Telecompetition: The Free Market Road to the Information Highway

A telecommunications expert says a free market promotes the information superhighway.
Developments in telecommunications are moving at breakneck speed, yet the American people are being deprived of the full benefits of the information revolution because government continues to regulate electronic communications. Telecompetition: The Information Age Imperative is a lively and optimistic book showing that bureaucrats have neither the information nor the incentive to intelligently guide the information revolution, and therefor the only alternative is the free market. Telecompetition is not a luxury; it is an absolute necessity in the modern world. Telecompetition is nothing les than a manifesto on behalf of telecommunications progress.
Although this book analyzes the political and economic fallout from the information technology revolution, it does not pretend to be a book about technology. Still, some knowledge of the rapidly advancing capabilities of information technology is required to grasp the political and economic implications of recent developments. It is necessary to begin, therefore, with an overview of the fundamental advances in communications over the past several decades.
