Forum for Social Economics, 2002, vol. 31, issue 2, 55-68

Abstract: Economic literature and historical experience indicate a causal relationship between telecommunications and a country's development. This article, using structural microeconomic theory, outlines policies that will contribute to optimal accessibility and penetration of new telecommunication technology. Deregulation, privatization, licensing, and interconnection are discussed. Grass roots organizations and the urban/suburban “universal access” problem are included in a section on the digital divide.
