The Communications Revolution at Work, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

The essays explore the blurring of lines between telecommunications and broadcasting and the nature and feasibility of regulation; the introduction of public services through interactive terminals and questions of access and equity; the possibility of virtually unrestricted dissemination of knowledge, making it almost a free good, and questions of ownership and incentives to those who generate knowledge; and the costs and benefits of the creation of \"virtual\" campuses through computer-supported distance learning.
