Abstract
Communications markets have made much progress towards competition and deregulation in recent years, but much remains to be done. Indeed, as 2000 draws to a close, it is increasingly clear that much more needs to be done, and that new approaches, both at the Federal Communications Commission and in Congress, will be required to complete the task. In this volume, we present six papers that show how to finish the job of deregulating communications markets and reforming the FCC.
