San Miguel goes into the telecom business (Liberty Telecoms Holdings, Inc.)

[gareb]

---

Actual privatization. The infrastructure remains intact, but a new company is given the opportunity to supply using existing network. The original players would need to be forced to give up a portion of their capacity, but this would stimulate competition and inevitably lead to price savings for the end user.

that would complicate things even more.

wresting ownership and control of existing networks and infrastructures is not simple, especially for those who put it up in the first place. for them to give it away would just be like giving guns to their enemies. we seem to be forgetting that the main point of competition is not the benevolent side effects that variably comes, but the elimination of the other competitor.

besides, the idea is counter-intuitive. nobody would dare invest heavily in the market if they know sooner or later, their investment will be forfeited with the coming on a competitor.

there is a reason why most "natural monopolies" are either owned and operated by governments, or are heavily regulated if they are operated by the private sector. this is to offset their power by bringing them accountable to the public (though i think more should be done about this)

as i have impressed in my previous posts in the thread, the solution is regulation, not competition.

if there is a will, there is a way. problema lang kay walay political will ang mga tao naa sa kagamhanan. ilaha ra kaugalingon ila gi tan-aw.

while i have to agree with the point about 'political will', i fear it's kinda misplaced with the subject at hand.

Hope San Miguel would come into the telecommunications and internet sectors soon so we can have more choices to choose from.
