A Collection of Essays on Implementation
To commemorate the twentieth anniversary of the Telecommunications Act of 1996, the Journal has compiled thirty-two essays by individuals involved in the Act’s drafting, implementation, and attendant legal challenges. The essays come from former Chairmen, Commissioners past and present, FCC staff members, federal and state legislators, private attorneys, economists, and more. Their commentaries are diverse in subject matter and scope but all offer unique and valuable perspective on the 1996 Act and insightful lessons for future policy makers.
