Abstract

The Federal Communications Commission has failed to implement deregulation of the telecommunications industry set in motion by the Telecommunications Act of 1996. Competition cannot be artificially stimulated by a regulatory process, a fact shown in the deregulation of the trucking, airlines, gas and oil pipelines, and other industries.
