Abstract
A necessary, but not a sufficient, condition for full liberalization is to privatize the TOs, thereby transferring all telecoms services into the private sector. The position in June 1996 is set out in Table 7.1. The only member state to have dispensed altogether with its TO by the end of 1996 was the UK, where the majority of the shares were privatized in 1984.
