Independence and the regulatory state—Telecommunications in Scotland and the rest of the United Kingdom

Ewan Sutherland

Telecommunications Policy, 2013, vol. 37, issue 11, 1046-1059

Abstract: In the autumn of 2014 the residents of Scotland, but not other parts of the UK, will vote on whether to leave the UK and to become a separate state, with a positive vote leading to an independent parliament expected to be elected in 2016. It would remain within the EU and in compliance with its acquis communitaire. This paper identifies issues that would have to be addressed in preparing for and creating a new system of governance for telecommunications markets on that tight timescale.
