The Telecommunications Act of 1996 forced local telephone companies to share their lines with the competition. The Act was a major shift in policy change throughout the United States. BBG Communications notes that the Act is divided into seven different Titles.
Title 1 – Telecommunications Service
Title 2 – Broadcast Services
Title 3 – Cable Services
Title 4 – Regulatory Reform
Title 5 – Obscenity and Violence
Title 6 – Effect on Other Laws
Title 7 – Miscellaneous Provisions
If you would like more information on the Act, BBG Communications suggests visiting the Federal Communications Commissions (FCC) website.
