Produktbeschreibung

The subject of this book whether or not to extend traditional telecommunications regulation to high-speed, or broadband, access to the Internet is perhaps the most important issue facing the Federal Communications Commission. The issue is contentious, with academics and influential economic interests on both sides. This volume offers updated papers originally presented at a June 2003 conference held by the Progress and Freedom Foundation. The authors are top researchers in telecommunications.
