In the coming years, regulatory authorities around the globe will continue to play an important role in the world of telecommunications. Wherever non-renewable resources must be distributed, external effects or natural monopolies or oligopolies exist, and competition cannot develop freely, regulatory methods must intervene. In addition, regulators in many countries actively support the transformation to an information society. It can be assumed that international organizations such as the EU, WTO, and World Bank will promote these developments to an ever greater degree so that international “best practice” regulatory approaches can be realized more quickly.
