If UNE-P were no longer available, what would be the
effect on competition for telecommunications to
residential customers? This paper addresses that
question in the context of the development of
competition in the telecommunications industry since the
passage of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 (“Telecom
Act” or “the Act”). It provides a perspective on the
growth in competitive services, the structure of the
industry today and the prospects for growth in
competition going forward. pdf. 2004
