This edited volume brings together sixteen leading communications-policy scholars to articulate a comprehensive telecommunications policy agenda for a new U.S. federal administration. It examines why previous reforms (notably the Telecommunications Act of 1996) failed, and proposes policies on key issues including network neutrality, rural and universal broadband access, media and spectrum regulation, media ownership, minority and public-service media, and digital inclusion — aiming to ensure that information technologies support democratic discourse, social responsibility, and equitable access in an inclusive 21st-century information society
