International Competition & Cooperation in Globalized Telecommunications Market
Dr. J.-S. Chen 陳建興
Associate Director-Strategic Planning, SBC Communication, San Antonio, TX
摘要：
Telecommunications plays a vital role in any nation's social system. The ability to communicate easily, economically, among communities, across the nation, and around the world promotes national unity and continuity. Telecommunications infrastructure and services have also become critical resources for developing and sustaining economic growth. A country seeking to meet the growing needs and expectations of its people usually will choose to open itself up to the opportunities and benefits provided by foreign investment, technology, and expertise.
By far the most successful structure for a developing country used has been some kind of privatization involving a strategic operating partner. Every developing country to date that has chosen to privatize has done so by a private sale to a strategic investor. The strategic investor that is selected must be able to bring operational expertise and technology to the company and the country.
A carefully developed highly structured plan will ensure that no details are overlooked in the privatization process and should include the following key elements:
- Establish the privatization organization.
- Determine optimal regulatory and legal regime
- Establish qualification requirements for strategic partners.
- and finally, develop privatization schedules.
