- Abstract
- This paper seeks to examine current critical issues of facility sharing under the convergence environment between telecommunications and broadcasting. Facility sharing issue is mixed with various issues around it so that various features are to be considered. According to the study, facility sharing is not an asymmetric regulation of incumbent telecommunications providers but a symmetric regulation of the companies that are holding the telecommunications facilities. And, existing telecommunications facilities, especially basic telecommunications facilities such as such as ducts, poles and rights-of-way, can play an important role of providing competitive strength to telecommunications providers because installation of those is needed to invest huge capital and take a long time. However, at a national point of view, overlapping investment of the same kind infrastructure can be the squander of the nation's resources, so the government authorities are likely to induce both sides to share existing facilities with appropriate compensation. © 2007 PICMET.
