Spectrum Wars The Policy And Technology Debate

Manner (international alliances, WorldCom, Inc. and law, Georgetown U.) explains technological, economic, and regulatory aspects of the telecommunications industry issues related to spectrum use and control. She explains the workings of the radio communications spectrum and examines different telecommunications players including, predictably, companies, regulators, and consumers, but not publics. The American and international regulatory regime is discussed. More specialized topics include solutions to spectrum interference and secondary markets for spectrum. Finally she analyzes the economic crisis that beset the telecommunications industry in the early 2000s. Annotation ©2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
