The aim is to create the largest free trade area in the world. The agreement, once entered into force, will oblige EU countries and the U.S. to further liberalize their markets. The negotiations on TTIP include a chapter on Electronic Communications/ Telecommunications. The challenge therein will be securing commitments for market access to Electronic Communications services. At the same time, these commitments must reflect the legitimate need for consumer protection issues. The need to reduce Electronic Communications-related non-tariff barriers to trade between the Parties is due to the fact that these markets are heavily regulated. Without transnational rules as to regulations national governments can abuse these regulations to deter the market entry by new (foreign) suppliers. Thus the free trade agreement TTIP affects in many respects regulatory provisions on and access to Electronic Communications markets. The objective of this paper is therefore to examine to what extend the regulatory principles for Electronic Communications markets envisaged under TTIP will result in trade facilitation and regulatory convergence between the EU and the U.S. As to this question the result of the analysis is that the chapter on Electronic Communications will be an important step towards facilitating trade in Electronic Communications services. At the same time some regulatory convergence will take place, but this convergence will not lead to a (full) harmonization of regulations. Rather the norm, also after TTIP negotiations will have been concluded successfully, will be mutual recognition of different regulatory regimes. Different regulations being the optimal policy response in different market settings will continue to exist. Moreover, it is very unlikely that such regulatory principles for the Electronic Communications sector are a vehicle for a race to the bottom in levels of consumer protection.}, language = {en} } @article{FredebeulKreinSteingroever2014, author = {Fredebeul-Krein, Markus and Steingr{\"o}ver, Markus}, title = {Wholesale broadband access to IPTV in an NGA environment : how to deal with it from a regulatory perspective?}, series = {Telecommunications Policy}, volume = {38}, journal = {Telecommunications Policy}, number = {3}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Amsterdam}, issn = {0308-5961 (Print)}, doi = {doi:10.1016/j.telpol.2013.04.002}, pages = {264 -- 277}, year = {2014}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{FredebeulKreinSteingroever2013, author = {Fredebeul-Krein, Markus and Steingr{\"o}ver, Markus}, title = {Enhancing broadband development and internet usages for improving networks and services in APEC member economies: Bridging the digital divide}, series = {The 19th ITS Biennial Conference 2012 "Moving Forward with Future Technologies: Opening a Platform for All" 18 - 21 November 2012, Thailand}, booktitle = {The 19th ITS Biennial Conference 2012 "Moving Forward with Future Technologies: Opening a Platform for All" 18 - 21 November 2012, Thailand}, publisher = {ITS}, address = {Bangkok}, pages = {13 S.}, year = {2013}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{FredebeulKreinSteingroever2012, author = {Fredebeul-Krein, Markus and Steingr{\"o}ver, Markus}, title = {Wholesale Broadband Access to IPTV in an NGA environment : how to deal with it from a regulatory perspective?}, pages = {1 -- 16}, year = {2012}, language = {en} } @article{FredebeulKreinKnoben2010, author = {Fredebeul-Krein, Markus and Knoben, Werner}, title = {Long term risk sharing contracts as an approach to establish public-private partnerships for investment into next generation access networks}, series = {Telecommunications Policy}, volume = {34}, journal = {Telecommunications Policy}, number = {9}, isbn = {0308-5961}, pages = {528 -- 539}, year = {2010}, language = {en} } @article{FredebeulKreinSteingroever2009, author = {Fredebeul-Krein, Markus and Steingr{\"o}ver, Markus}, title = {Next Generation Access Networks: Why is there a higher risk of investment and how to deal with it?}, series = {Wettbewerbsprobleme im Internet / J{\"o}rn Kruse ...
