History

Historical Context

The Telecommunications Act of 1996, signed into law by President Bill Clinton on February 8, aimed to foster competition in the media and telecommunications sectors. However, it led to significant consolidation, allowing major companies like Disney to acquire ABC for $19 billion. This trend continues today, as seen in Netflix's acquisition of Warner Bros., raising concerns about the impact on diverse content and job security in the industry.
