The passage of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 inaugurated a new and highly volatile era in telecommunications. The first major overhaul of United States communications law since 1934 -- when no one had a television, a cordless phone, or a computer -- the Act was spurred into being by broad shifts in technology use. Equally important, the new law reflects important changes in our notions of the purpose of communications regulation itself. Focusing on the evolution of the concept of the public interest, this book examines how and why the Act was developed, analyzes it thematically, and charts its intended and unintended effects in business and policy. An abridged version of the Act is included, as are the Supreme Court decision that struck down one of its clauses, the Communications Decency Act, and a variety of pertinent speeches, policy arguments, and resource listings.
