Hi:
The federal Telecommunications Act (104-104), which passed in Feb. of this
year, holds both promise (universal service section) and problems (CDA) for
the library community. If you have an interest in this area I have had a Web
page on the act available since about March. It is at:
http://www.state.wi.us/agencies/dpi/www/telecom_act.html
This page has about 50 links divided into the following three sections.
1) General Information On The Act. Includes actual full text of the act,
reviews, interpretations and critiques.
2) Information On Universal Service (US). Includes the section of the Act
related to US including statements by ALA and FCC actions in this area.
3) Information On The Communications Decency Act (CDA). This section
includes sites tracking CDA activities and court actions on this issue.
I hope you find this site useful.
-- Bob
