  • Update on Competition in the Telecommunications Industry by Douglas Jacobson
    REGIONAL RESOURCE The Council of State Governmentsn3355 Lenox Road, N.E., Suite 1050nAtlanta, Georgia 30326n404/266-1271 Update on Competition in the Telecommunications Industry by Douglas Jacobson February 2003 Introduction While the telecommunications industry’s reputation has been tarnished by WorldCom’s struggles, an overcrowded marketplace, and artificially high stock prices, telecom companies and state and federal regulators continue to cooperate in order to provide new services to consumers. This Regional Resource serves as an update to Telecommunications Competition in Southern States, a Special Series Report published by the Southern Legislative Conference (SLC) in January 2001. It addresses the issue of Regional Bell Operating Companies (RBOCs), such as BellSouth, SBC Communications and Verizon, being allowed to offer long-distance telephone service in states in which they are the primary local-service carrier.1 The process of gaining approval and the effects of increased local-service and long-distance competition are being felt across the 16-state region of the SLC, in which consumers in 14 of the states now have increased competition in their long-distance and local-service markets. Furthermore, regulatory agencies and telecom companies in states in which consumers do not yet have this option currently are working on creating opportunities for more competition for consumers. Today’s telecom regime was formed by incumbent carriers (SBC and Verizon) received the Telecommunications Act of 1996. This the go-ahead in a total of seven states. Verizon, legislation requires companies which have the country’s largest service provider, scored virtual local-service monopolies to prove on the first success, winning permission to offer a state-by-state basis that they have opened long-distance service in New York in 1999.
