Strategies linking the dynamic and changing world of
telecommunication to local desires for economic growth are at the
heart of this important book. In the age of information, grass
roots political leaders have discovered telecommunications as they
seek to boost local employment and community well-being. Taking the
cases of Richardson, Texas, a Dallas suburb that has attracted over
50,000 high-tech jobs, city-state Singapore, which has successfully
upgraded its telecommunications infrastructure to lure
information-intensive companies, Atlanta, using the 1996 Olympics
to advance its information-technology base, and others, the authors
critically examine the successes and failures of each. Their
conclusions will be invaluable to planners, politicians, and
scholars who want to know whether and how advanced
telecommunications infrastructure leads to accelerated economic
development.
