William O. Douglas,
Federal Communications Commission v…
“ I agree with the Court that it is necessary under the Federal Communications Act to establish that the licensing of a competitive service offers a reasonable expectation of some beneficial effect, measured by the public interest. That was indeed the view of the Court of Appeals. But on this record the facts are that-existing facilities are in excess of those required to handle present and expected traffic;-the proposed operations will redistribute present traffic rather than generate new traffic ”
