While many telecommunication books focus on national issues and the FCC, few address the state's role in regulating the telecommunication industry. Telecommunication policy has often been an insider's game -- conducted by regulators and the industry. As such, competition undermines the traditional regime of regulated monopolies while new technologies reshape the industry and provide more choices for consumers.  This book provides essential information about state telecommunications issues to Governors' policy advisors. It also serves a valuable public function beyond its intended audience as a popular introduction to telecommunications policy in these turbulent times.

In public policy and private management, America hungers for new ideas. Of the new ideas that have percolated into the agenda of public debate in recent days, I can think of none more provocative, more innovative, or more important than Lew Perelman's vision of  the "learning enterprise." Its central concept is a stirring challenge to conventional wisdom: Learning is the key capital-forming industry of the postindustrial economy....[T]his is a milestone statement in the national debate swirling about work and learning, and about education and the economy. I believe Perelman's concept of the learning enterprise will force a basic change in the terms of this debate. His report is destined to be controversial. But the new ideas it offers are just what America needs today.-- Pat Choate, from the Introduction
