Abstract:

Impending changes in the nation’s telecommunications industry are expected to bring a complete transformation of traditional telephone service, a transformation that may make this vital service unaffordable for most Americans. Rural areas in North Carolina will be adversely affected by both the AT&T settlement and industry deregulation. Industry officials are asking Congress to take steps that will alleviate the situation.
