The Future of Telecommunications

Article Abstract:

The telecommunications industry in the 21st century will be defined by the legacy of the Telecommunications Act of 1996, combinations of technology, and aggressive competitive strategies. The 1996 Act was meant to open competition and serve competitors but many powerful regional telecommunications have managed to avoid losing significant market share. Distributing Internet access over cable may radically change the market. Mergers and acquisitions among companies may enhance market share.
