| description |
This paper presents the case that
opening international voice communication to competition is
key to reform the telecommunications sector, is sustainable
in developing countries, and results in major gains to
consumers, businesses, and to the economy. Over the last 20
years full competition became a dominant attribute in
virtually all high-income countries and in selected
developing countries. Three forces were behind competition:
globalization, technological change, and the emergence of
international telecommunications as an enabler for
integration and trade. |
