Communications-related Headlines is a free online news summary service provided by the Benton Foundation (http://www.benton.org). Posted Monday through Friday, this service provides updates on important industry developments, policy issues, and other related news events. While the summaries are factually accurate, their often informal tone does not always represent the tone of the original articles. Headlines are compiled by Kevin Taglang (headlines@benton.org) -- we welcome your comments.
