Abstract

los cambios tecnológicos han cambiado la naturaleza de la competencia en el sector de las telecomunicaciones. Si antes se defendía la existencia de monopolios naturales ahora la posibilidad de instalar infraestructuras de telecomunicación alternativas a costes no prohibitivos hace que la liberalización del sector de infraestructuras sea un paso indispensable para la plena liberalización del sector y la consecución de las ganancias esperadas de una mayor competencia. La Comisión de la Unión Europea (UE) ha introducido cambios regulatorios en este sector basando el proceso de liberalización en dos fases distintas: en primer lugar se liberalizó el sector de servicios (con alguna excepcion importante) y ahora, en segundo lugar se plantea la liberalización del mercado de infraestructuras (o capacidades). En este artículo defendemos la interrelacion básica entre ambos procesos y la necesidad de llevar a cabo esta segunda fase para que el proceso surta beneficios. La experiencia en distintos paises de la OCDE demuestra que aquellos países que antes liberalizaron el sector de infraestructuras antes han podido disfrutar de un mayor numero de servicios, precios y costes menores de transmisión y de un desarrollo más completo en el sector de las telecomunicaciones.
