  • The Telecommunications Sector
    Philippine Management Review 2014, Vol. 21, 53-68. Pricing in Regulated Industries: The Telecommunications Sector Arthur S. Cayanan and Ivy D.C. Suan* University of the Philippines, Cesar E.A. Virata School of Business, Diliman, Quezon City 1101, Philippines This paper discusses the factors affecting the pricing of telecommunication services and the pricing schemes used by telecom companies in the Philippines. In spite of the reduced prices mainly brought about by competition, the telecom services offered in the Philippines still remain one of the highest among the Asian countries covered in the comparison. With the acquisition of Digitel by PLDT in 2011 and reducing the sector to two major players, concerns have been raised regarding the prices and the quality of services offered by the remaining players. This is where regulation becomes crucial, but the question remains as to whether the regulatory agency can deliver its mandate of regulating the telecom companies. Keywords: average revenue per user, interconnection rates, pricing, regulated industries, return on equity, return on rate base, tariffs, telecommunications sector, utilities 1 Introduction The telecommunications sector covers fixed line, mobile telephone services and broadband. The importance of this sector in the national economy cannot be underestimated. It provides the infrastructure for the development of the business processing outsourcing sector, one of the biggest contributors to employment and gross international reserves of the country. According to the Business Processing Association of the Philippines (BPAP), the BPO sector employed around 640,000 people and generated US11 billion in revenues in 2011 (Hamlin, 2012). In 2012, the revenues are expected to increase to US13 billion and will add another 126,000 new jobs (Romero, 2012).
