Telecommunications policy making and institutions of the US government

Paul Polishuk

Telecommunications Policy, 1976, vol. 1, issue 1, 52-67

Abstract: Telecommunications policy making in the US government is performed by its legislative, executive, and judicial branches. The role of organisations in each is reviewed in the light of present and future specific policy questions. Although policy is made by decisions of the legislative and executive branches, actions by the judiciary also make policy, although no formal institutional structure exists for handling telecommunications per se. Descriptions of the most important policy-making agencies are included, based on their active participation in the development of national telecommunications policy or research. Where appropriate, specific examples of policy issues under study or consideration are given.
