Public policy in telecommunications: The third revolution
电信行业正经历第三次革命，技术和市场推动变革，但公共政策滞后带来经济成本。本文讨论政策如何适应未来多媒体信息基础设施，以最大化行业对国民收入的贡献。
Telecommunications has undergone two major revolutions and is currently undergoing its third and potentially its greatest revolution. In each case, technology and markets drove the revolution, pressing against existing public policy constraints. Eventually, public policy adapted to these revolutions, but at significant economic cost. Public policy will continue to play a crucial role in telecommunications for the foreseeable future, especially as it (perhaps) evolves into the multimedia information infrastructure envisioned by many. However, the appropriate public policy mechanisms to ensure the maximum contribution of this sector to national income will be significantly different from today's policy institutions.
