Product Description
This title offers a clear, objective, and accessible analysis of competition policy issues in the telecommunications industry that analyzes the big picture of the field as well is its technological, economic, and legal intricacies. 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. 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.
