Foundations of canadian communication policy: united kingdom (sykes committee report 1923) State should own and operate broadcasting system. Give public what we" think it needs, not what they want. Public control = direct control by the state: usa (u. s. radio act 1927) Broadcasting infrastructure should be privately owned, but state should regulate broadcasting system. What interests the public is the public interest. Public control = oversight of broadcasting system by the state.
