Notes:

In 1996 we find a very competitive communications world. Cable companies are attempting to supply telephony and telephony suppliers are attempting to supply television. Long Distance Carriers are attempting to supply local telephony and Local Exchange Companies are attempting to supply long-distance service.

None of the industries have moved to supply Internet service.
