| Intro Powell internet Return to index of stories... |
Michael Powell, the Chairman of the Federal Communications Commission was in New Hampshire today. The F-C-C oversees the tele-communications, broadcasting and internet industries. Powell addressed a meeting of the New Hampshire High Tech Council on a number of isssues including the "do not call" list, media ownership, and the need to increase access to broadband technology. He was joined by Senator John Sununu, who spoke about an emerging technology that carries voice over the internet. Sununu wants to exempt these internet phonecalls - from state and local taxation and regulation. |

We'll be looking more closely at the emergence of "voice over the internet" technology in an upcoming Outlook. We asked Powell about F-C-C efforts to clean up the airwaves. The agency has been mired in controversy in recent weeks --after levying a half-million dollar fine on Clear Channel Communications for a broadcast of the Howard Stern show with explicit descriptions of sex and bodily functions. Clear Channel promptly dropped the Stern Show -- citing concerns about losing radio licenses. Clear Channel owns several radio stations here in New Hampshire. Outlook producer Richard Ager spoke with Michael Powell about the indecency fines. He began by quoting remarks Powell made to the National Association of Broadcasters last month. |
| Intro Mercury Return to index of stories... |
Scientists are learning more about the harmful effects of Mercury on children's brain development. Local environmentalists say southeastern New Hampshire has some of the highest mercury pollution levels in the country. They held a public hearing to protest a new EPA plan, they say, is too easy on polluters. Meanwhile state officials are mulling their own plan to address the issue. Julie Donnelly reports. |
| Intro bears Return to index of stories... |
Another potential threat in the wings --encounters with bears! New Hampshire Fish and Game officials warn that black bears may be hungrier than usual this spring due to a low production of nuts and fruits. With bear-sightings in Keene and other parts of the state -- people are being urged to keep human food away from them. Chip Neal visited with wildlife biologist, Eric Orff to find out more about living with bears in our backyards. |
| Intro Baskets Return to index of stories... |
Finally, this week is your last chance to catch an exhibit at the "New Hampshire Institute of Art" which is redefining an age-old craft as contemporary art. Videographer Steve Giordani spent an afternoon with the exhibits curator to learn more about the art of making baskets. |
