Albanian telecommunication reform: The road less travelled

Telecommunications Policy, 1998, vol. 22, issue 6, 519-539

Abstract: Albania has an average of only 1.4 telephone lines per 100 people. Yet telecommunications public policy reform is now increasingly viewed by the Albanian policy community as central to the country's future economic and political ambitions. This paper aims to explain how this precarious state of affairs arose in Albania, and, using comparisons with some of its former allies (China, Russia and other Central and Eastern Europe countries), suggest what possible measures of telecommunication policy reform are now necessary to take account of the country's unique cultural, economic and geographical conditions.
