Universal service: obligation or opportunity?

Colin R Blackman

Telecommunications Policy, 1995, vol. 19, issue 3, 171-176

Abstract: This Comment discusses the main issues raised at a recent workshop on the universal service obligation. In a competitive environment is there a need to rethink what we mean by the terms 'universal service' and 'universal service obligation'? How much does it cost and who is going to pay for it? And what will universal service mean in future in the era of the information superhighway?
