Should next generation access networks fall within the scope of universal service? A European union perspective
2014, Government Information QuarterlyCitation Excerpt :In the theoretical discussion on USO in the European Union, it has been shown that the drivers of information access in the European Union have shifted in the 1990s from a monopolistic to a competitive environment in which problems of convergence have to be addressed. For example, Bauer (1999) showed that emerging competition in infrastructures and services requires a reconsideration of these obligations. In his work, he criticized the narrow approach of European institutions in defining the borders of universal service, arguing that the definition of universal service in the late 1990s has been limited in addressing only a “minimum set of safeguards for basic services and constrained the ability of member states to fund such programs” (Bauer, 1999).
