The case against competing infrastructures

Jm Harper

Telecommunications Policy, vol. 19, issue 4, 285-298

Abstract: The EU Council of Ministers is considering proposals to liberalize telecommunications infrastructure. This article shows that there is no evidence that infrastructure competition in the UK has contributed to improvement in BT's performance. The author argues that the public wants and deserves choice of services and prices at all levels of telecommunications now. It should not have to wait 10 or 20 years while competitors to the old monopolies laboriously construct networks and wrestle with funding problems.
