By the end of the 1990s, most industrialized and many developing
countries had liberalized their telecommunications markets to improve
service accessibility and affordability for both businesses and
households. In contrast, Algeria still managed its telecommunications
sector as public property. The Ministry of Post and Telecommunications
set the policy, enforced regulation and was in charge of service
provision. The sector suffered from huge supply shortages, the waiting
list lengthened, the quality of service deteriorated and unbalanced the
overall fiscal situation. In 1999, a new government appointed in the
aftermath of President Bouteflika's election decided to change the
situation and launched a comprehensive sector reform. This note
reviews progress made in implementing this reform, discusses its
preliminary impact, and comments on the main lessons learned. The
note shows that by restraining arbitrary administrative action during the
reform implementation, the government of Algeria laid the foundation for
sustainable growth in the telecommunications sector.
