Abstract: Abstract To what extent has digital convergence pushed the U.S. to a new phase of the Information Age, one favouring scale and scope over entrepreneurial newcomers? As we consider this question, what stands out is the similarity between the communications revolution of the late 19th century and today’s digital revolution. In both eras, challenges by entrepreneurs from peripheral U.S. regions led to an accelerated deployment of new technologies.
