A conceptual framework for public-private interplay in the telecommunications sector

Facility- and Service-Based Competition and Investment in Fixed Broadband Networks: Lessons from a Decade of Access Regulations in the European Union Member States

“…Regulatory policies should be directed from the asymmetric (legacy-based) regulatory paradigm to a more symmetric one focusing on an industry coordinating role and enabling cooperation models in the actual building and sharing of infrastructure (Gomez-Barroso & Feijoo, 2010;.…”

Competing against yourself: State duopoly in the Luxembourg telecommunications industry

“…Different approaches to supply side or demand side incentives have been adopted by across the EU (see, for example, Gómez-Barroso & Feijóo, 2010b;Li, 2012;Nucciarelli, Sadowski, & Achard, 2010;Ragoobar, Whalley, & Harle, 2011;Ruhle, Brusic, Kittl, & Ehrler, 2011;Wee, Beltran, & Verbrugge, 2014).

On a more general level, commentators like Buigues and Sekkat (2010) or Spector (2009), compare and contrast recent government approaches to state subsidies, industrial policies and other market interventions and found the share of GDP spent on public support is lower in the EU than in the US and argue for more research on specific public support policies.…”

Will They Fly?: Different Forms of Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) in New Zealand’s UFB Initiative

“…Recently the role of these partnerships on the allocation of incentives for private parties to foster investment has become a new line of research in the area of broadband diffusion (Falch & Henten, 2008;Howell, 2010;Sadowski, Nucciarelli, & de Rooij, 2009). In this context, public private interplay (PPI) is defined as an alternative means for public and private stakeholders to generate value by lowering risk and reducing uncertainty for private investment (Gomez-Barroso & Feijóo, 2010;. In the interplay between public and private stakeholders, two extreme models can be distinguished: the public utility model (i.e.…”
