State Net Neutrality, Daniel A. Lyons
State Net Neutrality, Daniel A. Lyons
Daniel Lyons
For nearly a century, state regulators played an important role in telecommunications regulation. The 1934 Communications Act gave the Federal Communications Commission authority to regulate interstate telephone service, but explicitly left intrastate calls—which comprised 98% of Depression-era telephone traffic—to state public utility commissions. By the late 2000s, however, as landline telephony faded to obscurity, scholars and policymakers alike recognized that the era of comprehensive state telecommunications regulation had largely come to an end.

Narrowing The Digital Divide: A Better Broadband Universal Service Program, Daniel Lyons
Narrowing The Digital Divide: A Better Broadband Universal Service Program, Daniel Lyons
Daniel Lyons
Universal service has long been an integral component of American telecommunications policy. As more activities move online, it becomes increasingly important to narrow the digital divide by helping low-income Americans get online and by extending broadband networks into unserved areas.
