The dynamic changes occurring in the telecommunications industry can be seen nearly every day in the news, from the announcements of mergers and acquisitions among telephony service providers to the ongoing discussions of V-chip application in filtering content on television and the Internet. As the industry continues to respond to the Telecommunications Act of 1996 and other policy initiatives and changes, such evolution is certain to continue. Included here are selected papers from the 1997 TPRC, reflecting the ongoing pace of change in technological, economic, and policy issues. Organized around the topics of telephony, media, and the Internet, these papers represent many of the key issues for scholars, policy-makers, and practitioners. With topics ranging from guidelines for children's educational television to local telephone service regulation to intellectual property rights on the Internet, the coverage in this volume represents the broad-ranging scope of the telecommunications industry and establishes a new benchmark for further telecommunications policy research and analysis.
