“…As mentioned earlier, the first country implementing privatisation reforms in Europe was the U.K., with the sale of 51% of British Telecom's shares in 1984, followed by Italy (1991), Denmark (1992), the Netherlands (1994), Belgium, Greece and Portugal (1995), Germany (1996), France (1997), Switzerland (1998), Austria, Norway and Sweden (1999) (see Alonso et al 2013).…”

The quality of institutions is at the core of the differences in the growth of income and productivity of nations. A growing body of evidence shows how this is also true at the firm level. After taking stock of earlier theoretical and empirical literature on the efficiency of state-owned versus private enterprises, while we consider ownership as the core internal governance mechanism of firms, we add quality of government as a determinant of the external institutional environment. To disentangle the effect of internal and external institutions on firms' productivity, we use different sets of ownership and institutional environment indicators. After having identified the top 350 private, state-invested (i.e. partially state-owned) and state-owned enterprises in the telecommunications industry in EU28 and in more than 60 other countries between 2007 and 2015, we empirically investigate models of firms' productivity augmented with ownership and quality of government. Our findings suggest that, after controlling for the regulatory and competitive conditions at the country level, on average, public ownership has a negative impact on firm-level TFP. This effect is however mitigated by high external institutional quality and even reversed in some countries with a particularly favourable institutional environment.

“…They have concluded that state investments in infrastructures tend to increase with competition whilst private investments tend to decline. Alonso, Clifton, Díaz-Fuentes, Fernández-Gutiérrez, and Revuelta (2013) have analysed whether privatisation led to performance improvements compared to state ownership in an international context but they could not find a significant difference. Pina, Torres, and Bachiller (2014) looked into whether and how service quality in telecommunications is affected by private or public ownership, concluding also that there is no apparent link between ownership and quality.…”

“…Especially when deploying networks in remote and underserved regions, the economics of creating competing infrastructure can be prohibitive and unreasonable [78]. As such, there are a number of choices that can be made that affect the ability of the end user to derive value from the network; these choices involve ownership, management, and access to the network [86][87][88].…”

The design of large scale telecommunication networks is more than the technical allocation of capacity and path routing. By examining the design and allocation of resources in a broader sense, telecommunication network planning and management can better deliver value to the various stakeholders. This is significant especially when deploying networks in economically marginal areas such are rural, remote, or economically depressed regions. This paper presents a planning framework to systematically incorporate the influences, resources and decisions to effectively build or expand a network. Using a stake holders, input, process, output, customer approach, six key areas of society that derive value from better communication infrastructure in relatively unique manners were identified. These areas include healthcare, education, business, and others. The framework presented defines the inputs and outputs that accounts for the range of influences and outcomes in a network planning process. Inputs are broken down into four areas of concern (technical, market, financial, and application trends) that can influence how a network could be designed, along with four output areas (auxiliary activities, deployment strategies, technical design, and ownership and access). Through an extensive literature survey across many industries this framework was established to incorporate the many social economic and technical factors that influence telecommunication network planning and design.Keywords Network planning Á Survivable network planning Á Techno-economic planning Á Long range planning Á Network design Á Six sigma sipoc
