New Paper on the Need to Reform Wholesale Roaming

A new paper by Tony Shortall looks at the issues causing wholesale roaming markets to perform
poorly leading to regulatory pressure and where possible, regulatory interventions. These problems
in wholesale roaming markets will become more acute in the face of larger volumes and new
services promised with 5G deployments. The paper shows how the evidence suggests that
anonymous, one-way trading which are normal and essential characteristics or any commodity
exchange can resolve these problems. There are a number of channels that public policy can use to
mandate participation by mobile in such an commodity exchange.
