FCC DESIGNATES RCA POINT-TO-POINT RENEWALS FOR HEARING
After examining the applications of Rc C.A. Communications, Inc. , for renewal of licenses to operate point to point telegraph stations located at Rocky Point, N, Y. ; New York, N.Y. ; New Brunswick, N. J. , Tuckerton, N.J. , Marion, Mass., Bollnas, Calif, and San Juan, Puerto Rico, and point to point telephone and telegraph stations located at Kahuku, T. H. , the Federal Communications Commission announced today (Friday, November 20) that it was unable to determine whether the granting of such applications would serve the public inter¬ est, and has designated the matter for hearing.
Reasons for designation for hearing rest primarily on the desire of the Commission to determine if R.C.A. Communications, Inc., has entered into any contracts or agreements which have the effect of preventing the establishment by other American carriers of inter¬ national parallel communications circuits, and whether these contracts or agreements would result in undue preference to R. C.A.C. or undue prejudice to other American carriers.
The hearings are also expected to reveal whether any of the outstanding contracts or agreements entered into by R, C.A. C, have the effect of hampering or delaying the Institution of addi¬ tional channels of communication desirable for the successful conduct of the war.
The official notice of the FCC designated the matters for hearing for the following reasons?
”1. To determine if applicant has entered into, maintain¬ ed, or operated under any contracts, agreements, understandings, or arrangements, written or oral, express or implied, which have the effect of preventing the establishment by other American carriers of communication circuits, contrary to the public Interest, convenience, or necessity.
”2. To determine if applicant has entered into, maintained, or operated under any contracts, agreements, understandings, or arrangements, written or oral, express or implied, which have the effect of preventing the practical operation by other American car¬ riers of additional communication circuits, contrary to the public Interest, convenience, or necessity,
”3. To determine if the applicant has entered into, main¬ tained, or operated under any contracts, agreements, understandings, or arrangements, written or oral, express or implied, which result in an undue preference to applicant or an undue prejudice to other American carriers in the rendition of any communication service, con¬ trary to the public Interest, convenience or necessity,
”4. To determine if the applicant has entered into, main¬ tained, or operated under any contracts, agreements, understandings, or arrangements, written or oral, express or Implied, which tend to create a monopoly of communication service, contrary to the public Interest, convenience or necessity.
