Crandall and Singer Release Study on the Consequences
of Asymmetric Regulation of Foreign Investment in Canadian Telecommunications
February 20, 2003
A working paper released by Robert Crandall of the Brookings Institution
and Criterion Economics, L.L.C. and Hal J. Singer of Criterion Economics,
L.L.C. studies the effect of asymmetric regulation or "tiering" of foreign
investment in telecommunications. The authors determine that a tiering
approach would harm competition and infrastructure investment because
it would reduce the incentives of incumbent carriers to invest in network
upgrades or new services and potentially aggravate the problem of excess
capacity that plagues the telecommunications industry.
