Telecommunications in Germany: An Economic Perspective

This book describes the German telecommunications market and its regulatory environment and contains four case studies showing how firms in Germany employ telecommunications in their corporate strategies. The book describes in detail the recent regulatory reform in Germany and compares the new environment with the old. It also presents a systematic analysis of the corporate uses of telecommunications and shows how regulation has influenced telecommunications usage in Germany. The book is based on work done for an international research project organized by the OECD and the University of California, Berkeley.
