Can local telecommunications be self-policing?: A proposed discovery procedure

John Haring

Telecommunications Policy, 1995, vol. 19, issue 2, 91-104

Abstract: To discover whether markets for local telecommunication services can be competitively self-policing, this paper advocates a comprehensive approach to policy making as opposed to a more piecemeal approach. The problem with a piecemeal approach is that the merits of particular policies are difficult to assess without reference to the total program in which they are embedded. What seems reasonable when considered along with other complementary policies may be unreasonable if undertaken in a different context. We describe the necessary conditions for an illuminating experiment that will both insure a fair test of competition's viability and afford adequate protections to the consuming public.
