Tele-Revolution : Telephone Competition at the Speed of Light, A History of the Creation of a Competitive Local Telephone Industry, 1984-2000
by Richard G. Tomlinson
Category: History

From the birth of Teleport Communications in a junk-strewn field on Staten Island to a $30 billion industry at the turn of the millennium, this book documents the creation of the competitive local telephone industry. More than a story of the birth, rise and, sometimes, death of corporate entities, this is about the people who dreamed dreams that could only be achieved by changing the world.
