Abstract:

The objective of this study is to identify and compare policy measures that different countries adopt to promote their telecommunication markets. The analysis covers industrial policy measures that are relevant for the development of telecommunication markets and have a direct impact on incumbents. Five European countries are analysed: France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the UK.Germany is characterised by low range positions and almost all scores are below average. This can be explained by modest state support in terms of fiscal measures and state demand as well as a rather unfavourable competition policy when compared to the other reference countries. A further liberalisation of labour markets and an increase in state support could quickly lead to a diminution of the gap.  The objective of this study is to identify and compare policy measures that different countries adopt to promote their telecommunication markets.
