign national in a court established under Article III, and all of the trial proceedings are governed by the Constitution.
		Department of the Army regulations state that the Army must seek a "judicial warrant" from a United States court whenever the Army seeks to intercept the wire or oral communications of a person not subject to the Uniform Code of Military Justice outside of the United States and its territories.
		By its own regulations, the United States Government has conceded that although an American warrant might be a "dead letter" in a foreign country, a warrant procedure in an American court plays a vital and indispensable role in circumscribing the discretion of agents of the Federal Government.

		It asked a judge to stop Bush and government agencies from conducting surveillance without a warrant of communications in the United States.
		The group said the surveillance program has inhibited its ability to represent clients vigorously, making it hard to communicate via telephone and e-mail with overseas clients, witnesses and others for fear the conversations would be overheard.
		The Detroit lawsuit said the plaintiffs, who frequently communicate by telephone and e-mail with people in the Middle East and Asia, have a "well-founded belief" that their communications are being intercepted by the Government.

	Applying the Wiretap Act to Online Communications after United States v. Councilman >> Shidler Journal of Law, Commerce ...
		The stated purpose of the ECPA is to “protect against the unauthorized interception of electronic communications [and] update and clarify Federal privacy protections and standards in light of dramatic changes in new computer and telecommunications technologies.”9 The ECPA broadens the scope of the earlier statute by including, most notably, coverage of electronic communications.
		For example, “electronic communication” is defined as “any transfer of signs, signals, writing, images, sounds, data, or intelligence of any nature transmitted in whole or in part by a wire, radio, electromagnetic, photoelectronic or photooptical system that affects interstate or foreign commerce.” Therefore, computer communications are electronic communications under the Act.
		First, no violation takes place when a communication service provider, whose facilities are used in the transmission of the communication, intercepts a communication in the normal course of business or when the interception is necessary to protect the property or rights of the provider.

		For the reasons stated below, it is concluded that GSA's decision to award a single contract under the New York RFP is arbitrary, capricious, and not in accordance with the legal preference for multiple awards.
		The RQS states that each MAA contract will provide for a one-year "forbearance period." This means, for example, that during the first year of the New York contract, other MAA and FTS 2001 contractors may not provide services to federal agencies in New York in competition with the New York MAA contractor.
		The CO states that three of the six criteria in FAR 16.504(c)(1) for determining when multiple awards should not be made justified his decision to award a single contract.

	The United States Telecommunications Act of 1996
		In general terms, the Act mandates that communications be made available to all people of the United States without discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, or sex.
		Because universal service is an objective of the various state governments as well as the federal government, the Act directed the FCC to institute a Federal-State Joint Board to develop recommendations on defining and funding universal service, and enumerates several principles (such as nature of access, service quality, and affordable rates) to guide the deliberations.
		Nevertheless, provisions of the Communications Decency Act were successfully challenged in the courts as a violation of the right to freedom of speech under the First Amendment to the United States Constitution.

		Therefore, the specific privacy interest must be substantial, demonstrating that the state has considered the proper balancing of the benefits and harms of privacy.
		Even assuming, arguendo, that the state interests in privacy and competition are substantial and that the regulations directly and materially advance those interests, we do not find, on this record, the FCC rules regarding customer approval properly tailored.
		As stated above, because the two interests originated with Congress and thus predated the administrative process that led to the issuance of the CPNI Order, it is unclear precisely what the majority believes the FCC should have done to bolster the administrative record.

	United States v. Councilman
		In a 2-1 ruling, the court held that electronic communications are not "intercepted" if the communication is accessed while it is in temporary storage.
		The "tiering" of communications resulted more from the effort to address specific concerns -- such as extending protections to electronic communications and creating safeguards for stored communications -- than to formally categorize the privacy protection for each type of information.
		Councilman pleaded not guilty and moved to dismiss the charge because, as Councilman and the government agree, the communications were stored on the Interloc ISP server when they were acquired by Interloc employees.
