Telecommunications policy in Turkey: Dismantling barriers to growth
ABSTRACT
Modern telecommunications
technology is now widely seen as a critical driver in economic
development. However, the issues involved in the rapid deployment of
this technology are complex and frequently highly controversial.
While some issues are technical, the most difficult ones involve
changing an institutional framework originally designed for
different times and different technologies. The process of changing
this framework necessarily involves disruptive change for existing
infrastructure and service providers as well as substantial benefits
for the economy at large. This paper, based on an extensive series
of interviews in Turkey in 2005 as well as published sources, seeks
to discuss these issues in light of Turkey's progress to date in
taking advantage of advanced available telecommunications technology
and the myriad productivity-enhancing services that are associated
with it. An important element in developing a more competitive and
dynamic sector has been Turkey's long-standing desire to become a
member of the European Union (EU). This has encouraged changes in
the telecommunications regulatory regime following the guidelines
set out in Chapter 19 of the EU ''acquis'' for candidate members.
Nonetheless, substantial further efforts are needed to complete and
implement the desired regulatory framework, particularly as it
affects the former government monopoly carrier, Turk Telekom and the
cable companies. A further limiting factor in recent years has been
an overall investment climate characterized by a high level of
uncertainty for most investors, regardless of size or nationality.
Policy recommendations to help accelerate the deployment of
telecommunications technology include a clear reaffirmation of the
government's priorities for the sector, a reduction in the level of
regulatory uncertainty, strengthening the Board and Staff of the
Telecommunications Authority, and reviewing policies to broaden the
scope and decrease the cost of telecommunication licenses.

When good
intentions are not enough: Sequential entry and competition in the
Turkish mobile industry
ABSTRACT
A decade into the liberalization
of the Turkish mobile industry, the sector remains one of the most
concentrated in Europe. This paper analyzes the links between the
regulatory environment and competitive outcomes in the Turkish
context. The paper argues that 7 years of duopoly incumbency
resulted in a significant first-mover advantage. It then focuses on
the role of the regulatory tools that could potentially restrain the
incumbent operators' first-mover advantage and stimulate
competition: national roaming, interconnection regulation, and
number portability.
