Book Synopsis Telecommunications Performance, Reforms, and Governance by : Antonio Estache
Download or read book Telecommunications Performance, Reforms, and Governance written by Antonio Estache and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authors assess the effects of private capital and independent regulatory agencies on telecommunications performance by using cross-country panel data from 1990 to 2003. In general, they find that having independent regulatory agencies positively affects affordability and labor productivity, but negatively affects quality. Having private capital positively affects access, quality, and labor productivity, but negatively affects affordability. However, reform policies affect industrial and developing countries differently in some cases. The authors also find that governance plays an important role as it affects performance and interacts with reform policies.
Book Synopsis The Public's Interest in Telecom Reform by : Lilia Judith Perez Chavolla
Download or read book The Public's Interest in Telecom Reform written by Lilia Judith Perez Chavolla and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: This dissertation analyzes the public interest discourse that accompanies the implementation of telecommunication institutional reforms in developing countries. Whereas previous research has focused on interpretations of the public interest concept by policymakers, this dissertation addresses the point of view of consumers affected by such reforms. Telecom reforms are often accompanied by official discourse emphasizing benefits in price, quality of service, and access that consumers expect to receive; this dissertation analyzes the extent to which consumers consider that these expectations have been fulfilled. The importance of the consumers' interpretation of the public interest is also emphasized by the increased attention of regulatory agencies and public utility commissions worldwide to consumer protection and education in the new regulatory environment. The dissertation focuses on the case of Mexico, a country representative of the political, economic, and social challenges faced by nations with low and middle levels of telephone penetration. Using argumentation analysis, the study reconstructs the consumers' public interest argument about telecommunications reform in Mexico, based on a purposive sample of letters to the editor published in the nationally distributed Mexican newspaper El Financiero from 1991 to 2001. The letters were coded to identify three parts of the consumers' argument: industry performance, recurrent themes, and values. Ninety-two percent of the letters were complaints about the service provided by Telf̌onos de México (Telmex), the incumbent local exchange operator; quality of service, both equipment-oriented and people-oriented, was the area of performance that consumers complained the most about. Thematically, consumers emphasized different aspects of their relationship with Telmex that made them feel powerless before the operator. In their view, Telmex's power over consumers was increased by its close relationship with the communications ministry. Consumers gave priority to values of interaction, such as respect, politeness, and responsiveness, which Telmex seemed to lack. Three main arguments emerged: (a) Telmex exercised power over consumers; (b) the government failed to fulfill the public's interest by facilitating abuses, and (c) consumers were victims of Telmex. I propose that for consumers in Mexico the public interest in telecommunications means empowering consumers before providers. Policy recommendations are given based on this finding.
Book Synopsis Telecommunications Sector Reforms in Senegal by : Jean-Paul Azam
Download or read book Telecommunications Sector Reforms in Senegal written by Jean-Paul Azam and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2002 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper analyzes Senegal's experience with telecommunications liberalization and privatization. Senegal privatized its incumbent operator in 1997, and granted the newly privatized firm seven years of fixed-line exclusivity while introducing "managed competition" in the cellular market and free competition in value-added services (VAS). By May 2001, two cellular operators, a number of VAS providers, and thousands of retailers operating telecenters had entered the market. Reform has thus significantly changed the landscape of Senegal's telecommunications sector and has brought with it tremendous improvement in sector performance. Between 1997 and 2001, fixed-line telephone penetration grew from 1.32 to 2.45 per hundred people, while mobile penetration skyrocketed from 0.08 to 4.04. But it is still too early to assess the validity of granting fixed-line exclusivity to the incumbent operator. While penetration increased, the operator did not meet objectives regarding rural telephony. Moreover, fixed-line penetration increased in areas where the operator faced competition from a mobile provider. This paper--a product of Regulation and Competition Policy, Development Research Group--is part of a larger effort in the group to promote telecommunications competition, liberalization, and privatization in Africa.

Book Synopsis Political Accountability and Regulatory Performance in Infrastructure Industries by : Farid Gasmi
Download or read book Political Accountability and Regulatory Performance in Infrastructure Industries written by Farid Gasmi and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this paper is to empirically explore the relationship between the quality of political institutions and the performance of regulation, an issue that has recently occupied much of the policy debate on the effectiveness of infrastructure industry reforms. Taking the view that political accountability is a key factor that links political structures and regulatory processes, the authors investigate, for the case of telecommunications, its impact on the performance of regulation in two time-series-cross-sectional data sets on 29 developing countries and 23 industrial countries covering the period 1985-99. In addition to confirming some well documented results on the positive role of regulatory governance in infrastructure industries, the authors provide empirical evidence on the impact of the quality of political institutions and their modes of functioning on regulatory performance. The analysis of the data sets shows that the (positive) effect of political accountability on the performance of regulation is stronger in developing countries. An important policy implication of this finding is that future reforms in these countries should give due attention to the development of politically accountable systems.

Book Synopsis Telecommunications Reform in Malawi by : George R. G. Clarke
Download or read book Telecommunications Reform in Malawi written by George R. G. Clarke and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 59 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1998 the Government of Malawi decided to reform its telecommunications sector. Although the reform was ambitious in some ways, it was modest when compared with the most ambitious reforms adopted elsewhere in Sub-Saharan Africa. The two main accomplishments were splitting the incumbent fixed line monopoly, the Malawi Post and Telecommunications Corporation, into two companies - Malawi Telecommunications Limited (MTL) and Malawi Post Corporation (MPC) - and issuing two new cellular licenses to two new private entrants. In addition, the Government also established a new regulator which was separate from, but heavily dependent on, the Ministry of Information and liberalized entry in value-added and Internet services. However, the Government had neither privatized the fixed-line telecommunications operator nor introduced competition in fixed-line services by the end of 2002. Clarke, Gebreab, and Mgombelo discuss sector performance before reform, details of the reform, the political motivation for reform, and events in the five years following the reform. The reform yielded mixed results. Although cellular penetration and Internet use expanded dramatically following reform, prices increased, especially for cellular calls, and fixed-line penetration remains low by regional standards.This paper - a product of Investment Climate, Development Research Group - is part of a larger six-country research program that looks at telecommunications reform throughout Sub-Saharan Africa.
Book Synopsis Driving Performance at Peru's Telecommunications Regulator by : OECD

This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As "market referees", regulators contribute to the delivery of essential public utilities. Their organisational culture, behaviour and governance are important factors in how regulators, and the sectors they oversee, perform. This report uses the OECD Performance Assessment Framework for Economic Regulators (PAFER) to assess both the internal and external governance of Peru's Supervisory Agency for Private Investment in Telecommunications (OSIPTEL). The review acknowledges OSIPTEL's achievements and good practices, analyses the key drivers of its performance, and proposes an integrated reform package to help the regulator prepare for the future.
Book Synopsis Utilities Reforms and Corruption in Developing Countries by : Antonio Estache
Download or read book Utilities Reforms and Corruption in Developing Countries written by Antonio Estache and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2006 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper shows empirically that "privatization" in the energy, telecommunications, and water sectors, and the introduction of independent regulators in those sectors, have not always had the expected effects on access, affordability, or quality of services. It also shows that corruption leads to adjustments in the quantity, quality, and price of services consistent with the profit-maximizing behavior that one would expect from monopolies in the sector. The results suggest that privatization and the introduction of independent regulators have, at best, only partial effects on the consequences of corruption for access, affordability, and quality of utility services.
