Over the East decade, regulatory reforms and technological progress have had strong impacts on the telecommunications sector in most industrialized countries, inducing a growing concentration process among firms belonging to different countries. In this paper, the proposed model illustrates the effects of vertical integration in international telecommunications sector in which vertically integrated and unintegrated producers coexist. In telecommunications market, carriers trade essential inputs with one another.

Abstract

Over the East decade, regulatory reforms and technological progress have had strong impacts on the telecommunications sector in most industrialized countries, inducing a growing concentration process among firms belonging to different countries. In this paper, the proposed model illustrates the effects of vertical integration in international telecommunications sector in which vertically integrated and unintegrated producers coexist. In telecommunications market, carriers trade essential inputs with one another. Under this form of production, called symbiotic production, the effects of competitive pressure increase may be analysed in terms of final market prices, intermediate tariffs and market dimensions and their implications on profits.
