TELECOMMUNICATIONS. Deregulation has hatched a gaggle of new players in this industry, once the undisputed domain of A T & T. More than 100 companies now compete with A T & T's Western Electric in manufacturing a vast new array of telephones, from the basic black model to designer styles and gimmicks like the Pac-Man special.
