Competition in the telecommunications infrastructure: Implications for the peripheral regions and small countries in Europe

Paschal Preston

Telecommunications Policy, vol. 19, issue 4, 253-271

Abstract: Recent technological, economic and policy shifts have placed the issues surrounding future communications infrastructure development and competition at the centre of European debates in the mid-1990s. This article examines how realistic, viable or universal is the vision of competing, alternative telecommunications infrastructures and facilities, especially in the case of the smaller and less developed economies/regions. This article critically assesses the challenges posed by, and implications of, competition in the telecommunications infrastructures in the less favoured regions and smaller economies of Europe.
