phenomenal impacts to modern society. Our government, in some respects, has bottlenecked the potential of these impacts. One bottleneck of particular concern is that constructed in response to
the Frequency Spectrum Scarcity Theory, a theory that insists that the frequency spectrum upon which many aspects of modern technology depend is limited and must be heavily regulated. The
gain in computers which are multifunction programmable and away from the older traditional telephone systems is an important aspect of the technological revolution which is being adversely impacted by unnecessary
and inappropriate governmental regulation of the frequency spectrum (Economides, 1998). Enhanced competition among wireless operators due to the reallocation of the magnetic spectrum, connection of networks making them compatible
and operable with other networks and standardizing of operational procedures, and "network externalities and critical mass", has been particularly hampered (Economides, 1998). Few new firms have been able to
enter the market due to the oligopolies which are already n existence (McChesney, 1996). While the bigger and more profitable firms will continue to grow and profit the smaller
firms will continue to be edged out of the market partially because of government policies that have been constructed around the Frequency Spectrum Scarcity Theory.
The Telecommunications Act of 1996 is one negative reflection of the Frequency Spectrum Scarcity Theory. That Act was designed to restructure the telecommunications of the United States
(Economides, 1998). The Act provides a method and assists users in obtaining the services of a highly advanced technology. The assistance includes promotion of competition among all providers
to give state of the art service to the consumers. The Act does not provide, however, for immediate or complete deregulation (Economides, 1998). The present structure of the
