The creation, manipulation, transmission, storage, and use of information constitute the United States' and the world's largest economic sector, affecting almost every aspect of business, education, government, and entertainment. The convener of From Conduit to Content: The Emergence of Information Policy and Law introduces The Annenberg Washington Program forum by noting the proliferation of information technologies and services, the diversity of industries and interests affected, and the number of government entities with jurisdiction, that contribute to both the complexity and the importance of information policy making.

The Last Mile: A Race For Local Telecommunications Competition Policy, Craig D. Dingwall
The Last Mile: A Race For Local Telecommunications Competition Policy, Craig D. Dingwall
Federal Communications Law Journal
Although AT&T relinquished control of its local exchange carriers (LECs) in 1983, competition in the local telecommunications market has not flourished. Instead, Bell Operating Companies (BOCs) still retain the bulk of the market share for local exchange services, and most customers cannot access alternative local exchange service providers. In the long-distance market, however, increased competition has provided customers with better services at lower costs. In order to reproduce the notable consumer advantages found in the long-distance market, consumers must have consistent, convenient access to a multiplicity of alternative service providers.
The Author examines barriers surrounding the lack of competition in …

Telecommunications In Transition: Unbundling, Reintegration, And Competition, David J. Teece
Michigan Telecommunications & Technology Law Review
The world economy is experiencing a technological revolution, fueled by rapid advances in microelectronics, optics, and computer science, that in the 1990s and beyond will dramatically change the way people everywhere communicate, learn, and access information and entertainment. This technological revolution has been underway for about a decade. The emergence of a fully-interactive communications network, sometimes referred to as the "Information Superhighway," is now upon us. This highway, made possible by fiber optics and the convergence of several different technologies, is capable of delivering a plethora of new interactive entertainment, informational, and instructional services that are powerful and user-friendly. The …

Vertical Integration And Program Access In The Cable Television Industry, David Waterman
Vertical Integration And Program Access In The Cable Television Industry, David Waterman
Federal Communications Law Journal
As a result of the 1992 Cable Television Act, the FCC set out regulations intended to encourage competition to established cable operators by insuring that alternative multichannel video programming distributors (MVPDs), such as MMDS, SMATV, DBS, and "overbuilt" cable systems have access to programming on the same terms and conditions as established cable operators. The FCC's specific regulations, however, apply only to program suppliers in which any cable operator has a 5 percent or greater equity interest. These vertically integrated programmers are prohibited from any price discrimination in any market (except for differences the programmer can justify on the basis …
