Where are we going? Technologies, markets and long-range public policy issues in European communications

We examine technological changes likely to be seen in electronic communications markets (wire-based and wireless) in Europe over the next ten years, and their potential effects on competition. We find these prospective changes to be broadly positive. Public policy and regulation can promote this positive outcome by the pursuit of a strategy of regulatory disengagement. Possible institutional reforms to achieve this goal are considered. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

The future of European Communications regulation: an assessment of the European Commissin's 1999 communications review

Every year the Institute of Economic Affairs and the London Business School publish a volume of essays about Britains system of utility regulation, with additional discussion of regulation in other countries. The book is a must for those interested in regulation, because it is an up-to-date review of the major issues in the field and includes the views of the sector regulators and the general competition authorities.
