Ownership trends

In most countries, telecommunications operators, up until recently, were state-owned and state-operated. From the beginning of the 1980s, however, countries began to sell at least part of their incumbent operators to private, and sometimes foreign, investors or corporations. These developments have had the result of increasing local and foreign private participation in the telecommunications sector in many countries.
