| Summary / Abstract (Note) | This article analyzes Indian public policy on telecommunications. India's telecommunications sector is still mostly state-run, despite a decade-long process of reforms that ended the state monopoly, allowed private entry and introduced independent regulation. The result has been inefficiency and underinvestment. Why has reform not delivered? The answers lie in the choices made by policymakers on reforming the existing institutions that provided telecommunications products and services and what was done to enable new institutions (especially from the private sector) to be created - in particular, the degree of competition allowed and the rules that govern both old and new institutions. |
