Competition in mobile markets
Lasse Nagel, a consultant at Frontier (Europe), gave a presentation at the ITS MENA Conference 2009 on "Telecommunications in the Broader Society: Maximising the Benefits and Reducing the Risks", held in the Kingdom of Bahrain (26-28 October 2009).Lasse discussed the regulatory tools available to promote competition in mobile telephony markets, taking into account recent experience from market liberalisation in the Middle East and Northern Africa (i.e. the MENA region). The presentation stressed the need to take a country-specific approach when determining the need for regulatory intervention and the most appropriate policy tool. As part of his presentation Lasse outlined a framework on for determining the most appropriate policy tool, based on a rigorous assessment of the current status of competition, followed by an impact assessment exercise of projected market developments under different options for promoting competition.
The presentation is available on request.
