The Telecommunications Act of 1996: A Commentary on What Is Really Going on Here The Telecommunications Act of 1996: A Commentary on What Is Really Going on Here The Telecommunications Act of 1996 was finally passed, after twelve years of Congress scrupulously shirking its responsibilities in this most important sector. Rightfully, this major change in the nation's regulatory structure is receiving considerable media and press attention. Unfortunately, but as planned by Congress, most of the attention is going to the wrong issue, the Decency Act. This blatantly unconstitutional provision is a red herring distracting the public's attention with an emotional issue. If one is truly concerned with how well our communications infrastructure serves consumers, what will really shape our future is the elimination of barriers between the industry's segments, e.g., local and long distance services, broadcast and cable television, etc.
