Cross Subsidies in the Telephone Network after Divestiture

Abstract

Those who do not understand history are condemned to repeat it. The current discussion of cross-subsidies by the RBOCs threaten to reiterate all of the confusions of pre-divestiture discussions of AT&T's presumed cross subsidies. More careful analysis of current conditions reveals that the RBOC's competitive activities are not being cross subsidized out of the local rate base. If they are being subsidized, the subsidies come from the IX carriers. Copyright 1990 by Kluwer Academic Publishers
