摘要：The Internet can be seen as the convergence of different industries,
such as telecommunication, software and media, into an international oligopoly of-
fering complementary products. In most of these industries we have dominant firms,
but domestic telecommunication firms providing local access are the only ones facing
a restrictive regulatory regime. The other dominant firms are typically US owned.
We show that strict regulation of the domestic telecommunication firm may have
negative welfare effects for other countries than the USA, particularly if we observe
fierce competition in the end-user market.
