INFORMATION POLICY NOTE
February 17, 1996 - ISDN pricing Workshop

          February 28, 1993 Workshop on ISDN Pricing Controveries


WHAT:          A workshop on controversies over ISDN pricing. 
               Why is residential ISDN priced so high?  What are
               the public policy issues for state regulators of
               ISDN tariffs?  What does it cost a local exchange
               telephone company to provide residential ISDN?
               What types of services can be offered over a
               residential ISDN platform?  Will ISDN be an "open
               platform" for a new generation of mass market
               information services?  What are the alternatives?
