Toward competition and choice [telecommunication industry]

Public policy should liberate technology and encourage the free and fair competition that is in the best interests of nations and their people. In the USA legislation is in progress that would rewrite the Telecommunications Act of 1934. True competition means cost-based access to all providers who want to compete. Public policy makers have the opportunity to remove the biggest stumbling block between the telecommunications industry of today and the global information superhighway of tomorrow. It's not technology, not even money; it's market access.
