Description: Restrictions on foreign investment in U.S. telecommunications firms have harmed the interests of American consumers and investors, argues J. Gregory Sidak in this convincing study. Sidak shows why these restrictions, originally intended to protect America from the perils of wireless telegraphy by foreign agents, should be repealed (rather than be retained almost unaltered as they were in the Telecommunications Act of 1996).
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. [407]-423) and indexes.
