- Summary
- "This study documents attempts by the United States and other governments to direct, replace, and bypass international telecommunications institutions. The results are indirect control over foreign domestic markets, government management of private corporations, and government protection of its own domestic communication market. Hills reveals that the motivation behind these powerful, regulatory efforts on person-to-person communication lies in the unmatched importance of communication in the world economy."--BOOK JACKET.
