Transnational Communications: Wiring the Third World

This book is a critical analysis of telematics industries in the Philippines, Caribbean, sub-Saharan Africa, Mexico, Malaysia, Brazil, India and Singapore. The study contrasts with most previous studies of the 'information society' - which focus on the US, Japan and the EEC. Noted scholars make contributions that fill a gap in the literature on communications policy and communications development, in particular national and international political-economic and policy aspects. Topics such as satellites, television, computer systems and links with international communications are discussed as well as specific policy issues which have arisen in opposition to the First World's continuing media and data monopolies.Sussman, Gerald is the author of 'Transnational Communications: Wiring the Third World', published 1991 under ISBN 9780803937666 and ISBN 0803937660.
