MACKAY RADIO CONTESTS PRESS WIRELESS NON-PRESS SERVICE BID
Intervening in the application of Press Wireless for modification of licenses to handle deferred commercial messages. All America Cables & Radio, Mackay Radio and associated companies state that such a grant for non-press users would be inconsistent with the purposes for which frequencies were allocated to meet the news requirements of the American press and would not be in the public interest.
According to a brief filed with the FCC by James A. Kennedy, attorney for the intervenors, there are ample cable and radio facilities and transmission capacity available in the com¬ munications systems of other carriers to serve each of the 15 countries to which Press Wireless proposes to offer a limited commercial service for non-press users and that such service as Press Wireless might provide would be limited in scope and "even assuming foreign agreement to the handling of such service could be obtained, it does not appear that such revenues as Press Wire¬ less might thereby obtain would be sufficient to alleviate in any important respect its present financial difficulies. This is especially so since Applicant is not now offering, as it had originally proposed, to handle commercial deferred and nightletter traffic at less than the standard rates applied by other carriers. Moreover, Press Wireless, having public telegraph offices in only three cities, New York, Washington, D. C. and San Francisco, would not share in the unrouted traffic originated at interior points in the United States by Western Union."
"Moreover, a departure from the principle of allocating 'radio frequencies exclusively for the transmission of news' would be inconsistent with the purposes for which the Press Wireless was created and contrary to the views expressed on behalf of the American Newspaper Publishers Association as recently as two years ago .
