Business & Government

The regulations of government also impact consumers as well as businesses. For example, the Supreme Court is hearing a case that is expected to have an impact on the price consumers pay for local TV and high-speed Internet connections. Regional Bell companies charge new, small companies to lease their equipment. Critics say prices have crippled competition, but Bell insists any less cost will destroy the company. In part this situation has arisen due to the Telecommunications Act of 1996 “an attempt to begin deregulating the industry and to make service and prices more competitive” (Labaton (1/23), 1). The recent attempts to prevent Napster from permitting music to be downloaded for free on its Web site is another case of the enormous impact government regulation has on business.
