The gentle art of telecom regulation

摘要

Who would be a regulator? It is virtually impossible to balance the interests of all stakeholders in a sector, especially one as diverse as the communications sector covering as it does all forms of telecommunications and broadcast. Get it wrong and you end up embroiled in lengthy court battles. Maybe it is better just to let the market sort it out.rnThe key requirement of EU telecommunications regulation is to promote competition throughout the EU. The EU Commission's role is to ensure that the activities of the National Regulatory Authorities contribute to the internal market by promoting the interests of citizens of Europe and encouraging network access and service interoperability.
