The Statistics of Communications Common Carriers, issued annually since 1939, is the reference work widely used by academics, consultants, and other researchers in the field of telecommunications. Annual reports from carriers arrive at different times throughout the year. Because the information from the domestic telecommunications carriers arrives earlier, the Commission has prepared that segment of the publication first. The tables being released today are labeled "preliminary" because some corrections and additions are still being received. The report is available in the FCC's Reference Information Center, Courtyard Level, 445 12th Street &6w , &6w  S.W., Washington DC 20554. Copies may be purchased by calling International Transcription Services, Inc., (ITS) at (202) 8573800. The report can also be downloaded [file name: 98PSOCC.ZIP or  c<98SOCC.PDF] from the FCCState Link internet site at #&K PE3Q SH&P#http://www.fcc.gov/ccb/stats# ` PE3Q;yP# on the World Wide Web.
