The reorganization of telecommunication enterprises in 2008 had adjusted the market structure at the aspect of resource allocation. But because the hysteresis of the reorganization policy and the complexity of telecommunication market, the objectives of realizing fair competition and effective competition are unlikely to get the nod in a short time. On the contrary, the imbalanced situation of market structure in some special service fields has become more seriously. In such cases market mechanism cannot play a role in allocating resources effectively. If the telecom operators with the significant market power set the monopoly price for the services and devote to the unfair competition by abuse of the market advantages, the fair competitive market order will be disturbed and the social welfare will be reduced, this situation will affect the long-term benefits and general competitiveness of the telecommunication industry. Therefore, it is necessary to make a scientific performance evaluation of the telecom industry and take some governmental regulations to the imbalanced situation of the market structure.The telecom industry has developed for decades in our country. In order to make a regulation policy which is fit for the situation of our country, we must have a scientific evaluation of the previous performance, efficiency and regulation effects of the telecom industry. We first scientific evaluated the previous performance, efficiency and regulation policy,and then we studied the regulation policy and market access regulation, and the price regulation of telecom based on the practice in Chinese telecom market and the integration of telecommunications networks, TV networks and the internet networks.(1) The thesis studied the market structure and performance of telecoms industry from several aspects which include market structure, business development, investment, communication ability and so on.And then we found that although the restructuring of the telecommunication industry can raise the development level and the service level rapidly, and the price can decries rapidly in the same time. Because the hysteresis of the reorganization policy and the substitution trendy of the mobile service for the fixed service, market structure's imbalanced situation has become more and more seriously. China Telecom and China Unicom's enterprise strength still lag greatly behind the China Mobile, it is difficult to have effective competition with China Mobile.(2)From the view of time and district, the paper utilized the method of Data Envelopment Analysis(DEA) to study the technology efficiency, scale efficiency, pure technology efficiency, dynamic efficiency, static efficiency of the telecom industry in our country.The research results show that the efficiency of China telecom industry existing regional differences,the previous reorganization and regulation effects to the telecom with the reference to the efficiency changes of the telecom industry.We studied the effects of previous reorganization and regulation on the efficiency based on the efficiency changes curve,such as the separating government functions from enterprise management in China telecom industry, relaxing price regulation,the splitting of China telecom group and technical progress of the telecommunications industry,all these promoted the efficiency of China's telecom industry.(3)The regulation effect evaluation index system of telecom industry is established based on the results of expert interviewing and the OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development) regulation targets index system. The Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method was used to evaluate the implementation effect of recent telecom regulation policy. According to the evaluation results obtained that the national regulation policies should focus on the market structure adjustment and to increase industrial support for TD.The conclusions will offer references for the formulation of the relevant regulation policies of the telecom industry in our country.(4)At the aspect of the integration of telecommunications networks, TV networks and the internet,we first studied and evaluated the abroad regulation to the integration of telecommunications networks, TV networks and the internet,we got some advises like the nation should perfect and complete the legal system,and increate independent regulation organizations for the integration of the 3 networks.At the market access regulation aspect,we studied the cross access for telecom industry and TV and radio industry from the whole industry and sole enterprise,which is based on the game theory we have modeled.And we concluded that we must strictly restricted the number of TV and radio enterprises which can access the field of telecom,or will increase the difficulty of the inter-communication,and seriously affect the telecom operators's output and profit,and hinder the sustained and healthy development of the telecommunications industry.(5)At the aspect of market access regulation, the paper studies the situation that the telecommunication industry and broadcast industry enter the opposite market by putting up the game theory model. At the aspect of price regulation, having learned from the interconnection and intercommunication price regulation success experiences of other countries, the paper put forward some interconnection and intercommunication price regulation suggestion. The X parameter of price cap regulation model in telecom industry has been calculated by the method of Malmquist-DEA model. Mathematical model has been putted up to deduce the optimal rule of telecom price variation. The best time point of price adjustment for achieving maximum profit has been determined based on the given price of the initial and final phase.From the view of market competition, the paper gave a game theory analysis to the telecom service price with Cournot Model. It deduced the relationship among the parameters of market concentration rate, average marginal cost, price elasticity of demand and the market price in telecom market. Then, the paper put forward some policy suggestion of telecom regulation in our country according the research achievements. The research achievements will offer references and decision support for the formulation of the relevant regulation policies of the telecom industry in our country.
