Captive Audience: The Telecom Industry and Monopoly Power in the New Gilded Age

Susan Crawford (Cardozo Law School). Captive Audience (Yale University Press, 2013).

"Crawford’s book is the most important volume to be released in the last few years that describes the sad — some might say embarrassing – state of the U.S. telecommunications market. Reasonable people can and do disagree about policy solutions, but the facts are not in dispute. [A] vivid and eye-opening description of what ails America’s cable and telecom market, … it should be required reading for anyone interested in tech policy."
