The UK duopoly review: Status and issues

Roger Pye

Telecommunications Policy, 1990, vol. 14, issue 2, 99-104

Abstract: This year Oftel will begin a review of the British Telecom-Mercury duopoly which dominates the UK telecommunications market. The author of this Comment offers items for the agenda, and then reviews a monograph on the role of competition in UK telecommunications policy by Michael Beesley and Bruce Laidlaw. He finds that they explain concisely how the duopoly arose and are helpful in identifying areas for discussion, but are somewhat too ambitious in trying to define at this stage what action must be taken.
