About this title

Synopsis

Currently, privatization and regulatory reform are often viewed as the solution to the problem of poor performance by telecommunications and other public utilities. This volume argues that these high expectations may not always be met because of the way a country's institutions and systems interact.

Review

"...the book is of interest not only for telecommunications economists with the conclusions reached being of relevance for other regulated industries as well." Pio Baake, Journal of Institutional & Theoretical Economics
