New Regulatory models October 08 Thursday 11:00 – 12:30 Session REG.2 Room B Setting a new agenda Many countries have now established a regulatory authority to look after markets which are competitive to differing degrees. A wide array of tools has been developed, including market analyses and impact assessments, number portability and mandated sharing of infrastructure. Are such tools appropriate for the next stage of market development? KEY QUESTIONS: – Is the future more of the same or is there a Regulation 2.0? – How can the degree of competition in a market be defined and measured and can there ever be too much? – What is the most important tool for future regulation? – Is there an end-game and a way to withdraw from regulation?
