About this document
This study and report, prepared for the UK Competitive Telecommunications Association (UKCTA), examines key regulatory issues in competitive electronic communications markets. It analyses the success of network deployment and competition, along with the risks posed by deregulation and regulatory inertia.
The report evaluates these challenges as they are likely to arise in the next Ofcom fixed line market review, providing insights into the associated risks for stakeholders and principles to address them, drawing on international benchmarks.
While UKCTA members broadly support the analysis and conclusions presented, they each hold individual positions and viewpoints on the topics discussed. It should not be assumed that every UKCTA member agrees with all points covered in the study and report.
Furthermore, although the report anticipates issues likely to arise in the next market review, it does not represent the individual responses of UKCTA members, who will engage directly with Ofcom and the Government on substantive matters.
The analysis provided herein is prepared on a best-efforts basis across the multiple jurisdictions reviewed. Please note that documents have been translated from the local language to English using machine translation tools.
