Summary
In ... And Communications for All, sixteen leading communications policy scholars present a comprehensive telecommunications policy agenda for the new federal administration. This agenda emphasizes the potential of information technologies to improve democratic discourse, social responsibility, and the quality of life along with the means by which such information technologies can be made available to all Americans. Addressing a range of topics, including network neutrality, rural connectivity, media ownership, minority ownership, spectrum policy, universal broadband policy, and media for children, this book articulates a comprehensive vision for the United States as a twenty-first-century information society that is both internally inclusive and globally competitive.
