Background paper WDR 0308

Abstract

The objective of this paper is to analyse the relationship between regulation of interconnection charges and the level of competition and investments. One of the most important issues in the debate on interconnect regulation has been use of forward looking costs for setting of interconnection charges. This debate has been ongoing within the EU as well as in US. This paper discusses the European experiences and in particular the Danish experiences with use of cost based interconnection charges, and their impact on competition and investments in the telecom market.
