In the early 1990s, China started to reform its telecommunications regime by removing barriers to foreign and private investment and encouraging competition. This text applies the "Public Choice Plus" theory (developed in the study of economics) to the analysis of the policymaking process of China's telecommunications reforms.

In the past decade most countries have had to face the wave of telecommunication liberalisation that swept across the world. On the surface, China is no exception to the worldwide transformation of telecommunication markets. Over the past 15 years, nationwide teledensity grew from 1.11% to more than 40%1. China ranks today as the largest telecommunication market in the world in terms of mobile and fixed-line subscribers. This phenomenal growth has been accompanied by a number of remarkable structural changes, which seemed to share the characteristics of the market-oriented reforms carried out worldwide. By-and-large, the “pro forma” liberalisation programme consists of three elements (see Table 1). Despite claims of developing a telecommunication market with Chinese characteristics, it appeared that some of the early elements of the regulatory reforms process bore strong resemblance with those found in other countries. China's postal sector was separated from the telecommunication sector, operators were detached from government agencies and new entrants started to challenge the incumbent. Institutional changes were carried out through then merger of archrival Ministries (the Ministry of Post) and defined here as the combined fixed and mobile subscribers per hundred inhabitants. In 2005, a proposal was made to reform China's postal system by separating government functions from enterprise management, enhancing government supervision, completing market structure, securing universal and special services, reorganising the State Post Bureau to act as a state supervision institution, and accelerating the foundation of postal saving banks (Xinhua, 2005). Telecommunications or MPT and the Ministry of Electronics Industry or MEI) and the establishment of a regulatory body to supervise the sector (the Ministry of Information Industry or MII). New companies were allowed to challenge the incumbent both in fixedline and mobile segments. In reality, growth took place in spite of the failure to successfully implement the liberalisation trinity consisting of deregulation, competition and privatisation. On the contrary, the Chinese government failed by-and-large both to create an independent regulator and to introduce significant competition, and maintained majority ownership in the operators while restricting market access to private and international operators. Has the government deliberately refrained from adopting the liberalisation programme usually prescribed by multilateral lending agencies or has it simply failed to do so? In other words, are we witnessing a case of policy transfer failure or of policy divergence? By answering this question, the paper seeks to explain the stalled reform process of China's telecommunication sector. It argues that we are faced both with failure and divergence. On the one hand, the government has not been able to establish an independent regulatory authority capable of enforcing the regulatory package adopted in 2000. In addition, competition, both in fixed-line and mobile markets, remains weak and dominated by the incumbent operators. On the other hand, when it comes to privatisation the government has managed to squeeze important financial resources from the listing of China Mobile and China Telecom on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange while maintaining control over the companies. The paper seeks to explain the stalled reform process of China's telecommunication sector. It is organised as follows: the first section provides the theoretical framework - historical institutionalism - and reviews the literature of policy diffusion and convergence. The next section presents the history of China's telecommunication reforms and illustrates the difference between policy output and outcome. To do so, it examines two critical aspects of the reforms - the introduction of competition and the “privatisation” of operators. The third section seeks to explain the stalled reform process of China's telecommunication sector.

Telecommunications reform in India is complete, according to policymakers there. They have done everything correctly in their efforts to transform a state-run monopoly into an independently regulated sector in which private companies compete with government-owned and operated providers. And yet, India lags behind nations whose telecom sectors provided comparable levels of service a decade ago. What went wrong? Dossani and his contributors argue that the classic textbook solutions are insufficient to produce a healthy telecom industry in India, which needs to improve regulatory design, introduce competition in a single phase instead of gradually, implement innovative funding models, and choose appropriate technologies in order to improve access to universal service. Containing valuable lessons for the telecommunications industries in Mexico, Indonesia, the Philippines, and other countries taking formerly state-run industries private, this book constitutes a valuable resource for policymakers, regulators, practitioners, scholars, and overseas investors. Policymakers and regulators will learn that cookie-cutter solutions derived from rich-country experience do not always work in countries that are poor, yet democratic and pro-market. Practitioners will be interested in the sections on universal service, technology convergence, and the implications for reducing costs and improving the quality of both basic telephone services and IT-enabled services. In particular, Indian technology workers in Silicon Valley should find this book indispensable. Investors will gain valuable knowledge about this potentially huge market. Scholars' preconceived ideas may be nudged aside as their knowledge base is enhanced and their research agenda expanded. Whereas some of the book's conclusions support current thinking, such as the need to begin a sequence of reform with a regulatory system in place and the need for dominant-carrier regulation, other conclusions challenge the conventional wisdom. Contributors make a cogent case for reformulating the balance of power between regulators and policymakers, introducing competition at the local level rather than through large franchises, and replacing public subsidies with cross-subsidies of universal service. Provides a multidisciplinary approach to understanding the problems of telecommunications reform in all their complexity.

Abstract: Abstract China's telecommunications service sector was traditionally protected from both domestic and foreign competition. The sector was monopolized by the former Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications (MPT), which acted as both the regulator and the public operator. Foreign participation was also strictly prohibited. Two major rounds of reforms were initiated during the period 1993 and 1994, and during 1998 and 1999. The key reforms and development included the establishment of China Unicom in 1994, the formation of the Ministry of Information Industry (ME) in 1998, and the first breakup of China Telecom in 1999. The second breakup of China Telecom in 2002 was another significant development. A number of factors led to these reforms and development, namely the global trend of liberalization of the telecommunications service sector, the dissatisfaction with the monopoly, the government's desire to create a competitive market, and the need to comply with the World Trade Organization (WTO) commitments. The research attempts to examine the possible impact of these reforms and development by studying the statistics of various aspects of the main operators and of the sector in the last decade. Any changes in a micro and/or macro perspective may be attributable to such reforms. Findings show a slowing growth of the sector in the past few years in terms of business volume, realized revenue, realized fixed asset investment; and the formation and growth of China Mobile, China Netcom, and China Unicom at the expense of China Telecom regarding the number of subscribers, operating revenue, realized fixed asset investment, and business volume. After accession into the WTO, it is anticipated that foreign participation in the sector will be active. However, this is not the case so far. It is expected that the domestic operators will continue to dominate the sector in the near future; at least until the WTO commitments are fully implemented.

This book attempts to draw lessons from the experiences of developed as well as developing countries in carrying out telecommunications reform. Contributors come from academia, as well as from stakeholders in telecommunications policy in a dozen countries, mostly in the Asia-Pacific region. Globally, the telecommunications industry is undergoing major changes: technological advances in the form of a vast number of new digitised services, ownership shifts as state-owned carriers in many countries become fully or partly privatized, and a general transition from monopolistic to more competitive market environments. The economic and regulatory experiences derived from these changes are explored and analyzed using the USA, the UK, Australia and Singapore to represent developed and newly industrialized countries, and China, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Vietnam as examples of developing countries. The conclusions outlined in this timely volume hold important lessons for these as well as for other countries.

From Iron Fist to Invisible Hand uses telecommunications policy as a window to examine major contradictions in China's growth as an economic and political superpower. While China policy analysts wonder why the government occasionally restrains growth and raises prices, technologists marvel at how the telecommunications industry continues to grow enormously despite constraints and unpredictability in the market. Frustration is pervasive in the business environment, where regulations are constantly changing. This book provides six policy-focused case studies, each centered on a question with implications for telecome stakeholders, such as: Who is the regulator?Who are the regulated? Which foreigners can enter China, thereby regulating wholesale prices, setting consumer prices, and introducing Internet and innovative technologies? These cases explain the government's liberal and conservative approach toward reform, the policies that both promote and constrain business, and the major hurdles that lie ahead in telecommunications reform.
