All Connected: Universal Service in Telecommunications (Ethics in Public Life series)

Does everyone stand to benefit from the changes taking place in telecommunications? How should these changes be controlled and directed to achieve the best possible results for both society and the individual? This important book is about the ethical aspects of telecommunications policy.

All Connected concentrates on the meaning of universal service in telecommunications, and the moral underpinnings of arguments for universal service obligations being imposed on telecommunications carriers. The book is timely now that, in Australia, the whole telecommunications industry is being deregulated and far-reaching technological and economic changes are about to occur.
