概要:

application/pdf<br />Departmental Bulletin Paper<br />On October 27, 2005, DOJ approved the SBC/AT&T and Verizon/MCI mergers. On October\n31, 2005, FCC authorized them. In these consent degrees, DOJ conditioned the divestiture of\nsome special access connections to some buildings in these RBOCs’in-religion territories. In\naddition, FCC accepted voluntary, enforceable commitments made by the applicants as merger\nconditions. These … decisions altered the competitive framework of the U.S. telecommunications\nindustry since 1984, when former AT&T Corporation was divested. The Telecommunications\nAct of 1996 succeeded to the framework, and hypothesized that the PSTN continues to be the\nunrivaled infrastructure for the industry. Nevertheless, the rise of the IP-based networks has\noutdated it. FCC tried to modify the framework to accommodate to the Internet age.\nHowever, these adjustments also caused asymmetric regulations, which have caused a great\nnumber of lawsuits since the AT&T Corp. v. City of Portland, 43 F. Supp. 2d 1146.\nComprehensive legislation by the Congress based on the layers model is indispensable for the\nfuture. 続きを見る
