The proceduralization of telecommunications law

Telecommunications Policy, 1998, vol. 22, issue 3, 243-254

Abstract: The trend towards ever more technical regulatory regimes associated with the reform of telecommunicaitons provision and regulation in the industrialised countries appears to be reversing itself, as changes across a number of jurisdictions occur which may be loosely characterized as a process of proceduralization. These changes have three facets: a shift towards more general regulatory norms; greater emphasis on procedural, as opposed to substantive, regulatory rules; and greater reliance on regulatory institutions of a general rather than sector-specific character. Explanations are offered not simply by reference to the external pressures, but also the adapation of the legal system itself.
