This week, a Congressional committee held hearings on the mergers of SBC with AT&T and Verizon with MCI. While some might worry about consolidation, the mergers are a sign that the telcos are preparing for a new wave of competition from businesses previously confined to other parts of the econo...
This week, the California Telephone Association met in Monterey, Calif., to think about the future of advanced communications. The topics that these small telecom companies discussed will affect consumers across the country. Predictions are difficult, but as musician Webb Wilder once said, it's eas...
While American soldiers risk their lives overseas to protect freedom, broadcasters at home are cowering in the shadows of government censors. The latest story involves Fox Network's decision to electronically blur a cartoon character's posterior for fear of being fined by the Federal Communications...
This week, federal regulators unleashed yet another telecommunications decision that will slow down progress, costing American jobs and economic growth. Technology's mantra of "faster, better, smaller and cheaper" is constantly running up against a bureaucratic mantra of "slower, mediocre, fumbling ...
Faced with antiquated technical issues and political pressure, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) this week contemplated lifting the ban on cellular telephone use on aircraft. The Commission proposed relaxing the current ban on wireless phone use during flights that was intended to avoid in...
Last week's Federal Communications Commission (FCC) decision on Internet telephony helped move the country towards President Bush's goal of ubiquitous broadband access by 2007. While this is welcome news, there's still much work to be done, and it's unclear whether the FCC has the will to make the ...
Verizon Wireless said it has reached an agreement to buy all the spectrum licenses held by NextWave Telecom for US$3 billion in cash, just the latest instance of consolidation in the wireless industry and one that ends a years-old legal dispute with regulators. Verizon, the second-largest wireless c...
Most rural carriers have been offering high-speed wireless Internet access (HSI) in their service areas for quite some time. Wireless Internet is advantageous in rural areas, where dense forestry often makes it expensive and technically difficult for telcos to provide conventional wireline broadband...
This week at the annual Telecosm conference at Lake Tahoe, Steve Forbes argued that many regulations, which mainly expand the power of government officials, are like a cancer that eats away at the benefits of capitalism. He's right, and that's exactly why the Telecom Act of 1996 needs to be revised...
The hot topic at this week's massive Telecom '04 conference in Las Vegas was voice over Internet protocol (VoIP), otherwise known as Internet telephony. VoIP revolutionizes telecommunications, but as attendees discovered, an obsolete pro-regulatory mindset threatens its growth. VoIP is disrupting t...
Last week California's Public Utilities Commission had an opportunity to undo some of the damage price controls have wreaked on the telecom sector. Instead it clung to a losing strategy that rewards sloth and punishes innovation. The PUC approved a below-cost wholesale rate that SBC can charge compe...
Touting research that showed the world's DSL broadband connections grew by more than 30 million subscribers in the year ending in June, the DSL Forum claimed the broadband technology is doubling and dominating broadband cable connection growth. Analysts pointed out that there was a sizeable gap betw...
Just as Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) has emerged as a significant competitor to traditional telephone services and has grown more pervasive in U.S. homes and businesses, television via high-speed Internet is becoming a reality as both broadband and competition grow. Evidence of the broadband ...
As students all across the United States were getting ready to head back to school, the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) was busy beefing up its prolonged attack on consumer fair use rights and emerging consumer technologies. In a quietly-submitted letter dated August 16, 2004, lawye...
Many believe that "as California goes, so goes the nation." If such is the case, dark days await the nation's telecom sector. The problem stems from the iron grip of regulators on telecom providers. The 1996 Telecom Act set out rules that were supposed to create more competition by mandating that th...
