Abstract
Chronicles the USA’s provision of telecoms services from the early 1970s. States it is unknown whether competition has been a success and whether today’s competition is better than Bell’s monopoly position of old. Pinpoints competition and subsidization and looks at how the US system works. Concludes that for competition proper all subsidy forms should be eliminated, which means access charge, etc., but wonders whether this could actually happen?
