Publisher's Synopsis

While many telecommunication books focus on national issues and the FCC, few address the state's role in regulating the telecommunication industry. Telecommunication policy has often been an insider's game -- conducted by regulators and the industry. As such, competition undermines the traditional regime of regulated monopolies while new technologies reshape the industry and provide more choices for consumers. This book provides essential information about state telecommunications issues to Governors' policy advisors. It also serves a valuable public function beyond its intended audience as a popular introduction to telecommunications policy in these turbulent times.
