Abstract

This paper analyses the process of and problems with development of telecommunications in Russia and focuses on the issue of liberalisation, i.e., opening the market to the forces of competition as a means of improving telecommunications infrastructure and the provision of services. We give an overview of trends in the Russian telecommunications sector and investigate the main bottlenecks for its expansion. Moreover the structure of the Russian telecommunications industry as well as the current competitive situation are described and analysed. Finally, we examine the Russian Government's policies in the area of telecommunications reform, with particular focus on the implementation and progress of liberalisation. This includes an analysis of cross-subsidisation, monopoly retention, state intervention through pro-competitive policies and regulations as well as providing universal services.
