Global Broadband Battles: Why the U.S. and Europe Lag While Asia Leads
August 9th, 2006
“Global Broadband Battles is a fascinating and detailed account of the reasons why Japan and Korea have risen to world leadership in broadband communication, while the U.S. and Europe have been lagging. Fransman’s book forcefully presents important policy lessons for companies and governments: competition should be fostered, the entry of new firms should be supported, and a regulatory regime allowing new competitors to be innovative should be encouraged.”—Franco Malerba, Director of Centre for Research on Innovation and Internationalization, Bocconi University, Italy

"This book evaluates the FCCís successes and failures in implementing watershed legislation to deregulate the telecommunications industry. Harold Furchtgott-Rothís intellectual rigor and real-world experience in government deliver stunning insights into the interplay of politics, economics, and law in the modern regulatory state. This book is required reading for any student of administrative law, public choice, and the regulation of industry."

American Telecommunications Policy in the Internet Age
November 18th, 2005
Telecommunications policy profoundly affects the economy and our everyday lives. Yet accounts of important telecommunications issues tend to be either superficial (and inaccurate) or mired in jargon and technical esoterica. In Digital Crossroads, Jonathan Nuechterlein and Philip Weiser offer a clear, balanced, and accessible analysis of competition policy issues in the telecommunications industry. After giving a big picture overview of the field, they present sharply reasoned analyses of the major technological, economic, and legal developments confronting communications policymakers in the twenty-first century.
