Isi artikel

Digital technology is reshaping the media and telecommunications industries. Now we can convert all kinds of information into digital bits and deliver them through the same pipe. This is an earthquake rocking traditional publishers like Encyclopaedia Britannica, media moguls like Time Warner, and telecom giants like Bell Atlantic. Barriers to entry are falling everywhere. Hillis predicts a battle in the next decade, as the incumbents try to hold on to their traditional advantages. Since Congress is easier to fool than the marketplace, Hillis maintains, much of that battle will be fought over regulations. Reed Hundt's engaging You Say You Want a Revolution provides useful background to this battle. As chairman of the FCC from 1993 to 1997, Hundt was at the forefront of efforts to break down the barriers between the different delivery media. Less satisfying to Hillis is George Gilder's large think piece, Telecosm, in which Gilder looks at the emerging technology and business of information delivery. Lyrical, but not always accurate, the book should be read more for its gestalt than for its details. Gilder and Hundt may disagree on how much to deregulate, but they agree that deregulation is desirable in the long run. Once the marketplace is open, Hillis predicts, the industries will split along functional lines : technology companies will deliver the bits and creative specialists will provide content and services.
