As China's economy transforms from the plan into the market, the whole market system is taking shape gradually, but industry which has network economy and monopolize characteristic lags far behind the whole development of market economy, when it transforms into the market , The dense planned economy characteristic makes the privilege of administrationnal monopoly and the power of the natural monopoly mix each other in the market, The telecommunication industry is classical one. Great amount of monopoly profits, the inferior products and poor efficiency of the service quality and resource distribution have been firely criticized in our society, It is one of the focal point of reforming at the same time too. So this paper, out to concern these industries and understand the difficult in reform, I take telecommunication industry as an example, my study centres on regulation especially on the access pricing. My target to study its problems and developing course is to hope to offer kinds of references to other monopoly reform in other monoply industries. At the same time, as the informational economy is substituting the traditional economy, there is great space for telecommunication development. The part of this industry in gross national product proportion more and more heavy, itself's efficiency becomes more and more important today, how to improve its efficiency is one of today's centre of our economic research.Fast development in information technology forms an assault to traditional monopoly characteristic of telecommunication industry and make its competitiveness strenthen, at the same time introspection to inefficient regulation requires us to use competition substitute govermental regulation, but competition mixing with regulation in the same one industry when traditional telecommunication transforms into modern one makes the regulation complex. In this proccess, access pricing is primary , because it is basical interface of the competition and monopoly. Different regulation tools have different effections to regulated enterprises and competitive enterprises. These enterprises' game behavior will effect industry's efficiency and welfare of the whole society.The effective competition is to regard enterprise's independent property and independent pricing right as the prerequisite, and enterprise bears corresponding loss and income, The relation of competiting each other forms restriction between the enterprise, but the price control based on regulation has changed this principle through the other person (regulation organization), it changes the restriction relation through changing income and its corresponding responsibility, thus change the behavior of the enterprise and performance of the whole market. Today it is one of key question wether it can composate market fault through regulation to improve efficiency of the industry and whole economy. In this paper chapter one we review briefly developing proccess of China telecommunication in terms of its history. Telecommunication won a large amount of transferring payment through sloped industrial policy, This has offered the capital source for 1980's enormous investment; in 1993 through allowing CHINAUNICOM enter telecommunication, telecommunication changed the original single monopoly pattern, it means compitition beginning, after that, telecommunication separated from post-telecom service and established new electronic information department, these must change existing indistinction of the government and those enterprises' functions , and cahnge regulation disadvantage of neutrality, and will rebuild all regulation mechanism. Besides, China Telecom that monopolized nearly all services originally was cut apart perpendicularly according to its service content changed the market structure of the whole telecommunication. So, through the telecommunication reform of nearly 20 years, though there are a lot to need reform in China Telecom, the basic competitive market has already realized progressively . On the other hand, according to tele...
