This book provides a broad survey of contemporary and emerging communications technologies — from fiber‑optic systems, satellites, wireless and mobile communications, to digital media, production technologies, and internet services.
In addition, it analyzes the social, economic, legal and political implications of these technologies: privacy and law (e.g. wiretapping, online privacy), regulatory and policy issues, and how technological change influences media, information access, and communication practices.
