This innovative study of the role of competition law in the telecommunications industry starts from a classic perspective: While, in principle, regulation benefits social welfare and efficient allocation of resources, past regulatory experience shows that regulation can be flawed and lead to welfare harm rather than good. In the telecommunications industry specifically, inappropriately designed sector-specific remedies and regulatory delays in the introduction of new telecommunications services can hold up the development of the market towards effective competition and could incur considerable welfare losses. In addition, conventional antitrust analysis still lags behind the dynamic nature of the electronic communications markets. Milena Stoyanova sets out to establish a new understanding of the role of sector-specific regulation and competition law enforcement in the electronic communications sector, addressing such questions as the following: and• Why a new regulatory framework? and• Are sectoral regulation and competition law enforcement mutually exclusive or complementary? and• Why should electronic communications markets be regulated to conform to competition law principles? and• What does competition law add to sector-specific regulation? and• What is the relationship or proportion between regulation and competition law enforcement? An overview of the telecommunications liberalization process initiated at European Community level reveals such problems as a divergent approach of national regulatory authorities in the application of one and the same norms, inability of competition authorities to rightly assess the technicalities underlying a competition problem, and difficulty in carrying out a periodical oversight of compliance with the competition law remedies. The author discusses the legal basis and rationale for the application of the essential facility doctrine to the electronic communications sector, and argues for new regulatory responses to the emergence of collective dominant firms in an oligopolistic setting and to the potential of multifirm conduct to restrict competition through price squeezing and other tactics. The book concludes with a specific case study on the harmonisation of recent Bulgarian legislation with the European Community sector-specific and competition law regimes andà propos the electronic communications sector. Effective competition in the electronic communications market is crucial for securing the dynamic role of the entire information and communications technologies sector, of which electronic communications form the largest segment. The sound and well-informed recommendations in this book ably address common and persistent problems, making Competition Problems in Liberalized Telecommunications a forward-looking mainstay for practitioners and other professionals involved in all aspects of the field.

El rodaje de la película basada en También esto pasará desatará en Milena Busquets una avalancha de imágenes sobre el paso del tiempo. En 2015, Milena Busquets publicó También esto pasará, una novela que destilaba el dolor de la pérdida de su madre y la reafirmación de la vida con una mezcla inconfundible de ligereza y lucidez. Diez años después, mientras se rueda su adaptación cinematográfica, la autora regresa al mundo que ha descrito y reinventado. Y ese retorno es, a la vez, un vértigo y un anhelo: «Me quiero quedar aquí –confiesa–. Y que todo vuelva a empezar». La dulce existencia es un relato atravesado por la búsqueda de la belleza y por el peso de la memoria. Los vientos y la luz dorada de Cadaqués, las mañanas en el Casino, el magnetismo de los actores y productores, el coqueteo, los restaurantes de playa, los libros de cabecera... Todo ello en un vaivén constante entre la realidad y la invención, entre lo que se vive y lo que se recuerda. Para Proust, la literatura era el arte de fijar el tiempo, de esclarecer la impresión de los recuerdos. Y eso es, precisamente, lo que hace este libro: reconstruir con la nitidez y también con la melancolía que da la distancia aquellos días en los que Milena Busquets vivía sin ser consciente de que estaba siendo feliz, días en que todo estaba por delante. Un viaje al paraíso antes de la conciencia de su pérdida.

La dolça existència és l’indret just on la realitat es troba amb la ficció «la fantasia, allà on tot té solució, on res dolent pot succeir, on les persones mai deceben i els herois mai traeixen». Un relat travessat per la cerca de la bellesa i el pes de la memòria. El vent i la llum daurada de Cadaqués, els matins al Casino, el magnetisme dels actors i productors, el flirteig, els restaurants de platja, els llibres de capçalera... Tot es barreja en un vaivé constant entre realitat i invenció, entre passat i present, entre allò que es viu i allò que es recorda.
