REPORT BY THE U.S.



General Accounting Office


Can The Federal Communications

Commission Successfully Implement

Its Computer II Decision?



The Federal Communications Commission
must carry out a variety of complex tasks to
implement its Computer II decision, involving
the regulatory problems raised by the conver-
gence of data processing and communications
technologies.

The Commission has made Computer II imple-
mentation its Common Carrier Bureau's high-
est priority and has established a task force
with specific responsibility for implementa-
tion activities. Questions remain, however, as
to whether the Commission has the resources
and the capabilities to successfully carry out
required tasks.

On January 8, 1982, the Department of Jus-
tice reached an agreement with the American
Telephone and Telegraph Company to settle
the antitrust suit. The Commission is in the
process of evaluating the impact of the agree-
ment on its ongoing and future activities,
including the Computer II implementation.
