| Title: | U.S. Telecommunications Today |
| Authors: | Economides, Nicholas |
| Issue Date: | Mar-1998 |

| Abstract: | This paper reviews the current conditions in the U.S. telecommunications
industry. It first examines the impact of technological and regulatory
change on market structure and business strategy, and then the impact on
pricing of digitization and the emergence of internet telephony. Then
the paper considers the effects of the 1996 Telecommunications Act on
market structure and strategy in conjunction with the history of
regulation and antitrust intervention in the telecommunications sector.
After discussing the impact of wireless technologies, the paper
concludes with some short-term predictions, as well as concern about the
derailment of the implementation of the 1996 Act by aggressive legal
tactics of entrenched monopolists (the local exchange carriers), and the
real danger that the intent of Congress in passing the 1996 Act to
promote competition in telecommunications will not be realized. |
