| Title: | | Regulating network-based industries : the case of telecommunications  |
| Authors: | | Klodt, Henning |
| Issue Date: | | 1996 |
| Series/Report no.: | | Kiel Working Papers 766 |
| Abstract: | | A mandatory open-network-provision (ONP) by dominant firms is the appropriate government regulation in the presence of network externalities. For basic telephone services and online services, a permanent ONP regulation seems indispensable, whereas telecommunication networks only require transitional ONP regulation as long as public or privatized PTTs dispose of a dominant market position. Regulatory institutions tend to prefer either cost-plus or price-cap contracts for defining appropriate price-ceilings for network-access under ONP regulation. In order to avoid the specific disadvantages of both, governments should better apply incentive contract schemes which allow a sharing of efficiency gains among producers and customers. |
