The Bear Growls Again From the Telecom Woods
Technology Op-Ed

Letter to the EditorAndy Kessler gets it wrong. Telephone rates don't reflect a static status quo, but rather the efforts of companies to improve customer service, upgrade infrastructure and provide the latest technologies. But such innovation is nearly impossible under the Telecommunications Act of 1996, which strangles the telecom sector with unreasonable price controls and property-sharing demands. If Mr. Kessler is opposed to companies making profits, he should advocate for socialized telephone service. Vince Vasquez
