| Summary: | pt. 1. Regulation versus investment: the balance between static and dynamic efficiencies and the main issues of regulatory policy -- pt. 2. Technology convergence and the future role of competition and regulation -- pt. 3. Access regulation and performance in the deployment of NGNs: international experiences -- pt. 4. Structural separation and regulation of the telecommunications industry -- pt. 5. Interdependent innovations and regulatory policies: mobile network deployment and mobile internet developments After decades of liberalization of the telecommunications industry around the world and technological convergence that allows for increasing competition, sector-specific regulation of telecommunications has been on the decline. As a result, the telecommunications industry stands in the middle of a debate that calls for either a total deregulation of access to broadband infrastructures or a separation of infrastructure from service delivery. This book proposes new approaches to dealing with the current and future issues of regulation of telecommunication markets on both a regional and a global scale |
