Abstract :
Regulation is an issue controversial discussed among economists themselves and the companies affected by regulatory policies. But regulation and technical innovation, even if it is temporarily causing a dominant market position, do not have to be oppositional things. This paper aims to show incentives how companies could be pushed to implement technical innovation as a means to overcome regulatory restrictions. This is shown using the example of regulated terminating fees in mobile communication and how inter-provider Handover can lead to contestable markets.
