Abstract
Purpose Telecommunications comprises a vital component of information infrastructures and services, with a historically strong public interest dimension. For the best part of 30 years, the telecommunications sector in Europe has been the subject of a radical reorganisation in structural and operational terms along the lines of neoliberalism. This paper aims to analyse the significance of the neoliberal project in telecommunications in respect of the related dimensions of ideology and practice. Designmethodologyapproach The paper presents a public policy critique of the manifestation of neoliberalism in the telecommunications sector in the European Union, employing deskbased research on relevant primary and secondary source documentation. Findings The paper finds that proponents of neoliberalism have been able to secure the broad acceptance of neoliberalism as a view of the world for telecommunications. It shows that in practice, however, the neoliberal model in telecommunications provides evidence of a less than efficacious adoption process in three respects neoliberalism requires an elaborately managed system the regulatory burden of which has been underemphasised the normative success of neoliberalism has masked how difficult it has actually proven to be to create competition the preoccupation with markets and competition has resulted in deemphasis of public interest issues in telecommunications. Originalityvalue This paper contributes uptodate knowledge of the nature and effects of neoliberalism in the European telecommunication sector. It provides a challenge and counterweight to the received wisdom that neoliberalism has been an overwhelmingly successful approach to the reordering of European telecommunications.
