Produktbeschreibung
The telecommunications industry is being transformed by contradictory forces: on the one hand, the trend toward global expansion by carriers, and on the other hand, fragmentation and entry in local communications. These transformations represent two sides of the same issue: a blurring of market boundaries created through technical innovation, policy liberalization, user initiatives and entrepreneurialism.

This volume discusses the complexities of these bi-polar forces and maps out the policy issues which need to be addressed today and in the future.
