| Abstract: | AT&T may use cellular to invade the Bells' local-phone turf. For hundreds of thousands of people in developing countries and former communist states, a wireless phone is a basic necessity. In those nations where wired phone systems are inadequate or nonexistent, wireless technology has proved to be a quick and inexpensive way to bring phones to the masses. Now it looks like the U.S., where cellular phones remain a pricey adjunct to one of the world's best wired phone systems, could catch up with Columbia or Russia. What's happening? in a word: deregulation. |
