Telecompetition: The Free Market Road to the Information Highway

by Lawrence Gasman

Developments in telecommunications have moved at breakneck speed, bringing the wonders of modern technology to all aspects of our lives. Yet the American people are being deprived of the full benefits of the information revolution because government continues to regulate electronic communications. With the passage of the 1992 Cable Act, the regulatory stranglehold is actually getting tighter.

Gasman's lively and optimistic book shows that bureaucrats have neither the information nor the incentive to intelligently guide the information revolution and therefore the only alternative is the free market.

Telecompetition explains:

"Telecompetition" is not a luxury; it is an absolute necessity in the modern world. This book is nothing less than a manifesto on behalf of progress. Distributed to the trade by National Book Network.

Lawrence D. Gasman is president of Communications Industry Researchers, Inc., a management consulting firm specializing in technology and market forecasting for the telecommunication industry.

"Lawrence Gasman's broad-ranging vision of a deregulated, broadband telecommunications market will be realized sooner than many expect. 'Telecompetition' is coming. Gasman's provocative, readable book will help to speed its arrival."
