This study explores the potential consequences of recent decisions by the Federal Communications Commission to permit local telephone companies to compete with cable television operators and other video suppliers in providing video service. The goal of the study is to provide inputs useful to policymakers in their continuing deliberations about the rules under which telephone companies should be permitted to participate in a video marketplace characterized by striking technological advances, rapidly evolving market structures, and changing social needs. The report focuses on the likely consequences of the FCC decision and the recommendation that local exchange carriers (LECs) be permitted to go beyond provision of video dial tone. It is especially concerned with the prospects for competition with cable operators, the role for existing or new regulatory safeguards, and issues of public policy. To explore the potential for competition, the study describes four scenarios involving a hypothetical LEC and a hypothetical cable company operating in the LEC's territory. The scenarios, set later in this decade and into the next century, describe how the two entities behave in response to alternative regulatory, economic, and technological conditions.

In 1984, Congress simultaneously eliminated state-local regulation of cable television rates and banned telephone companies from offering cable service in their own franchise areas. Five years later, the General Accounting Office discovered that basic cable rates had risen more than four times as rapidly as the overall consumer price level since rate deregulation. As a result, Congress began to move to reimpose cable rate regulation once again, finally succeeding (over President Bush's veto) in 1992. In this book, Robert Crandall and Harold Furchtgott-Roth examine the case of reregulating cable television and find that viewers gained far more than they lost during the brief deregulatory era because cable services expanded so rapidly in the deregulated environment. Moreover, they show that new technologies, such as direct-broadcast satellites, are likely to provide considerable market discipline for cable operators in the next few years, weakening any case for rate regulation. Given regulation's history of impeding innovation, they conclude that economic welfare is more likely to be enhanced by policies aimed at encouraging new entry into video services than by rate regulation.
