ABSTRACT: Technological and economic dynamics lead to changes in telcoms regulation in Europe. Regulatory authorities are differentlty organized in the European countries- but confronted to similar stakes. Market structures and forms of competition are changing and require adaptation of rules and economic principles supporting regulatory decisions. Regulators face new players that were not traditionally part of telecomn sectors (especially OTT -over the top- companies). Regulation agencies develop new skills and face tensions between the construction of a unique European market and the development of national telcoms infrastructure.
