Telecommunications/ transportation substitution and energy conservation Part 2

Kenneth L. Kraemer and John Leslie King

Telecommunications Policy, 1982, vol. 6, issue 2, 87-99

Abstract: Part 1 of this article reviewed existing research both on attitudes toward telecommunications substitution for travel and on operational experiments with teleconferencing and telecommuting. Part 2 examines major factors influencing substitution, including government policy. It concludes that government policy can significantly facilitate telecommunications substitution for travel and, indeed, the achievement of any real measure of substitution may depend upon proactive government policy. However, this is an unlikely prospect in the current US national policy environment.
