The People's Network: The Political Economy of the Telephone in the Gilded Age - American Business, Politics, and Society
Robert MacDougall
The People's Network reconstructs the story of U. S. and Canadian independent telephone companies which challenged the Bell System's market domination in the twentieth century, linking the fight to control telecommunications to dueling political philosophies: regional versus national identity, local versus centralized power.
