Abstract

The provision of infrastructural facilities has traditionally been the responsibility of the public sector. However, fiscal constraints, technological innovations, low levels of operational efficiency and inappropriate pricing policies have led to fundamental changes. This paper looks initially at policy changes in the telecommunications sector in India since 1991. It argues that even though the reforms have been successful in terms of encouraging private participation in the sector, it is too early to say how effective they will be in the longer run in achieving sectoral and national development goals. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
