Book excerpt: Presenting academic papers and edited transcripts of panel discussions first presented at the Third Workshop on European Competition Law held in Florence in 1998, this volume provides insight into the debate of whether governments or the European Union should intervene to prevent powerful firms from abusing their control of critical gateways between consumers and communication information services. The volume's three sections, consisting of a panel discussion accompanied by from nine to 12 academic papers, are organized into three themes: regulating access to bottlenecks; agreements, integration, and structural remedies; and institutions and competence. Panel participants include professors of economics, law, and telecommunications; lawyers specializing in European trade and telecommunications law; policy, trade, and technology advisors and consultants; and others.
