Abstract
Description
This folder contains remarks by Senator Inouye before the Coalition for Competitive Telecommunications and the Interconnectivity Forum. He shares his thoughts on the current state of telecommunications reform and its impact on the State of Hawai'i. He strongly stresses the importance of competition in the market with technological advances since most telecommunications users have little choice in selecting their local telephone or cable company. He also points out that the laws and regulations governing the telecommunications industry have restricted the development of competition and the capacity of communications networks. He says that S.1822 goes beyond ensuring the availability of basic telephone service. The bill directs the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and states to encourage the development of new technologies to all Americans. He also mentions S. 2195, legislation to enhance public access to all telecommunications facilities that use the public right-of-way. He explains that S. 2195 directs the FCC to determine the amount of capacity and to establish guidelines for allocating the capacity. He suggests these bills be legalized this year.
