  Telecommunication policy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The policy behind telecommunications in the US is directed by decision makers in the Municipal, State, federal and International arenas; as well as the Legislative, Executive, Judicial branches of government and the Regulatory Commissions like the FCC.
The policy framework determines the bundle of service available to the consumer, as well as the industry structure.
The hallmark event in the history of the US Telecommunication industry would be the break up of the Bell Telephone company into Baby bells or RBOCs.

 ERS/USDA Briefing Room - Rural Telecommunications: Rural Telecommunication Policy
Telecommunication policy includes virtually everything that an information society uses to convey facts and ideas—one reason why the more inclusive term "communication and information" services is becoming more commonly used than the term "telecommunication" services.
Telecommunication policy enshrined in the Telecommunications Act of 1996 covers telephones, wireless telephony, ham radios, cable TV, computers, the Internet, broadcast radio, broadcast TV, distance learning, telemedicine, satellite communications, interstate trade, public morality over the airwaves, cross-ownership of media, telecommunication equipment manufacturing, and many other communication and information economic activities partially or in their entirety.
The primary policy vehicle is the Telecommunications Act of 1996, which was the first comprehensive rewrite of the Communications Act of 1934.

 GISP: Program on Telecommunication Policy
The Program on Telecommunications and Cybersecurity Policy is concerned with issues relating to (1) protecting and maintaining a resilient telecommunications industry and infrastructure, (2) protecting against or responding to cyber attacks on telecommunication, network, or computer infrastructure, and (3) regulatory policy relating to telecommunications infrastructure and spectrum management, ownership, and control.
Since over 90% of telecommunication infrastructure is in private sector hands, government policy mechanisms are needed to influence private firm behavior in areas where market externalities inhibit sufficient investment in resilience or inter-firm cooperation, particularly where the consequence of failure has national effect.
Thus, determining spectrum policy is fundamental to the continued development of "cyberspace" as a platform for human communication and culture, as well as for continued economic growth and development.

* Prefer non-residential locations - It is preferable that new telecommunication towers be sited in non-residential locations.Council approval is required for telecommunication towers on municipal property and road right-of-way and for locations in development permit areas or sites governed by land use contracts.
* Justification - All applications for telecommunication towers should identify any other structure within a radius of 300 metres of the proposed location and provide reasons why other existing structures within that radius are not acceptable for use (i.e., structural capabilities, safety, available space or failing to meet service coverage needs, etc.).
* Allow for sharing - All telecommunication companies are encouraged to work co- operatively in reaching agreements which allow for sharing of tower structures so as to minimize the total number of towers in Delta (co-location).

 Telecommunications
The policy of the European Union towards the information society has from the beginning taken into account the need to avoid a "two-tier society", divided between those who have access to the new possibilities and are comfortable using them and those who are excluded from fully enjoying their benefits.
In order to ensure universal service for telecommunications to all European users, the European Parliament and the Council have adopted in 1998 the Directive 98/10 on open network provision to voice telephony and on universal service for telecommunications in a competitive environment.
In the context of further monitoring developments, the Commission announced its intention to focus on areas which appear to be of the greatest concern including households without telephone service, affordability and related consumer protection issues, the situation of low income and disabled users, and, in the context of the growing use of Internet.
