| Abstract: | First, we demonstrate how unregulated price setting in mobile
telecommunications may lead to monopolization, even when networks are
highly substitutable. Second, we demonstrate that a menu of structural
rules, including (i) mandatory interconnection, (ii) reciprocal access
prices and (iii) a ban on price discrimination of calls to other
networks may restore competition. This regulation requires neither
demand data nor information about call costs. |
