摘要：	Last year, both the U.S. and Mexico passed legislation to deregulate their telecommunications industries. These regulatory changes will affect many of the technologies that form the foundation of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), and will also change the nature of the market for telecommunications services and equipment. This study explores in a non-technical fashion the major provisions of each Telecommunications Act and how deregulation may effect the research and eventual deployment of ITS at the national and state level. This study also specifically addresses how deployment of ITS in the U.S.-Mexico border region may be affected by the interaction of two simultaneously changing telecommunications markets. The 1996 Telecommunications Act dramatically changed the nature of the competitive relationships between telecommunications service and equipment providers, as well as the nature of the market in general. These changes will affect the development and use of individual telecommunications technologies, and will also affect the nature of public-private partnerships for the research, development, and deployment of ITS. Long distance and local telephone service providers can now compete in each others' markets, resulting in a situation in which service providers are in competition to capture the biggest market area and market share. This has resulted in service "bundling" huge mergers, and important questions regarding the use and valuation of right-of-way. Right-of-way along state highways has become a valuable resource. Many state DOTs, by entering into "shared resource" projects with private sector telecommunications providers, are trying to leverage this resource in an attempt to gain additional capacity for state owned networks. Whether to lease or own this network, who to choose for a partner, and how to structure the partnership, are crucial issues for the state when considering such partnerships. Answers to these questions often depend on how much of the state network is (or will be) devoted to ITS. Complex, high bandwidth ITS applications are expensive to engineer and maintain, particularly over the long term. The push toward industrial privatization in Mexico has now reached the telecommunications sector. Mexico's 1995 telecommunications legislation concentrated on privatizing Telmex and introducing competition to the long distance market. Currently, there are three major long distance service competitors to Telmex (which is partnered with SBC). Each of these competitive entities includes a major U.S. based service provider - AT&T/GTE, MCI and Bell Atlantic. The involvement of these firms may open the door for the eventual deployment of advanced telecommunications bases600
