Almost nine years have passed since the Telecommunications Act of 1996, the first major congressional overhaul of telecommunications law in almost sixty-two years. The provisions concerning competition for local telephone services have been especially controversial and have prompted much litigation. Given the likelihood that Congress will revisit telecommunications legislation in 2005, this conference offers two alternative visions for the future of telecommunications deregulation in the United States. The presenters will suggest key legislative and regulatory changes that are needed to improve economic welfare.
