Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book investigates the political, technological, and economic factors that influenced the implementation of telephone service in Chicago in the early 1990s. By delving into the records of council meetings and the investigations of special commissions, the author pieces together a detailed account of the competing interests involved in negotiations. The book reveals how technological advancements at the time, such as the shift from grounded circuits to metallic circuits, the development of automatic switchboards, and the increasing demand for telephone service fueled the debate between local government, the incumbent telephone company, and potential competitors. The author underscores how the resulting ordinance laid the groundwork for the expansion and regulation of telephone service in Chicago for decades to come, charting the evolution of a vital technology.
