Description: "This book is an account of the way politics has shaped the information age in America. Reed E.

Hundt, chairman from 1993 to 1997 of the Federal Communications Commission, the nation's chief regulatory agency for media and communications industries, tells of the battles for political advantage that lie behind the enormous creation of wealth and social changes that are generally called the "New Economy." The central theme is the interplay between the technological revolution of the Internet and the political revolution embodied in the Telecommunications Act of 1996.

Out of these two forces came a national commitment to replace monopoly with competition and to guarantee access to the Internet to all Americans, including every child in every classroom."--BOOK JACKET.
