Abstract
Evaluates the Commission’s 1999 Review, focusing on competition issues relating to access to networks. Notes the review’s revised proposals in relation to regulatory obligations imposed upon firms with significant market power. Notes the poor record of the Leased Lines Directive in controlling leased line prices. Argues that access‐pricing problems in the future are best tackled by proper enforcement of competition rules.
