Abstract: The rollout of the next generation access (NGA) networks as part of the future communications infrastructure involves substantial capital investment and risk. The design and enforcement of access regulation for the NGA networks have significant impact on the attainment of diverse policy goals concerning investment, innovation, competition and infrastructure openness. This study compares and analyses the legal and policy developments in the US, the UK, Australia and Hong Kong for access regulation in the transition from the first generation access (FGA) to the NGA network environment, with a theoretical framework based on transaction cost economics (TCE). On the basis of doctrinal and archival researches, this study investigates four research questions. First, what are the similarities and differences between the regulatory models adopted by the four jurisdictions for access regulation in the FGA and the NGA network environments? Second, how did transaction costs arise in these four regulatory models and affect the implementation of access regulation on their respective FGA networks? Third, how do these four jurisdictions reform access regulation for the NGA network environment in response to the transaction cost problems encountered in the FGA network environment? Fourth, how does TCE contribute to the theoretical understanding and future reform of access regulation in the NGA network environment based on experience in these four jurisdictions? The study explains access regulation and provides theoretical contributions to the optimal form of access regulation in the NGA network environment on the basis of TCE theories. This study has found that the regulatory models adopted in the four jurisdictions have achieved the rollout of NGA networks, delivered various degrees of competition in the market and avoided many of the transaction cost problems encountered in the FGA network environment. However, this study has also revealed other problems with the regulatory models. Justifications of the access regulation based on significant market power, entry barriers or enduring bottlenecks have become untenable with the emergence of alternative access networks, but mere reliance on the market may not attain the public interest objectives of effective competition and infrastructure openness. Policymakers and regulators therefore face a dilemma in applying access regulation based on neoclassical economics. This thesis argues that the traditional concepts of market power and market failure based on neoclassical economics have constrained the ability of policymakers and regulators to address access problems in the NGA network environment. It asserts that the concepts of "transaction dependency" and transaction costs provide a better theoretical underpinning for designing access regulation. Policymakers and regulators should adopt laws and policies for access regulation to tackle problems arising from "transaction dependency" and transaction costs. This study is theoretically significant as it contributes to a new understanding of access regulation from the TCE perspectives.

This book explores the manner in which a variety of public benefits such as environmental protection and consumer safety have been accommodated through the authorisation process within competition law and policy in Australia. While the regulator s use of its discretion can be explained as a triumph of practice over theory, this book explores the potential for competition principles to be imbued by the wider discourses of democratic participation and human rights. In doing so it makes a significant contribution to the Australian competition policy as well as reconceptualising the way in which discretion is used by regulators...a very important and creative contribution to the literatures on both business regulation in general and Australian competition and consumer protection law in particular. It pays special attention to an everyday regulatory function that is often ignored in scholarship. And it is very important in challenging--on both empirical and normative policy oriented grounds--a narrowly economic approach to competition law, and proposing an alternative understanding and practice for the public benefit test in ACCC authorisations.

Corones' Restrictive Trade Practices Law is now completely updated in a new edition, Competition Law in Australia. This new edition reflects the recent dramatic changes in the trade practices legislation. Due to the impact of the Hilmer Report, & hence changes to the teaching syllabus, the book required a change in its focus & breadth. This second edition focuses not just on Part IV (Restrictive Trade Practices) of the Trade Practices Act, but also deals with: * Part IIIA (Access to Services) * Part XIA (the Competition Code) * Part XIB (Anti-competitive Conduct in the Telecommunications Industry), & * Part XIC (Telecommunications Access Regime). The book's important introductory chapter remains, locating competition law within its economic environment, thus providing students with a broader perspective, aiding their understanding of the aims & objectives of the Trade Practices Act. Major areas of change since the previous edition which are now covered in the text include: * the competition law provisions of the Act * the new broader role of the ACCC (Australian Competition & Consumer Commission) * the Competition Reform Policy Act (1995), which introduced into all states, competition codes relating to individuals not just corporations * the repeal of s49 of the TPA on Price Discrimination * the new Evidence Act 1995 (Cth), & * legal professional privilege. For an up-to-date & comprehensive investigation of competition law this book will be invaluable to both students & practitioners.
