Telecommunications Act of 1996
Signed by President Clinton in February 1996, the Telecommunications Act of 1996 provided major changes in laws affecting cable TV, telecommunications, and the Internet. The law's main purpose was to stimulate competition in telecommunication services. The law specifies:

  • How local telephone carriers can compete.
  • How and under what circumstances local exchange carriers can provide long-distance services.
  • The deregulation of cable TV rates.
