Overview: The international structure of the telecommunication market is changing rapidly, shaped by waves of privatization, technological progress and international activism of Multinational Companies and former national monopolists. With the signature of Agreement on Basic Telecommunications and the Reference Paper of 1997, 69 member countries of the WTO have engaged in a process of liberalization of both trade and Foreign Direct Investment. To study the effects of such a process, the author extend Mattoo, Oralleaga and Saggi (2001) to model FDI in the telecommunication sectors of transition and developing economies by considering explicitly a demand function with network externalities and capacity constraints.
