Abstract

Network industry liberalisation is usually introduced to promote competition and achieve efficiency gains in sectors with some degree of natural monopoly. Liberalisation is usually followed with sector-specific regulation, which aims to ensure competition through monitoring of certain target variables such as price, market concentration, investment, etc. In Europe, telecommunications was the first industry to be liberalised, followed progressively by water, electricity, gas and railways.
