    An evaluation of the telecommunications industry deregulation
    (1999-03) Custodio, Lovelyn Zaraspe; Tezon, Maribel, Chiu; Herrin, Alejandro N.
    The present unsatisfactory state of telecommunications services results from both inadequate financing and poor management. More fundamentally, however, these symptoms reflect underlying deficiencies in the institutions and policies that govern the sector. Recognizing these realities, many countries are now enacting comprehensive reforms designed to expand and improve their telecommunications infrastructure. In the Philippines, deregulation of the telecommunications sector has transformed it into an exciting industry to watch today due to increasing competition, mergers, strategies, and counter strategies involving key players. The government was successful in inducing competition, however, PLOT's monopoly is still strongly enhanced to block the policy of interconnection of different telephone networks. Local telephone companies, which have been in operation before deregulation, were only making enough profits. Some were even getting negative returns. With the entry of bigger players in the telephone business, local firms were faced with tough competition. True enough, the telephone density in the country improved. On the average, more lines are now available in proportion to the total population. However, this access to telephone lines is only felt in NCR while the other regions still suffer from the lack of the service. When these lines were made available, problems in contacting other carriers' subscribers have increased, with noises and unwanted signals corrupting the once audible lines. Deregulation might have resulted to some improvements. However, objectives like universal access and interconnection among different carriers are only partly achieved. Therefore, the government's aim to catch up in telecommunications infrastructure and to emerge as a newly industrialized country is still far from reality. Its aim cannot be achieved now, not in the near future as long as there are no properly observed guidelines and regulatory framework.

    Preliminary observations on the deregulation in the Philippine domestic airline industry
    (1997-03) Diamante, Jann Dirk A.; Mariano, Enrico A.; Herrin, Alejandro N.
    This paper provides preliminary observations on the deregulation of the Philippine domestic airline industry. To serve as a guide for the discussion, a basic monopoly model is presented with an illustration of the workings of demand elasticities in the residual demand curve. Together with this are the economics that determine quality of service, routes, and safety. Next comes a discussion of the experience of the United States regarding the deregulation of their own domestic airline industry to serve as a backdrop of our discussion on current development in the Philippine domestic airline industry. For the Philippine case,la few methods for studying the impact of deregulation used in the U.S.are adapted. The paper ends with the view that basically, fares will continue to go down. Suggestions for further government actions are given.
