Abstract
Confused about the federal regulation of the Internet, Internet telephony, debit cards, long distance resale, pay phones, universal service support, hearing-aid compatible telephones, fax machines and telecommunications relay service? This paper provides an up-to-the minute review of FCC regulations relevant to issues such as these and discusses the effect on higher education of, and court action concerning, the recently released FCC's orders on universal service and access charges for information services, and the FCC's proposals for incentives for telephone companies to develop data networks to support Internet and other information services.
