Focusing on the evolution of the telecommunications industry, this study explores the convergence of previously distinct communication sectors into a hypercommunications structure influencing the global economy. The author examines technological innovation, entrepreneurship, and public policy from the telegraph's invention to the web's emergence, highlighting key developments in engineering and legislation. Additionally, the internal policies of major firms like AT&T are analyzed, along with a cautious assessment of future implications for public life.
