"Legal and political forces are among the many things that shape the field of telecommunications. My teaching and research focuses on telecommunications laws and policies, on the values and ethical principles embodied in those laws and policies, and on the political processes that produce them. This is a very dynamic area of the field as laws and policies adapt to the new National Information Infrastructure -- or the information superhighway."
