The World Bank's new pragmatism: Telecommunications reform in Asia

Jonathan Solomon

Telecommunications Policy, 1994, vol. 18, issue 9, 675-678

Abstract: The World Bank's Discussion Paper on Telecommunications Sector Reform in Asia is intended as 'a policy almanac for those countries still debating the best way to meet the unsatisfied demand for telecommunications service'. This article reviews and comments on the paper, which marks a major shift in World Bank thinking. The Discussion Paper recommends managing infrastructure like a business, and not a bureaucracy, and to introduce competition wherever feasible. With the World Bank going decisively one way, where does this leave the ITU?
