How many cellular licences should there be? : The economic feasibility

Abstract

Regulators are awarding an increasing number of cellular telephony licences in each market. This Comment uses the experience of several European countries to assess how far that trend should continue, from the points of view of the regulators and the established operators. It concludes that, as part of a wider regulatory mix, regulators can use any number of licences to achieve their objectives; and that consequently there are actions that established operators can take to satisfy regulators with fewer licences, and so minimize in a constructive way the number of players in their markets.
