The following analysis provides an overview of the pre- and post-divestiture organizational structure and details the evolution of the anti- trust action which resulted in this divestiture.

Shelanski [email protected] Follow this and additional works at: http://chicagounbound.uchicago.edu/uclf Recommended Citation Shelanski, Howard A. () "Competition and Deployment of New Technology in U.S. Telecommunications," University of Chicago Legal Forum: Vol. 2000: Iss. 1, Article 5. Available at: http://chicagounbound.uchicago.edu/uclf/vol2000/iss1/5 This Article is brought to you for free and open access by Chicago Unbound.

Competition and Deployment of New Technology in U.S. Telecommunications Howard A. Shelanskit Participants in regulatory and antitrust proceedings affect- ing telecommunications have, with increasing frequency, asserted that policy decisions designed to promote or preserve competition will have unintended, negative consequences for technological change.1 The goal of this study is to determine the initial pre- sumption with which regulators and enforcement agencies should approach such contentions. To that end, this Article examines how the introduction of new technology in U.S. telecommunica- tions networks has historically related to market structure. It analyzes deployment data from a sample of technologies and finds that innovations have been more rapidly deployed in tele- communications networks the more competitive have been the markets in which those networks operated. This positive correla- tion between competition and adoption of new technology sug- gests that regulators and enforcement officials should be wary of claims that, by adhering to policies designed to preserve competi- tion, they will impede firms from deploying innovations or bringing new services to consumers.2 f School of Law, University of California at Berkeley.

  • Weeks V. Southern Bell: Breaking Discriminatory Employment Barriers for Women in the Workforce
    Weeks v. Southern Bell: Breaking Discriminatory Employment Barriers for Women in the Workforce Julianna Velgersdyk Junior Division Paper Paper Length: 2,497 words “I’m going to have that job, one way or another! Somebody’s going to listen to me, if I have to go all the way to Chief Justice Earl Warren.” ‒Lorena Weeks, 1969 ​ Despite years of hard work and protest for equal rights, women still were not given the same opportunities as men. Continuing this fight, Lorena Weeks sought to break barriers in women’s employment in 1966 in Wadley, Georgia. After being denied a promotion at Southern Bell because of her gender, Weeks took her case to court as the first discrimination case filed under the Civil Rights Act of 1964. After three years of fighting in both district and appellate courts, Weeks’s determination and support from the women’s movement earned her the job as switchman and broke gender barriers. Weeks’ victory set a precedent for the many ​ ​ discrimination cases that would follow and advanced the larger fight for equality for women. Early History of Employment Barriers Women entered the workforce in the United States in the early 1800s, but with a lower ​ ​ status than men. Most were young and single and worked unskilled jobs or became teachers. By the 1920s, some women went to college and worked as secretaries or nurses. Organizations formed to better the low wages and unsafe working conditions for women. The Women’s Bureau ​ ​ and the Women’s Trade Union League sought to improve working conditions and welfare of women in the 1920s.1 1 Gale Encyclopedia of U.S.
