OECD Digital Economy Papers
The OECD Directorate for Science, Technology and Innovation (STI) undertakes a wide range of activities to better understand how information and communication technologies (ICTs) contribute to sustainable economic growth and social well-being. The OECD Digital Economy Papers series covers a broad range of ICT-related issues and makes selected studies available to a wider readership. They include policy reports, which are officially declassified by an OECD Committee, and occasional working papers, which are meant to share early knowledge.

Interconnection and Local Competition
Significant changes in the structure of the telecommunication market have occurred since the introduction
of competition in the sector. Now, companies are competing in all market segments and more importantly,
competition is developing between companies, which use different network platforms such as fixed
telecommunications networks, cable television networks and mobile networks. In terms of regulatory
models, the development of inter-modal competition in the telecommunications sector requires the
regulator to move forward to technology neutral regulation that is essential to maximise the welfare of
consumers through innovative competition between different technology platforms.
