Monitoring telecommunications deregulation through international benchmarking

Abstract

As telecommunications markets in an increasing number of countries are deregulated to allow competition, there is increasing interest in information about whether the promised benefits of competition are in fact materialising. This paper suggests a framework for monitoring the effects of deregulation in a particular country through the use of international 'best practice' benchmarking. Such international benchmarking seems particularly appropriate in these times of increasing telecommunications globalisation. The Australian telecommunications industry is used as a case study to illustrate the application of the monitoring procedure. Rather than applying seemingly esoteric economic criteria, the effects of deregulation are appraised under the headings of several frequently asked questions about the telecommunications industry.
