The telecommunications sector is an industry that requires extensive co-ordination of e.g. technological, economic, and administrative factors in order to function as a unified system. The different actors in the sector normally have diverging interests concerning the choice of common rules.
This has created a demand for institutional and organizational structures that can help the actors reach common solutions. This Ph.D. thesis explores these issues within the telecommunications industry in Europe and Sweden particularly.
