The Telecommunications Act of 1996 wrought dramatic changes throughout the telecommunications field. Telecommunications Law in the Internet Age presents in layman's terms the obligations and opportunities that the 1996 Act has presented to the industry. Unlike other telecom law books, this book addresses not only federal U.S. law, but also the state and international laws affecting the new competitive industry. This book examines these laws, as well as the World Trade Organization and the Internet as they affect the entire telecom field.
Written primarily for managers, the book is also very useful to practicing attorneys and students in telecom law programs. This book provides a useful, eminently readable overview of a some-times staggeringly complex topic. No company that provides or uses telecommunications should be without it.
