| Preliminary scope of work in English |
| One of the most actual topics in Czech republic is a revolution in telecommunications. Although the feeling from this process is positive, it also brings a lot of changes in functioning of competition policy in telecommunications. In the fall, Czech telecommunication office stepped up to big changes. These changes concerned mainly two segments of the telecommunication services. Entry of virtual operators (MVNOs) and spectrum auctions. Although these two things have different impact on telecommunications, they are interconnected. The frequencies that are an objective of the auctions are then used by the three main operators for reselling operations to the virtual operators.
We can assume that the impact of the auction on the costs of the main operators is evident and it should be included when analyzing the anticompetitive behavior of the companies that offer telecommunication services. This thesis is examining the contribution of spectrum auctions to the ongoing changes in telecommunications. I will uphold my research by the data collected by different telecommunication authorities such as CTO (Czech Telecommunication Office), ITU (International Telecommunication Union) or FCC (Federal Communications Commission). Also the basis for my study will be the literature survey of prior research works. |
