Continentalizing Canadian Telecommunications details the complex relationships between the various corporate and government interests, shows how the changes they brought about have locked Canada's telecommunications system into the orbit of the US system, and discusses the implications this has for Canadians. 606 $aTelecommunication policy$zCanada 606 $aTelecommunication$zCanada 615 0$aTelecommunication policy 615 0$aTelecommunication 676 $a384/.0971 700 $aRideout$b Vanda$f1948-$01545797 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910782080203321 996 $aContinentalizing Canadian telecommunications$93800893 997 $aUNINA
