NOTAS: | "The emphasis of telecoms regulation is changing as markets move from liberalisation to competition. This will have a big impact on the competitive environment over the coming years, and especially for wholesale players, some of whom will experience a lifting of regulation while others are subjected to regulatory scrutiny for the first time. This report looks at the likely trends in telecoms regulation over the next few years. It identifies the main shifts and new directions in regulation which are likely to take place, and identifies the impact on the wholesale telecoms market. Key issues examined are the move from liberalisation to competition, the lifting of regulation in certain areas, increasing regulation of mobile operators and the new EU regulatory framework." |
