I remember one particular sci-fi story (I don't remember right now if it was by him though). In it they have booth to booth teleporters that can take you virtually anywhere on the planet that's been hooked up.

One of the consequences of the technology is that immediately spectator value goes off the chart. As soon as people hear about something interesting happening anywhere then there is an an influx of a few million people playing spectator, which as you can imagine, has some consequences.

They were published in anthologies of his short stories and articles. EDIT: I believe it's in the anthology All the Myriad Ways.
