Telecommunications services industry

Article Abstract:

The telecommunications industry is in a state of flux, and companies operating in that industry face competition from non-traditional sources. They have therefore begun programs to downsize their operations to be competitive. Federal and state regulation of the new marketplace will greatly influence the success or failure of companies as they enter new markets or offer new services. Particularly risky are the prospects of personal communications services (PCS) carriers. These companies are not expected to generate healthy profits for several years, even if they are able to wrest customers from by-then-established cellular services.

Telecommunications services industry

Article Abstract:

Deregulation and technological innovation have changed the marketplace for telecommunications, not only for Regional Bell Holding Companies but also for access providers and long-distance services. State and federal regulation are making both local and long-distance service more competitive. Telecommunications may no longer be an industry for those seeking dividends, but it does have areas of investment interest.
