Part of a series on policies associated with industry convergence,
Abort, Retry, Fail, provides a concise statement of why a new
framework is needed for communications policies. This paper shows
the impact of competition on residential prices and on rural and urban
prices. Abort, Retry, Fail summarizes the flow of payments
between local and long distance telephone companies. Data in this
paper is from an early version of a broadband deployment model,
