Abstract

This report first provides a brief background on the development of the Turkish telecommunications sector under state ownership and failed attempts to privatise the fixed-line provider in 1980s and 1990s. Based on this background and the experience of other countries, the paper proposes steps to successfully conclude the privatisation, liberalisation and regulation process of the sector.
