Abstract

Integration lessons from the electricity sector.The government's 2007 requirement that Telecom separate into component companies stands at the vanguard of a growing international trend toward sector segregation. But will it prove to be a successful move? In other sectors (notably electricity) some integration appears to be better than forced separation plus contracting for achieving sufficient and sustainable investment. Bronwyn Howell, Richard Meade and Seini O'Connor highlight some lessons that telecommunications can learn from electricity's experience.
