Abstract:
"Digital Crossroads focuses on the regulatory dimensions of competition in wireline and wireless telephone service; competition among rival platforms for broadband Internet service and video distribution; and the Internet's transformation of every aspect of the telecommunications industry, particularly through the emergence of "voice over Internet protocol" (VoIP). The authors explain not just the complicated legal issues governing the industry but also the rapidly changing technological and economic context in which these issues arise."--BOOK JACKET.
