互联网最近的发展正在为宽带电信网络创造市场。过去，几乎所有这类“基础设施”网络都受到政府监管。提出这种市场干预的两个原因是：(1)这种网络构成了自然垄断；(2)实现“普遍服务”，即所有公民都能获得服务。在本文中，我们建立了一个模型，并使用工程数据对其进行估计，以检验这两个假设是否可能在宽带网络中获得。我们发现，当需求水平接近今天的有线电视时，寡头垄断竞争可能会出现。布莱克威尔出版有限公司2000年版权所有
The recent growth of the Internet is creating markets for broadband telecommunications networks. In the past, virtually all such "infrastructure" networks have been subject to government regulation. Two reasons advanced for this market intervention are (i) such networks constitute a natural monopoly, and (ii) to achieve "universal service", in which all citizens have access to services. In this paper, we develop a model and estimate it using engineering data which tests if these two hypotheses are likely to obtain for broadband networks. We find that oligopolistic competition is likely to emerge for demand levels approaching that of today's cable television. Copyright 2000 by Blackwell Publishing Ltd
