| Abstract: | The authors describe a methodology designed to evaluate the impact of deregulation on point-to-point demand in the USA. They briefly review the rationale for regulation and the likely impacts of deregulation. After summarizing previous approaches to the demand for long-distance calls, they present preliminary results of a new study of the demand for toll messages. They conclude that the approach provides a first step towards determining the impact of new (competitive) services on existing point-to-point suppliers. |
