The UK telecommunications monopoly : An independent view

Author

Listed:
  • Lamond, Frederic E.

Abstract

The author assesses how much of the UK Post Office monopoly is 'natural', and how much is purely statutory and could be replaced by conditions of free and open competition. He also considers the historical reasons behind the PO's purely statutory monopolies, and the extent to which they remain desirable from the point of view of the public interest at a time of rapid technological change. Finally, he examines the implications for the health of the European computer, telecommunications and electronic industries of the growing divergence between European leased communications line costs and costs in North America.
