As the telecommunication and information field expands and becomes more varied, so do publications about these technologies and industries. This book is a first attempt to provide a general guide to that wealth of English-language publications -- both books and periodicals -- on all aspects of telecommunication. It is a comprehensive, evaluative sourcebook for telecommunications research in the United States that brings together a topically-arranged, cross-referenced, and indexed volume in one place. The information provided is only available by consulting a succession of different directories, guides, bibliographies, yearbooks, and other resources. On the one hand, it is a directory that describes in detail the major entities that comprise the American telecommunication research infrastructure including federal and state government offices and agencies, and private, public, and corporate research institutions. On the other hand, it is a bibliography that identifies and assesses the most important and useful reference and critical resources about U.S. telecommunication history, technology, industry and economics, social applications and impacts, plus policy, law and regulations, and role in the global telecommunication marketplace. No existing guide covers all of these aspects in the depth and detail of this volume.

Privatization of the Mexican and Chilean telecommunications industries can provide guidelines for industry restructuring. Specifically, privatization of Compañía de Telecommunicaciones de Chile and Telefonos de Mexico provides two case studies to examine and analyze in assessing the role of privatization with respect to communication and information technologies and services in promoting economic development within lesser-developed countries. A thorough examination of these two approaches will provide a conceptual framework for evaluating the full range of benefits and costs associated with implementation of specific policies contributing to sound telecommunications decisions. This dissertation presents an analytical comparison of privatization of the Chilean and Mexican telecommunications industries, beginning with an overview of the telecommunications industry in developing nations. A discussion of the lessons learned from privatization of telecommunications in other developing nations as well as progress to date will follow. A review of the background of telecommunications privatization and lessons from more-developed nations completes the historical background necessary to frame the remaining topics. An examination of recent developments shows how the pressure for reform is mounting, notably because of technological advancements and the increasingly competitive telecommunications global marketplace. The primary focus of the paper is on identifying policies and practices that will maximize the gains from divestiture. Telefonos de Mexico and Compañía de Telecommunicaciones de Chile are examined in a comparative analysis of the privatization processes and results in Mexico and Chile. An examination of research results includes a discussion of socioeconomic issues and their implications followed by a discussion of policy issues and their implications. The paper ends with a discussion of research limitations and suggestions for further research.
