Abstract

[fre] La « déréglementation » des télécommunications est un mouvement impulsé par une économie dominante (États-Unis) et imposé progressivement aux autres pays développés. Les gouvernements européens « libéraux » ouvrent (ou souhaitent ouvrir) à la concurrence les services des télécommunications. Mais tenter de reproduire en Europe le modèle américain est un non sens. Le gouvernement britannique est ainsi parvenu à créer un puissant monopole privé en dénationalisant British Telecom ! Quant à l'équipe libérale au pouvoir en France depuis mars 1986, elle fait preuve d'une extrême prudence dans la mise en œuvre d'une « déréglementation » qui figure pourtant en bonne place dans son programme de gouvernement. [eng] Telecommunications « deregulation » is a movement propelled by a dominant economy (USA}, which is gradually imposing it on the other developed countries. « Liberal » European gouvernments are introducing a competitive element into telecommunications services to competition, or attempting to do so. But an attempt to reproduce American model in Europe is doomed to failure. For the British government, the result of denationalizing British Telecom has been the creation of a powerful private monopoly. The « liberal » government in power in France since March 1986, seems, for its part, to be proceeding extremely caustiously with a « deregulation » which figured so largely in its programme.
