Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rapid pace of technological change is placing the world's telephone companies in a very difficult position. Fiber optics cables, wireless telephones, digital signal compression, and sophisticated new switching equipment are lowering the cost of providing service and opening the gates to new competition. At the same time, these new technologies are providing the telephone companies with a wide array of new market opportunities. Unfortunately, their status as regulated carriers makes it difficult to exploit these new opportunities and to fend off competitive assaults on their traditional telephone business. As long as they are regulated, they can be accused of using their monopoly services to cross-subsidize new competitive ventures. But partial deregulation and open entry would be a catastrophe for them unless they were allowed to revise their rate structure. There is a widespread misconception that the U.S. telecommunications industry has been "deregulated" and that Canadian authorities are following the U.S. lead. In fact, most services remain regulated, even though some markets, such as long-distance services, equipment sales and rentals, and local services, have been opened up. This book reviews the recent changes in the structure of U.S. and Canadian telecommunications industries and the changes in regulatory policy on both sides of the border. The authors analyze the effects of these changes in regulation on telephone rates in both the local and long-distance markets with particular emphasis on the impacts of regulatory reforms and competition on long-distance rates. They use their results to suggest how regulation should be structured to allow competition to replace monopoly on the road to the information superhighway. The authors contend that for decades misguided regulation of the telephone sector in both Canada and the U.S. denied consumers the benefits of competition, distorted local and long-distance telephone rates, and blocked en

This book was released on 1996 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is a compilation of papers reflecting many of the issues related to telecommunications that are being debated today and are likely to continue to be addressed in the next few years. The papers examine the ways in which economic and technological forces are changing the regulation of telecommunications and the characteristics of the industry itself. After an introduction on issues such as the information highway, industry consolidation, market integration, and constraints on new policies, the papers cover such topics as the changes in Canadian telecommunications and their economics, the role of telecommunications in productivity and competition, the business network concept as an alternative governance structure, competition policy, convergence of technologies, separation of infrastructure from services, European telecommunications policy, and the historical context in which Canada has handled earlier transformations of a technological nature.

Download or read book Changing the Rules written by Robert W. Crandall and published by Brookings Institution Press. This book was released on 2001-06-29 with total page 444 pages. 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: The year 2005 began with the announcements that the two leading long-distance carriers -- AT&T and MCI -- were being acquired by two of the four major incumbent local exchange carriers -- SBC and Verizon -- and ended with regulatory approval virtually completed. Shortly thereafter, the new AT&T (SBC and the old AT&T) announced its intention to acquire BellSouth. At the same time, the industry, business, and popular press contained numerous accounts of the increasing potential of alternatives to traditional voice communications, e.g., the major push of cable television providers and the activities of internet based services such as Vonage and Skype. These developments indicate that the focus of competition is shifting from a single voice market to the “triple play” of voice, video, and high-speed data (Internet access). These competitive developments imply a very different model of competition and industry structure than that envisioned in the 1996 Telecommunications Act and in the Federal CommunicationsCommission's implementation of the Telecommunications Act. Rather than competition being among “dominant firms” supplying essential inputs to new entrants for traditional voice service, the industry has evolved to one in which firms with different “intermodal” networks and technologies often vie for the patronage of customers purchasing packages of services. This paper discusses recent regulatory responses to these developments as well as possible implications for future ex ante and/or ex post regulation. In particular, a growing number of state governments have enacted legislative or regulatory changes that typically limit retail price regulation to services such as the basic residential telephone line. Similarly, the FCC has received requests for regulatory forbearance for wholesale services under Section 10 of the Telecommunications Act for incumbent operations in Omaha, Nebraska and Anchorage, Alaska. The Canadian telecommunications regulator and Cabinet ministry have also recently considered similar issues of retail regulation/deregulation. The paper also discusses approaches for assessing market power and other competitive issues, e.g., vertical integration, that account for the specific characteristics of the emerging (converging) industry. It concludes by describing the implications of the emerging nature of telecommunications competition for market power assessment, continued regulation, and antitrust analyses.
