Competition and telecommunications infrastructure in Ireland: A regulatory view

Sean MacMahon

Telecommunications Policy, vol. 19, issue 4, 299-305

Abstract: Against the background of EU proposals for liberalization of telecommunications infrastructure, this paper considers the impact of liberalization on Ireland and other peripheral and small economies. Ireland is characterized as on the periphery, with a small open economy and rural nature, with a big, liberalized neighbour -- the UK. This makes Telecom Eireann particularly vulnerable to competition, but there is no reason why effective and appropriate regulation should not allow a smooth transition to a competitive market.
