Government. The impetus of these changes is expected to continue, and at a
much faster pace.

services, higher levels of consumer satisfaction with affordable prices and
improved quality of services achieving or not. Wireless telephony and the
Internet are expected to be the preferred means of communication as
convergence of telecommunications, broadcasting, and information
technology progresses.

interests and to set the standards of quality of service. The rapid
