Impact of deregulation on point-to-point demand in the USA

Sanford Berg and Patricia L. Pacey

Telecommunications Policy, 1982, vol. 6, issue 4, 308-314

Abstract: The authors describe a methodology designed to evaluate the impact of deregulation on point-to-point demand in the USA. They briefly review the rationale for regulation and the likely impacts of deregulation. After summarizing previous approaches to the demand for long-distance calls, they present preliminary results of a new study of the demand for toll messages. They conclude that the approach provides a first step towards determining the impact of new (competitive) services on existing point-to-point suppliers.
