Regulation and Entry into Telecommunications Markets

by Paul de Bijl, Martin Peitz

Overview

This book examines competition and regulation in the liberalized telecommunications markets. It fills the gap between the existing economic literature on competition and the real-life application of theory to policy. Paul de Bijl and Martin Peitz analyze a broad range of market constellations; in particular, the hot topic of access price regulation in asymmetric markets. The study is a valuable resource for academics, regulators and telecommunications professionals. It is accompanied by extensive simulation programs.
