Take a quick look at this article by economist Arnold Kling. He suggests US healthcare regulation be altered so that the regulatory regime of service provision remains delegated to states. However, consumers can select a care plan from a provider in any state and be subject to the regulations of that state. This provides competition among regulatory regimes.
Now substitute "telecom" for "healthcare".
For Discussion. Does this work for connectivity as well as application services (e.g. VoIP)?
