Jean-Paul SIMON, The origins of US public utilities regulation: elements for a social history of netivorks. This paper deals with the genesis of the regulation of public utilities in the United States. It focuses on the complex interaction among corporate actors, branches of the government (Congress and the courts) and small and large users that led to a dual regulatory system (anti-trust laws/independant commissions). Regulation is seen as both a compromise between conflicting interests (shareholders, users, governments, management) and as a trade-off between government intervention (to protect users) and the establishment of a legal monopoly for private firms (to secure growth).
