Delivered at the TERMIUM Exposition Beirut, Lebanon September 20, 2000

Telecommunications Policy Goals An innovative, efficient and reliable telecom. system Accessible to the entire population Subject to reasonable rates and terms of use

Accomplishment of Telecom. Goals Competition Independent Regulator Minimal Regulation

Competition Privatize incumbent service provider Encourage open market entry by multiple service providers

Minimal Regulation Appropriate when a competitive marketplace has been achieved Best regulatory framework uses carefully focused regulation and economic incentives

Optimal ISP Environment Competition, multiple service providers Fair prices for essential facilities & services Reasonable terms of service for essential facilities & services ISPs permitted to provide wide range of services

Promote ISP Market Entry Is regulation necessary to promote market entry? Regulation to create optimal ISP environment entry requirement service requirements ownership restrictions

Incumbent Entry Into ISP Market Is incumbent service provider permitted to offer ISP services? Wholesale? Retail? If so, must ensure reasonable pricing and fair service for other ISPs: tariffed rates, service restrictions, interconnection obligations

Promoting Diverse ISP Services Should service obligations/limitations be imposed on ISPs (including incumbent service provider)? Should different ISP services be subject to different regulatory treatment? Should any limits be imposed on ISP provision of content?

Use of Multiple Media to Provide Internet Access Should the use of different media (telecom., cable TV, wireless) to access the Internet be permitted? If so, should they be subject to different regulatory requirements (such as open access)?

Promote Diverse Internet Access Equipment Multiple technologies provide Internet access PCs WAP-enabled mobile phones Internet appliances Internet growth will be encouraged by promoting distribution and use of these devices

Conclusion Internet value promoted by maximum users, multiple uses Policy goal: multiple ISPs, multiple applications, reasonable rates and terms of service, diverse access systems Regulation only as necessary to handle transitory dislocations
