History

Historical Context

The Telecommunications Act of 1996 marked a significant shift in U.S. telecom policy by deregulating the industry, aiming to enhance competition. This act followed a push for deregulation in the 1980s and the breakup of AT&T in 1984. Today, T-Mobile's growth, with 962,000 new postpaid customers, illustrates the act's lasting impact on market dynamics and consumer choices in telecommunications.
