Making universal service policy

de Barbara A. Cherry, Steven S. Wildman

"Making Universal Service Policy: Enhancing the Process Through Multidisciplinary Evaluation addresses the development of a more effective telecommunications universal service policy among policymakers, industry players, nonprofit institutions and other stakeholders in the United States.". "This volume reflects the authors' and editors' shared position that a more effective process for policy implementation is to seek agreement on how the entitlements embedded in universal service policy can best be modified as circumstances change over time. The multidimensional, interdisciplinary framework constructed here can be applied to the design of universal service policy over time and is thus relevant to policy development both in the United States and in other nations."--BOOK JACKET.
