Abstract
The Telecommunications Act of 1996, passed by Congress and signed by the president in February, rewrote the country's basic telecommunications law. It was drafted and passed in response to a rapidly changing telecommunications environment and the convergence of traditional local and long-distance telephone service, wireless telephones, and cable and broadcast television.
