This book is based on the Telecommunications Policy Research
Conference which reports on research into telecommunications policy
issues. While the conference is now a respectable 23 years old,
this is only the second printed edition of selected papers. A new
law, the Telecommunications Act of 1996, accelerated the process of
integration in the communication industry and made major revisions
to the Communications Act of 1934 that increase the incentive for
integration within the industry. Although the papers in this volume
were written prior to the passage of the new law, their importance
is merely enhanced by it. They deal with fundamental, complex
policy problems that arise when previously separate segments of the
telecommunications industry are integrated, rather than specific
regulatory rules that are likely to be changed under the new law.
With the passage of this law, the timeframe for developing
appropriate policies for an integrated industry has been shortened.
Changes expected to occur over a period of several years will now
likely occur much more rapidly. These papers provide insights to
help guide the transition in the industry.
Divided into five parts, this volume:
* deals with problems of transforming local exchange telephone
service from a monopoly in each geographical area to an
interconnected competitive network of networks,
* considers the pricing problems that arise in an integrated
network carrying traffic of different types across multiple service
providers,
* examines the problem of achieving interoperability in complex
networks,
* considers issues of intellectual property that arise in expected
integrated networks of the future, and
* discusses electronic publication of scholarly journals,
copyright protection, and the applicability of copyright law in the
digital age.
The Telecommunications Act of 1996 and the Federal Communications
Commission's Local Competition Order are just two examples of the
continuing monumental and far-reaching changes occurring throughout
the telecommunications industry. At the 1996 Telecommunications
Policy Research Conference (TPRC) -- an annual forum for dialogue
among scholars and the policymaking community on a wide range of
telecommunications issues -- leading industry and academic
researchers presented results of their research and insights in key
areas of activity, including:
*interconnection and competition;
*Internet growth and commerce;
*Internet regulation and control; and
*the political economy of telecommunications regulation.
The best of the 1996 TPRC papers are included here, representing
the forefront of research in the telecommunications industry. The
third in an annual LEA series of volumes based on this important
conference, this collection reflects the rapid economic,
technological, and social development of telecommunications. It
also reflects the current state of research thinking on this issue
and provides a foundation for further telecommunications policy
analysis.
