Regulation for next-generation technologies and markets

Abstract

Intense technological dynamics is perturbing the classical liberalisation course of fixed telephony markets followed in most national policies. Major shifts in the distribution of production costs of regulated firms are induced by modern microelectronics, photonics, and fixed and mobile internet platforms, creating new networked service markets adjacent to the regulated telephone activities. The confluence of regulated and unregulated markets poses dilemmas in deciding on issues of open access to the new opportunities for competitive providers and/or consumers. This contribution briefly discusses the general regulatory issues and two specific cases, namely, fixed-mobile service integration and licensing of third-generation mobile networks.
