Abstract
Deregulation is a frequently used term within the telecommunications industry in the United States. Advocated by Chairman Mark Fowler of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), the emphasis of deregulation is to let the marketplace dictate the economic and technological forces in the telecommunications environment. Through reduced governmental burdens, a marketplace approach could promote a social Darwinism philosophy in weeding out the weak competition and thereby establishing economic prices at the most competitive level in the telecommunications field. This article first addresses the marketplace approach to broadcast regulation in terms of Congressional and FCC actions. Then, factors outside the FCC that shape the telecommunications industry will be discussed. Last, marketplace “unregulation” in the 1980's will be explained.
