Why did management at the Williams Companies come over to ADR?
Article Abstract:
The Williams Companies have been using alternative dispute resolution (ADR) techniques to better manage their businesses and control the costs of disputes that could lead to litigation. Williams Companies state that ADR provides them more control as a client; is faster and cheaper; more flexible, satisfying, and predictable; and less intrusive and antagonistic than litigating disputes would be. ADR proceedings are confidential and the form of proceeding can be decided upon before disputes arise.

Rate regulation: cable TV is ready for ADR
Article Abstract:
ADR can be used to set cable television rates and reduce the administrative burden on subscribers, the industry and regulatory agencies as called for in the 1992 cable act. An agreement between the franchising authority and the cable operator to use ADR instead of administrative channels of rate-setting must be acquired before ADR is an option. The FCC needs to be more explicit in its endorsement of ADR. Types of ADR used in rate-setting and the limits and advantages of ADR are discussed.
