Telstra wheels in US free market heavy for regulatory briefing

IT Policy - Regulation

Telstra is to hold its delayed regulatory briefing for press and analysts on 1 December, with a US advocate of free markets participating via video link.

Jeffery Eisenach is chairman of CapAnalysis, a US organisation that provides economic, financial, regulatory, environmental, and litigation consulting services. The organisation claims to have "played a central role in achieving positive outcomes for our clients in some of the most high-profile and significant antitrust, intellectual property, regulatory and business litigation matters in recent years."

Earlier this year Telstra gave the Financial Review a copy of report authored by Eisenach in which, according to the paper, he concluded that Australia's telecoms market was "heavily and poorly regulated", and called for repeal of the key telecoms specific provisions of the Trade Practices Act, parts 11B and 11c, saying they were ambiguous, permitted excessive intervention and were without precedent internationally.

In 1993 Eisenach co-founded The Progress & Freedom Foundation, which describes itself as "a market-oriented think tank that studies the digital revolution and its implications for public policy." Its mission is to educate policymakers, opinion leaders and the public about issues associated with technological change, based on a philosophy of limited government, free markets and individual sovereignty."
