Developing A Domestic Common Carrier

Telecommunications Policy:

What Are The Issues?



During the past 20 years the Federal
Communications Commission has decided to
allow competition in some parts of the do-
mestic common carrier industry. Resulting
from these decisions and the established
carriers' reactions, the Congress has started to
focus attention on domestic common carrier
policy.
GAO believes there are three major issues
with which the Congress, the regulator,
industry, and concerned citizens must
soon come to grips if the Government is
to develop a cohesive domestic common
carrier telecommunications policy.

    --What policy goals should the United
    States pursue?

    --What industry structure should sup-
    ply common carrier services?

    --Can the present regulating methods
    be improved?

This report discusses these issues and the criti-
cal related issues inherent in each.
