Federal Communications Commission

“ The exercise of our regulatory authority under this mandate is analyzed in the context of rapid technological and market developments affecting communications and data processing services, the ever-increasing reliance upon common carrier transmission facilities in the movement of all kinds of information, and the need to tailor communications-related services to individual user requirements. ”

“ We believe the time has come to address these matters in a manner which gives clear direction to the marketplace, but without restricting the types of services that may be offered to consumers. We will thus clearly set forth those offerings, resulting from market applications of computer processing technology, that will not be regulated by this Commission. ”
