  <abstract>Claims that telecommunications in the modern global economy offer a new dawn of economic opportunity for developing countries. Stresses the need to harness market forces to suit national interests.  Warns that liberalization, far from heralding a new era of cheaper, more accessible communications, could foreshadow the emergence of a handful of monolithic, unaccountable, multi-sectoral communications transnational Big Brothers who will control the bulk of communications traffic from telecoms to television, and a shift in resources from the poor to the rich.</abstract>
