Report To The Congress

OF THE UNITED STATES


Legislative And Regulatory Actions

Needed To Deal With A Changing

Domestic Telecommunications Industry


Due to rapid technological change, the do-
mestic common carrier telecommunications
industry is in transition from a highly monop-
olized structure to a more competitive one.
Reacting to this technological change, the Fed-
eral Communications Commission, supported
by the courts, has issued a series of decisions
allowing competition. This, however, has cre-
ated a need for the Commission to expand its
regulatory approach to assure fair compe-
tition. GAO is making recommendations to
the Congress and the Commission to

   --amend the Communications Act of
   1934 to clarify and refine the methods
   for regulating domestic telecommunica-
   tions common carriers and

   --provide a framework for improving the
   Commission's regulatory program.
