The editorial, abstracts, book reviews, two articles and links to 
author's prepublication versions of their articles from 
Telecommunications Policy 24-10 (November 2000) are now online 
at http://www.tpeditor.com . 

This theme of the issue "Shaping Liberalised Telecom Markets", is 
introduced in Dr. Melody's editorial: 

"Telecom market liberalization is often viewed as if it were a static, 
uniform condition. Markets are either liberalized or they are not. If 
they are liberalized, there is a particular set of competitive market 
characteristics that will prevail. This simplistic view leads to a 
preoccupation with the act of liberalization, rather than the process 
and detailed structure of liberalization and its ongoing 
implementation. As more and more countries take steps to liberalize 
their telecom sectors and acquire some experience with liberalized 
markets, more attention is being shifted to the particular processes 
and structures of liberalization and their implications, i.e., the 
specific shaping of particular telecom markets. This issue of 
Telecommunications Policy (TP) focuses on the shaping of a 
variety of liberalized telecom markets." -

Telecommunications Policy is concerned with the changing roles of 
telecommunications in the economy and society. It provides a 
forum for research and debate amongst academics, policymakers, 
regulators, industry managers, consultants and other 
professionals. Its orientation is multidisciplinary and international, 
encompassing issues of both theory and practice. Its scope 
includes issues of telecom reform at national, regional and 
international levels, including issues confronting both developed 
and developing countries. It pays particular attention to the 
implications of convergence for knowledge infrastructure 
development, management and regulation.
