000000 FANS NOW HEAR RADIO Department of Commerce Expert Figures Market Is Only Scratched. BY MARTIN CODEL. Radio broadcasting has had seven years of public development, and in that time has spread its services to something like 100,000,000 people throughout the world. An index to the phenomenal universal spread of radio services is furnished in the 1928-29 an- nual report on radio markets of the world just completed by Lawrence D. Batson, Department of Commerce ex- Tt Broadcasting services, Mr. Batson finds, are now available in practically every civilized country. One billion, seven hundred and forty-eight mil- lion people live within constant recep- tion distance of broadcasting stations. About 20,000,000 receiving sets are in use in the world, nearly half of them being found in the United States. Using an average of five members to each family, Mr. Batson arrives at the estimate of 100,000,000 as the world's radio audience. He asserts that it would take 200,000,000 sets to provide radio for all the persons now living within the zones of constant reception. With broadcasting facilities available everywhere, nearly 350,000,000 sets ‘would be required. All these figures are intended to hearten the American exporter of radio products, for whom the Batson com- pflatlon is filled with invaluable eco- nomic data. The American receiving set owner would find the report inter- esting chiefly sents. Censorship General. For example, in all other countries casting is & monopoly, either in the hands of the government or private concessionaires; the United States and Canada pursue a laissez faire policy, Testricting the number of stations only after the air lanes have become over- crowded. Censorship of varying degrees is ex- ercised in most countries; in the United Stafes there is no censorship. Licenses for receiving sets are required in nearly all countries, many supporting their broadeast structure in that way rather than through audible advertising reve- nues. A movement to impose licenses on American receivers was immediately squelched several years ago by popular outery.: Licenses vary from 5 cents per year in France to $9 in Japan. The British tax is $2.45; the German, $5.70, and the Australian, $5.85. Mr. Batson accepts the estimate of $9,640,348 in the Daniel Starch report, prepared for the National Broadcasting Co., as the most reliable and authentic of all estimates concerning the number of sets in use in the United States.
