Abstract

(This Paper is in Turkish) Services that are based on telecommunication networks, which are crucial infrastructural elements of the information societies, have been gaining increasing attention as composing higher shares within the economies. However, economies of scale in the supply side and network effects in the demand side prevent these markets to be perfectly competitive, and to reach social welfare maximizing equilibria; therefore making regulation a crucial instrument. Turkish mobile telecommunication services form the most competitive segment of overall telecommunication services in Turkey, where the competition process is dysfunctional in the fixed line services. Literature on network industries points out that incumbent firms may prevent new entrants’ competition via network effects and access/ interconnection charges. Our study emphasizes the importance of ex-ante regulation by analysing the strategic interaction among the entrant and incumbent firms in Turkish mobile telecommunications, as well as regulation problems.
