Who Pays for Universal Service?: When Telephone Subsidies Become Transparent

"In Who Pays for Universal Service? Robert W. Crandall and Leonard Waverman analyze the demand for residential telephone service, calling patterns, and telephone expenditures across a variety of developed countries, with detailed data for the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom. Using these data, they have developed an estimate of the social cost of universal service policies for the United States, while considering this country's requirements in an international perspective."--BOOK JACKET.
