“…For example, also in Sri Lanka, Balasooriya et al [13] found that the Fair Trading Commission, which by law was to serve as the competition authority for the country, was "almost inoperative despite its investigative and quasi-judicial power assigned by its Act" (p. 388).…”

This study analyzes the nature of regulatory independence and its influence on wireless market development in Tanzania and Botswana. The study finds that the level of regulatory independence is associated with improved market conditions. The research has implications for theories of regulation and market development in low income countries. In particular the Tanzania case suggests that the independence of regulation can have secondary effects such as diversity of technologies and faster transitions to advanced technologies, while the reversal of independence in Botswana highlights the need for greater insights into the under-theorized dynamic nature of regulatory independence.

“…Mišljenja su da nesimetriĉna ex ante regulacija, sama po sebi, nije nuţno uĉinkovita, i da ex ante integrirana politika s industrijskom politikom moţe postići dinamiĉke i efikasne rezultate. Primjerice, Balasooriya et al (2006), u svom ĉlanku ispituju uĉinkovitost regulacije telekomunikacijskog trţišta u Sri Lanki i utvrĊuju da, unatoĉ ranom uspostavljanju Regulatorne komisije za telekomunikacije (TRC) i njenim intervencijama, nisu postignuti povoljni trţišni uvjeti, te da je potrebno razviti odgovarajući regulatorni model.…”

Tržište telekomunikacijskih usluga je važan segment razvoja svake zemlje. Kako je spomenuto tržište prvenstveno bilo u stanju zakonitog monopola, povećanjem njegove važnosti povećava se i potreba otklanjanja, odnosno regulacije prvobitnog stanja prema stanju konkurencije pri čemu bitnu ulogu imaju regulatorna agencija i agencija za zaštitu tržišta. Na hrvatskom tržištu telekomunikacija, na koje je u ovom radu stavljen naglasak, liberalizacija je velikim dijelom provedena, no potrebne su daljnje regulatorne akcije nadležnih tijela kako bi se postiglo ciljno stanje konkurentskog tržišta po uzoru na razvijene zemlje Europske Unije, kojoj Republika Hrvatska teži. Naime, unatoč sve većem broju operatora i davatelja usluga, na hrvatskom telekomunikacijskom tržištu i dalje postoje operatori sa znatnijom tržišnom snagom koji imaju vladajući položaj.

“…Liberalisation has had a significant impact on expansion of telecommunications services. Mobile penetration has increased from 0.01 per cent in 1991 to 11.4 per cent in 2004 (TRCSL 2005 in Balasooriya et al. 2006).…”

This paper examines how unilateral liberalisation of the telecommunications sector affected WTO Member countries' commitments in the GATS of the WTO. It is argued from observations and interviews that unilateral liberalisation provides a basis for making WTO commitments. The differing objectives of WTO Members, their attitudes towards reform (strong reformer or lukewarm supporter of reforms), and country-specific sensitivities appear to be factors responsible for the observed differences between unilateral reforms and GATS commitments in the telecommunications sector.
