During this era of construction of the information superhighway,
this volume presents a prudent analysis of the pros and cons of
continuing state regulation of telecommunications. While interested
parties either attack or defend state regulation, careful scholarly
analysis is required to strike the appropriate balance of
regulatory federalism. Focusing on regulation in the 1990s, it uses
a positive political economy perspective to analyze enduring
state-federal conflicts and to weigh the justifications and
explanations for continuing state telecommunications regulation, or
for changing its structure. It also considers normative concerns
and makes recommendations about how to improve telecommunications
policy. Seriously concerned with assessing the problems surrounding
cost burdens for different categories of consumers, market entry
for different firms, economic growth and the information
infrastructure, global competitiveness, and control over
information, this volume attempts to provide answers to the
following specific questions: * How are states regulating
telecommunications in the brave new world of global markets, fiber
optics, and digital technology? * Do states vary significantly in
their regulatory models? * How are the politics of state and
federal regulation different? * Would a different federal-state
relationship better serve national telecommunications goals in the
future? To tackle these critical questions, the scholarly
perspectives of economists, lawyers, political scientists, and
telecommunications consultants and practitioners are employed.
