This book was released on 2013-03-13 with total page 117 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Die Studie untersucht die Vor- und Nachteile einer Trennung von Post-und Fernmeldewesen in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland. Dazu wird zunächst die Situation im Ausland, insbesondere in Großbritannien beschrieben. Auf der Basis theoretischer und empirischer Untersuchungen werden dann die Vor- und Nachteile der Einheit von Post- und Fernmeldewesen in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland in ihrer bisherigen Form abgewogen. Die Studie kommt entgegen der bisher allgemein vertretenen Auffassung zu dem Ergebnis, daß die Argumente, die für eine Trennung der beiden Bereiche sprechen, gewichtiger sind als die Argumente für eine Einheit von Post- und Fernmeldewesen. Die Untersuchung wurde im Auftrag der Regierungskommission Fernmeldewesen 1986 erstellt. Sie hatte Einfluß auf die Ausgestaltung der Postreform.

Download or read book Multi Modal Competition and the Future of Mail written by Michael A. Crew and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2012 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This compilation of original papers selected from the 19th Conference on Postal and Delivery Economics and authored by an international cast of economists, lawyers, regulators and industry practitioners addresses perhaps the major problem that has ever faced the postal sector – electronic competition from information and communication technologies (ICT). This has increased significantly over the last few years with a consequent serious drop in mail volume. All postal services have been hard hit by ICT, but probably the hardest hit is the United States Postal Service, which has lost almost a quarter of its mail volume since 2007. The loss of mail volume has a devastating effect on scale economies, which now work against post offices, forcing up their unit costs. Strategies to stem the loss in volume include non-linear pricing or volume discounts, increased efficiency and the development of new products. This loss of mail volume from ICT is one of a number of current problems addressed in this volume. The Universal Service Obligation (USO) continues to be a leading issue and concern that ICT undermines postal services' ability to finance the USO is discussed. The importance of measuring and forecasting demand and costs take on even greater importance as ICT undermines the foundations of the postal business. This thought provoking book brings to bear new analyses of the most serious threat post offices have ever faced and raises fundamental questions as to the future of mail. Multi-Modal Competition and the Future of Mail is an ideal resource for students, researchers in regulation and competition law, postal administrations, policy makers, consulting firms and regulatory bodies.
Download or read book Regulating Code written by Ian Brown and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2023-08-15 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The case for a smarter “prosumer law” approach to Internet regulation that would better protect online innovation, public safety, and fundamental democratic rights. Internet use has become ubiquitous in the past two decades, but governments, legislators, and their regulatory agencies have struggled to keep up with the rapidly changing Internet technologies and uses. In this groundbreaking collaboration, regulatory lawyer Christopher Marsden and computer scientist Ian Brown analyze the regulatory shaping of “code”—the technological environment of the Internet—to achieve more economically efficient and socially just regulation. They examine five “hard cases” that illustrate the regulatory crisis: privacy and data protection; copyright and creativity incentives; censorship; social networks and user-generated content; and net neutrality. The authors describe the increasing “multistakeholderization” of Internet governance, in which user groups argue for representation in the closed business-government dialogue, seeking to bring in both rights-based and technologically expert perspectives. Brown and Marsden draw out lessons for better future regulation from the regulatory and interoperability failures illustrated by the five cases. They conclude that governments, users, and better functioning markets need a smarter “prosumer law” approach. Prosumer law would be designed to enhance the competitive production of public goods, including innovation, public safety, and fundamental democratic rights.
