- Summary
- Bringing together experts on Latin American countries, and providing a comprehensive view of what individual countries are doing to build a telecommunications capability, Telecommunications in Latin America addresses the complicated economic and policy issues of each country's telecommunications. The editor and his staff have skillfully integrated the chapters into a coherent volume, keeping the information accessible to non-specialists.
- Particular attention is paid to telecommunications as a link in the chain of the regional development process and to the privatization process that has swept across the subcontinent. This study will be of interest to students and professionals in the areas of communication, international telecommunications companies, and country governments in Latin America.
