The debate about unbundling the local loop has so far taken place exclusively within the context of Hong Kong’s domestic market.

This is an alternative perspective that I believe will become increasingly relevant in the years to come. It is based upon recent research and interviews conducted in Guangdong with telecommunications operators and regulators.
