Abstract: The approach to liberalisation of European telecommunications markets followed what has become known as the “Ladder of Investment” (LoI). Under this model, regulation is designed to enable entrants to make progressively greater investments in their own networks, whilst decreasing their dependence on the network of the incumbent fixed operator. The ultimate goal of the LoI approach is to achieve, where feasible, inter-platform competition.
