Launching the Telecommunications Revolution: The Story of the Office of Telecommunications Policy

This 40th Nixon Legacy Forum will explore the little-known and less-appreciated White House Office of Telecommunications Policy, created by Reorganization Plan Number One in 1970, in eliminating regulation and introducing market-based opportunities to the American telecommunications industry in the 1970s-- paving the way for satellite and cable television.
