The benefits of releasing the Bell companies from the interexchange restrictions

Article Abstract:

Consumers will benefit substantially if the Modification of Final Judgment (MFJ) will release the regional Bell operating companies (RBOCs) from the interexchange services restrictions effected at the time of the AT&T 1984 divestiture. Within the decade after the divestment, state and federal regulations were developed to safeguard anticompetitive actions in the interexchange market. At present, the unregulated market shows no such behavior among the telephone companies. In fact, the release of the RBOCs from the restrictions will foster competitiveness.

Network interconnection in telecommunications

Article Abstract:

The possibility of establishing network interconnection among telecommunication companies was assessed through consideration of two situations. Under a symmetric, unregulated industry, companies are more likely to establish interconnection charges above related costs in an effort to attain the joint profit-maximizing result. Under an industry in which incumbency advantages exist, the degree of payment the entrant and the incumbent must pay in relation to access costs depends on factors such as the market power of the entrant.

How alliances are reshaping telecommunications

Article Abstract:

The increasing competition within the telecommunication industry is forcing several companies to engage in strategic alliances. Among telecommunication firms, propectors manifested the highest degree of strategic alliance activity followed by analyzers and defenders. The high incidence of inter-industry alliances within the US demonstrate the ongoing domestic deregulation while alliances within the industry but outside US demonstrate a shift toward international privatization and deregulation of national telecom industries.
