Abstract :
Asia-Pacific policy makers in Singapore, Taiwan, Korea, and Malaysia are “benchmarking” their “deregulatory” progress with that of Hong Kong. In contrast to Hong Kong´s “fast-track” deregulatory approach, China has been more conservative. This article analyzes the impact of telecommunications (de)regulatory policies on broadband infrastructure investment in Hong Kong and China, respectively
