3.3.5 Alternative business models

The specific implications of technology and market developments on regulations are examined in the second section of the module on technology implications. In the present sub-section, the aim is to treat the issues of licensing, interconnection, universal service/access and resource management in a transversal manner, discussing how the regulatory set-up as a whole will develop, taking technology and market developments into consideration. Furthermore, new business models and alternative organizational forms and providers are discussed. The overall purpose of the regulatory paradigm must be to open as many paths to network development as possible and to refrain from restraining these developments. Technology developments offer a wide range of new network technologies in access as well as core network parts, and a fundamental goal of policies and regulations in the field must be to take advantage of these new technologies in order to increase access and service provision.
