TELECOM POLICY AT THE STATE/LOCAL LEVEL

Some local governments are anxious to prevent too much federal control 
over the development of the information superhighway. Sharon Nelson, 
the chair of Washington State's utilities commission, says: "We'd hate 
to have the feds tell us how to do it differently after we were done. 
We think it's appropriate to let a lot of markets develop here and not 
try to have government put in its heavy hand."  Seattle, Washington, 
will be a testing ground this week for a TCI/Microsoft experiment in 
interactive television. (Washington Times 1/17/95 B10)
