Résumé anglais Armelle BEUNARDEAU, Denis PHAN, Ten years of liberalization in telecommunications services in the UK: a survey of institutional changes. British institutional transformations are characterized by two aspects, whose economical logic contains several contradictory elements: the desire to encourage competition, and the need to successfully privatize British Telecom. The British government has had to deal with these contradictions. During the seven years of the "duopoly," competition within the fixed network developped only slightly. Technical changes and increase in demand compensated for the negative effects of the duplication of infrastructures; but the present problems of Telepoint illustrate the limits of competition between infrastructures, as soon as there is neither standardization nor a miminům of cooperation among all those involved in order to guarantee the compatibility and inter-operationality among networks. Certain telecommunications services have undergone remarkable growth, but this is certainly due more to the introduction of competition into the sector, both from without and from within, than to the fact of privatization
