| November 19, 2008 |
The Department of Justice today issued a report on competitive developments in the telecommunications industry. The report, "Voice, Video and Broadband: The Changing Competitive Landscape and Its Impact on Consumers," http://www.usdoj.gov/atr/public/reports/239284.pdf is the result of a Telecommunications Symposium hosted by the Department last year.
The report addresses a number of issues that may affect consumers of telecommunications services and antitrust analysis in this industry, including the development of new facilities-based competition, wireless technologies as alternatives to wireline networks, price and non-price consumer benefits from competition, the significance of bundled products, and obstacles to competitive entry. The focus of the report is on telecommunications services provided to residential consumers, rather than business users.
