  SORTING OUT DEREGULATION: PROTECTING FREE SPEECH AND INTERNET ACCESS IN THE UNITED STATES, GERMANY, AND JAPAN
Using political economy as its stated theoretical framework, the book describes the history of telecommunications deregulation in the United States, Germany, and Japan, explains ways in which telecommunications deregulation has affected universal access and free speech on the Internet, and articulates a vision of a government-constructed electronic democracy.
The stated objectives of the specific project are to “chart the shifts in balance between the market and the government after deregulation,” and “to trace its impact on public interest values such as universal service and free speech” (p.
Still, the similarities and contrasts between the regulatory approaches of the United States, Germany, and Japan toward the Internet are fascinating to consider, and the engaged reader comes away from the book with a new or renewed understanding of the importance of considering government regulation from a variety of sources and vantage points.

 Broadband Internet access - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Broadband Internet access became a rapidly developing market in many areas in the early 2000s; one study found that broadband Internet usage in the United States grew from 6% in June 2000 to over 30% in 2003.
Remote DSL access is becoming a sore point for many rural customers, as the technology has been available for some time now and phone companies keep promoting its availability, but at the same time the phone companies keep dragging their feet and are not doing anything to install the remote services.
In the United States, this is particularly a problem with the very large multistate independent local exchange carriers (non-RBOCs) that serve mostly rural areas.

 [No title]   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
The real competition for Internet access in the future is likely to be for broadband services both because of the maturation of Internet services requiring higher data rates and because of the way in which alternative facilities-based providers are likely to compete.
While broadband access will be important for the evolution of the Net and of competition for local access communications services, it is unclear how many broadband providers can survive in each market, and how vigorously they will compete if there are only two.
While we believe broadband access will be very important and widespread, there is still quite a bit of research that needs to be done to understand how competition for these services will evolve and to identify the best policies for promoting the continued development of the Internet.
