FCC (Federal Communications Commission) Needs to Monitor a Changing International Telecommunications Market

摘要

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the Congress have taken action over the past 2 years to reduce entry barriers for the U.S. portion of the international telecommunications market. The decisions are expected to increase competition and benefit consumers. GAO found considerable disagreement among the telecommunications carriers and others as to whether decisions reached by FCC and the Congress will actually increase market competition. The Commission needs to monitor market behavior to ensure that its decisions are having desired effects.
