Abstract: During the periods of intensifying movements of commodities and capital, infrastructure sectors transform. Telecommunications networks became more significant as a result of the increase in demand due to intensification of financial transactions in the 1970s. Network has a use value rooted in its crucial role in channeling financial operations and an exchange value as a target for profitable capitalist investment. State policies transformed as a response to the changing use and exchange values of these networks. I propose an historical and comparative perspective for analyzing government policies toward infrastructure networks. This framework has two theoretical bases. First is the transition sociology of critical political economy. Second is the historical sociology of World Systems Perspective. I employ these two perspectives to analyze determination of use and exchange values of telecommunications networks and prioritizations of telecommunications policies in different periods in core-periphery countries and Turkey.
