A concurrent resolution confirming that it is the responsibility and the desire of Congress to develop a comprehensive telecommunications policy, which includes determining the extent of participation of regional Bell holding companies in providing advanced telecommunications services and equipment.

Summary

Declares that the Congress should: (1) determine whether, and to what extent, regional Bell holding companies should be permitted to compete with other companies to provide information services, conduct research, and design, develop, and market software and telecommunications equipment; (2) determine, if it allows Bell holding companies to engage in such activities, the statutory safeguards to prevent cross subsidies and to ensure that other anti-competitive conduct will not harm customers or unfairly infringe upon competition; and (3) review the Federal structure for the administration of telecommunications policy with the intention of improving the capacity of the United States to effectively compete in the global information and high technology marketplace.
