US WEST: INFORMATION AGE EXPANDS COMPETITION ( - fnf In past advertorials, I have written about various issues Xj impacting U S WEST and our customers. Today, I'm writing " about, one of the most significant changes in our industry since s' the break-up of the Bell System. . .-,; ' 4-jJ, The era of the "Ma Bell" basic telephone service mo- TI . nopoly is all but gone. In its place is the quickly-evolvin" infor- Gary Harrison F. J , , i n , - , mation age in which many players will compete tor customers. Community Affairs Manager j tr j r The new age includes traditional voice communications and adds information or data and entertainment through video -all possible over your telephone line. While competition isn't new to us, it has mainly been in the areas of in-state long distance and customer equipment which could duplicate some of our optional services such as Speed Calling. As technologies advance and converge, they enable other businesses to enter the local telephone service market. Access providers, cable television and personal communications services will soon compete with us for your local voice, data and or video business. These new players have already begun to position themselves to serve customers. Electronic Lightwave Inc. is laying fiber-optic cable in downtown Salt Lake City to provide sophisticated local telecommunications services. TCI is replacing its backbone coaxial cable with fiber-optics. And AT&T, in conjunction with McCaw Cellular, is developing wireless communications services. As technologies, services and providers evolve, it becomes increasingly more important that traditional regulation of the industry change as well. In a monopolistic environment, regulation took the place of competition. As competition continues to grow, the laws and policies regulating the industry should be adjusted to reflect a competitive environment. The information age will offer you many choices of services and providers. We want to be one of the major players in this new era and believe that a modern regulatory environment will create a level playing field for all. In a future advertorial, I will be discussing the changes in federal and state laws that we believe are necessary in a competitive environment. (Advertisement paid for by U S WEST stockholders.)
