Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 1971 competition has begun to replace regulation as a governing force in the telecommunications industry. The breakup of the national telephone monopolies, technological advances, and the worldwide network in telecommunications have brought a revolution in the telecommunications equipment and services industries. These changes have forced legislators and regulators to rethink public policy toward communications. The papers in this book were first presented at a conference organized by Robert Crandall and Kenneth Flamm, pulling together a group of industry professionals and scholars to address the far-reaching implications of the upheaval in the communications industry. The contributors analyze the effects of this increasing competition on standardization, technical innovation, and international rivalry. Changing the Rules offers possible policy options and analyzes their potential effects on the future market structure and the competitive positions of the U.S. computer and communications industries.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ten years ago, the United States stood at the forefront of the Internet revolution. With some of the fastest speeds and lowest prices in the world for high-speed Internet access, the nation was poised to be the global leader in the new knowledge-based economy. Today that global competitive advantage has all but vanished because of a series of government decisions and resulting monopolies that have allowed dozens of countries, including Japan and South Korea, to pass us in both speed and price of broadband. This steady slide backward not only deprives consumers of vital services needed in a competitive employment and business market—it also threatens the economic future of the nation. This important book by leading telecommunications policy expert Susan Crawford explores why Americans are now paying much more but getting much less when it comes to high-speed Internet access. Using the 2011 merger between Comcast and NBC Universal as a lens, Crawford examines how we have created the biggest monopoly since the breakup of Standard Oil a century ago. In the clearest terms, this book explores how telecommunications monopolies have affected the daily lives of consumers and America's global economic standing.

Download or read book Foundations of Business Telecommunications Management written by Kenneth C. Grover and published by Springer. This book was released on 1986-06-30 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: lnfonnation technology is about more than computers. Thus, it was a recurring-and rather infuriating-aspect of the early discussions on infonnation technology that those who participated tended either to ignore or to severely understate the role in infonnation technology of telecommunications. This very fine book by Ken Grover goes a long way toward correcting that misconception. However important the computer and computer-based equipment might be, the role of telecommunications equip ment has also been and continues to be significant. Moreover, as the author brings out, it is going to be even more important. As this enthralling story unfolds the reader will find him or herself continually remarking that there cannot be more-but again and again, there is. Those who are already of the world of telecommunications will, on reading this work, be proud of their colleague. Those who are already of the world of computers will learn a great deal and, it is to be hoped, will in future be fairer toward telecommunications than they have been in the past. Those who are new to the world of information technology will sally forth better balanced than most.

Book excerpt: Scientific Essay from the year 2015 in the subject Business economics - General, grade: 1,7, University of Applied Sciences Essen, course: VWL, language: English, abstract: This paper deals with the regulation of natural monopolies by the government. In general, regulation pursues the goal to guarantee equal opportunities within a market and to sustainably encourage competitive markets to the advantage of the consumer by affecting the conduct of the monopolist. A natural monopoly arises when a single firm is able to supply a good or service to an entire market at a lower cost than two or more firms. This failure of competition is the result of a specific market, in which variety of suppliers causes a decline of market output. For example this could happen when there are extremely high fixed costs, such as large-scale infrastructure needed to ensure supply (like cables and conductions regarding the telecommunications sector) and it is more efficient to only allow one firm to supply to the market. Allowing other firms entering the market would mean they had to duplicate all the fixed costs, which in turn states that competition would lead to inefficient duplication of resources. Usually, government intervention is necessary within natural monopolies, because in that case the existence of a monopoly is beneficial and efficient or even unavoidable, but negative effects, which could be a result of the position, need to be avoided. In a first step, this paper will refer to these negative effects, which can arise from a naturally monopolistic situation and lead to economic issues. Hence, you can conclude why natural monopolies need to get regulated. Subsequently, this paper will outline methods how to regulate a market, but due to the fact that there are many different opportunities, this paper will only refer to a few examples to give a small insight. In a final step, the paper will give an example of a current regulation system in Germany. In this case the regulation s
