                            BEFORE THE

            AGRICULTURE OF THE COMMITTEE ON GOVERNMENT
                            OPERATIONS
                     HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
                                OF
                   THE EFFECTS OF CHANGES  IN THE
                   TELECOMMUNICATIONS   INDUSTRY
                        ON FCC'S OPERATIONS


Mr. Chairman and Members of the Subcommittee:


     We welcome your invitation to discuss  the effects of changes
in the telecommunications  industry on the operations, workload,
and structure of the Federal Communications Commission  (FCC). As
you are aware, the past decade has been one of  explosive growth
and change in this industry.  Decisions by FCC,  the Congress, and
the courts have created opportunities  to develop many new telecom-
munications products and services.  They have also opened the door
to increased competition and deregulation  in telecommunications
markets.  However, the transition to a competitive marketplace  is
not complete.  The role of FCC has,  if anything, become increas-
ingly important during this period.  Many of  its recent decisions
and many issues which it is now considering will have major
effects on the development of competition  in the industry and the
availability of telecommunications products  and services to the
citizens of the United States.
