I’m in Australia: we had a telecommunications business run by the government (Telstra) it was privatised in 1974 and became a monopoly, so in 1989 the government legislated that another telecommunications company (Optus) could use the infrastructure that the government have sold to telstra then we had a duopoly. Then the government built our national broadband network and now we have viable competition in the Telecommunications market with more players like vodaphone and ISP options. How would a laissez-faire market do a better job of creating competition in this situation?
