The privatization and liberalization of telecommunications services have been debated and pursued with varying speed and success by countries throughout the world. In Turkey, efforts to privatize Turk Telekom and liberalize the telecommunications regime have not yet been successful, At the same time, the Internet has experienced dramatic growth. While the experience of Turkey illustrates that formal liberalization of basic telecommunications services is not a necessary condition for the growth of a dynamic Internet services provision market, the relationship between the Internet service providers and the provider of basic telecommunications services remains a critical one. Turk Telekom and policymakers have permitted the creation of a de facto liberal market for Internet services, have supported the creation of Internet infrastructure, and have established a rather level playing field for Internet service providers.

Network policy formation between idealist and strategic models: a political economy perspective from Turkey Geray, H (1999-07-01) Two models of telecom reform, the Idealist and the Strategic, can be applied to the network policy formation process.

The scope of the policy sphere has been reduced to purportedly competitive markets ignoring socio-economic...
