Seldom has a single piece of legislation so completely changed the regulatory and economic structure of an entire industry. The 1996 Telecommunications Act requires the Federal Communications Commission to hold rulemaking proceedings and issue new regulations in more than 70 distinct areas. The historic law is having a real and lasting impact on how the telecommunications industry, and its state and federal regulators, will do business in the future.

- The complete Communications Act of 1934 as amended with the 1996 Act amendments fully integrated
- The full text of the Congressional Conference Report (including a stand-alone final version of the Act)
- The full text of the Senate Report
- The full text of the House Report
- Exclusive, in-depth analysis of the Act’s provisions prepared by Pike & Fischer’s lawyer-editors
- A detailed listing of the FCC deadlines required by the Act
