Foreign Investment In American Telecommunications
(J. Gregory Sidak)
Restrictions on foreign investment in U.S. telecommunications firms have harmed the interests of American consumers and investors, argues J. Gregory Sidak in Foreign Investment in American Telecommunications. The author explains why those restrictions, originally intended to protect America from the perils of wireless telegraphy by foreign agents, should be repealed.
Basing his analysis on legislative history, statutory and constitutional interpretation, and finance and trade theory, Mr. Sidak shows that the restrictions no longer serve their national security purpose (if they ever did). Instead they deny American consumers lower prices and more robust innovation, hamper access of American investors to foreign telecommunications markets, and unconstitutionally impinge on freedom of speech. Sidak's analysis encompasses the Telecommunications Act of 1996, global mergers such as British Telecom-MCI, and the 1997 World Trade Organization agreement to liberalize trade in telecommunications services.
