Abstract

The telecommunications landscape is very different from the days of the national monopolies. Deregulation, coupled with technological change, has affected the types of telecommunications, the providers of service, and the availability of various service bundles. This paper looks at one dimension of the new landscape: the facility-based investment by new providers in metropolitan areas in the USA. New providers include those who target high-volume business customers as well as the more widespread wireless service. A data set comprising central office switches permits analysis of the location and the type service provision by the new telecommunications competitors in American cities.
