Economic theory is used to provide answers to these questions. Addresses emerging antitrust issues in software and Internet markets; the use and appropriateness of market mechanisms to allocate radio-frequency spectrum in the public airwaves; price and non-price mechanisms to address congestion in data networks; and unique problems relating to the introduction of competition into the long distance market, specialized niche markets, and the local exchange market.
