Overview

Telecommunications policy profoundly affects the economy and our everyday lives. Yet accounts of important telecommunications issues tend to be either superficial (and inaccurate) or mired in jargon and technical esoterica. In Digital Crossroads, Jonathan Nuechterlein and Philip Weiser offer a clear, balanced, and accessible analysis of competition policy issues in the telecommunications industry. After giving a big picture overview of the field, they present sharply reasoned analyses of the major technological, economic, and legal developments confronting communications policymakers in the twenty-first century. In the Telecommunications Act of 1996, Congress fundamentally reoriented the existing regulatory scheme to promote competition in all segments of the industry. Since then, no book has cogently explained the intricacies of telecommuications competition policy in the Internet age for general readers, students, and practitioners. competition in wireline and wireless telephone service; competition among rival platforms for broadband Internet service; and the Internet's transformation of every aspect of the telecommunications industry, through the emergence of voice over Internet protocol (VoIP). The authors explain not just the complicated legal issues governing the industry, but also the rapidly changing technological and economic context in which these issues arise.
