Abstract: In this paper, we analyze the presence of a mobile phone market regulator,especially when it is independent of the political powers and the pressure exerted by the existing operators. Our objective is to study the nature of relationship between the independence indicator and the three reform indicators regarding the competition, privatization and the regulation and their impact on the performance on the field of mobile phones. Therefore, our index will be built and integrated into a model with three regressions. We found a strong positive correlation between regulation and the two performance indicators. This correlation is quite remarkable especially when done estimate both competition and privatization with the regulation.
