Abstract

The telecommunications industry in Israel has changed significantly in recent years. This paper examines key issues that will arise in Israel as a result of these major changes and argues that the major changes in the telecommunications industry require significant changes in the regulatory structure. The paper first provides background material on the current structure in the various segments of the telecommunications industry in Israel. The paper then discusses the current regulatory environment and makes recommendations regarding the future regulatory structure in Israel and the scope for regulation
