The impact of regulation on innovation capacity in the telecommunication sector
Šperková, Lenka ; Cahlík, Tomáš (advisor) ; Rusnák, Marek (referee)
This paper provides an analysis of efficiency and innovation capacity of regulatory measures in two major areas of telecommunication sector: voice telephony and broadband market. In the first part we introduce basic concepts connected with development and performance of voice telephony along with recent European regulatory measures connected to mobile termination rates (MTR) and possible externalities. Impact of introduction LRIC approach on prices of local calls is provided by econometric panel data model covering 17 countries from 2004 till 2011. We have found no significant impact. In the second part we study broadband market segmentation and performance in connection with application "ladder of investments" and "local loop unbundling" approaches. This model is tested on panel dataset of 23 countries in 2004-2010 period of time. Our findings include presence of positive relationship between all three forms of unbundled accesses with different magnitudes of effects. Following test of access payments impact on facility-based competition has detected that: high (average monthly) payments per fully unbundled access do not tend to have positive impact on number of entrants' lines. Despite this result consolidation of our findings supports "ladder of investments" and "local loop unbundling" theory in...

Regulation of access electronic communications networks in the Czech Republic and its impact on the industry development
Sekaninová, Renáta ; Ševčík, Miroslav (advisor) ; Munzi, Tomáš (referee)
The thesis deals with the asymmetric ex-ante regulation applied in the electronic com-munications sector in order to strengthen the competitive ability of alternative operators at the expense of incumbent operators' competitiveness with the aim of reinforcing effective competition in the electronic communications markets. The author is concer-ned with the regulatory instrument entailing an obligation on the fixed incumbent opera-tors to open their access networks to other operators. This is called Local Loop Unbund-ling (LLU). The thesis assesses regulatory impacts on the Czech electronic communi-cations market. The market development in the Czech Republic certified the negative regulatory effect on the fixed alternative operators'motivation to build their own access infrastructure. The author tries to find the dismotivating elements of the present-day LLU regulatory form by means of the Czech LLU market analysis. The author adverts to the undesirable regulatory effect on both alternative operators'and incumbent opera-tors'investment motivation. The thesis offers reasoning why the pro-competitive regula-tory policy (inhibiting investments necessary for the sector development) is not appro-priate.
