Il mercato delle telecomunicazioni. Dal monopolio
alla liberalizzazione negli Stati Uniti e nella Unione Europea
The Telecommunications Market:
Monopoly and Liberalisation in the United States and the European
Union
2003, pp. 344
The volume
discusses the effects of liberalisation of the telecommunications
market in main industrialised countries: the United States
and the European Union. The authors adopt an economic-institutional
approach and supply an up-to-date description of the features
of various telecommunications markets and their evolution
after the downfall of previous monopolies. They also critically
analyse the regulatory policies adopted in different countries.
The first part of the book focuses on the historical development
of markets and the economic impact of regulatory policies.
The second part addresses specific issues pertaining to telecommunications
regulation: control of user tariffs, universal service and
its finance, interconnection, local competition, "unbundling",
and investment in wide-band in technologies. A chapter is
also devoted to the regulation of mobile telephone services.
