In recognition of the fundamental
importance of an appropriate regulatory environment to
accelerate connectivity, and access to information services,
this handbook provides a practical reference source, on the
methods used to regulate the telecommunications sector
around the world, emphasizing best practices. The focus is
on practices that promote the efficient supply of
telecommunications services in a competitive marketplace. It
offers a useful compilation of descriptions, and analyses of
regulatory practices, and approaches applied in a wide range
of countries. The handbook outlines the various factors that
motivated the liberalization of telecommunications markets,
i.e., increased growth, and fast innovations for better
services; the need to expand and upgrade telecommunications
networks with new services; growth of the Internet; of
mobile and other wireless services; and, of international
trade in telecommunications services. These factors
compelled regulatory objectives to foster competitive
markets to promote efficient supply of telecommunications,
and quality at affordable prices. To this end, licensing
telecommunications services, interconnection, price
regulation, competition policy, and universal service are
presented to form the framework for telecommunications regulation. |
