Washington, D.C. - Each year since 1939, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has published the Statistics of Communications Common Carriers, a reference work widely used by academics, consultants, and other researchers in the field of telecommunications. This report includes a wealth of data on telecommunications costs, revenues, prices, and usage. In order to expedite release of the information, the FCC is making all of the data available electronically at this time, well before the report's formal publication in December 2002. A second notice will be issued when printed versions can be purchased from the U.S. Government Printing Office.The 227-page volume is divided into the following five sections:
