Regulatory Policy
Ministry of Communications
 Public interest - the main issue
 Competition - the key for innovation,
entrepreneurship, investment & growth.
 Key action areas:
 Liberalization.
 Re-regulation.
 Privatization.
23
Regulation Ideology
State of Israel
Ministry of Communications
 Free and competitive markets promote
growth, efficiency, customer satisfaction &
economic advantage.
 Market restructuring, in transition from
monopoly to open and free market, during a
short time period, requires active and
balanced regulatory intervention.
 Once competitive marketplace is achieved,
a strong regulator will provide unnecessary
24
intervention, and should be abolished.
