520 |a"A primary concern of public policy decision-makers is the extent to which the telecommunications sector is a natural monopoly, hence perhaps rendering competition undesirable. A secondary concern relates to the structure of rates charged for the various services of telecommunications firms. Are these rates efficient and equitable? If not, what would be a desirable change in the rate structure? This study has considered both of the above telecommunications issues using data drawn from Bell Canada's production and financial accounts. We have conducted empirical tests of the natural monopoly hypothesis and investigated the welfare aspects of the current rate structure and several potential alternative structures"--Summary, p. viii.
