principles that underlie the concept of the NII, the primary stakeholders
participating in its implementation, the current status of these issues
and the future implications for education, business,
industry and government.

- Telecom's New
Age (BusinessWeek Apr. 8 '96) Deregulation of the U.S.
telecommunications industry: opportunity or threat? On one hand we may see more
restructurings, mergers, and layoffs, on the other hand it offers a
"digital-free-for-all" for the communications giants and perhaps,
customer-oriented pricing of competitive services.
- Cyberpower
(Huber, Dec '96) The modern, electronically connected global markets
are providing the corporations and the consumers unprecedented control
over using their shopping clout and their dollars for influencing the
fate of their central and state governments. The new communication
technologies have resulted in increased fluidity of capital and labor
across the increasingly virtual boundaries of the nation states.
Increased competition for the global consumers' dollars [or dinars] is
expected to result in better responsiveness by the government regulators
if they want to survive in the new 'free' market.

- Too
Cheap to Meter? (Economist Oct 19 '96) This article
compares the pricing structures of the internet communications and
those provided by the telephone companies. The multimedia intensive
nature of the web imposes costs on those using less intensive
applications such as e-mail. Does the increasing congestion imply the
need for new settlement and pricing mechanisms? Trends suggest
movement toward 'priority' based pricing in which high priority users
would incur higher charges. However, the use-based pricing is
opposed by justifications provided by those favoring a flat-fee
structure.
