520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC.
Summary, etc. Asserts that the dynamics of global communications display five distinct features viz: (1) international communications is the fastest growing segment of the total communication industry; (2) global traffic appears to reflect the same type of usage concentration that exists in domestic long-distance traffic; (3) global telecommunications will have a significant impact on the growth rates of both industrialized and developing nations; (4) the questions of discrimination and cross-subsidization between different classes of users, which existed for many years in the US, will now be extended to overseas markets; and, (5) there remains the question of what criteria should be used to evaluate a global infrastructure. Examines factors affecting the viability of competition in global communications markets, and discusses the comparative net advantages of AT&T, MCI and Sprint, the regional Bell holding companies, and other large national carriers.
