Regulation and public service obligations : Lessons The regulatory reforms currently implemented in many industrialized countries are being driven by a liberalization process. Within such a context, the capacity to fulfill public service obligations depends not only on the specific nature of these obligations, but on the strategies and structures developed by the regulated companies as well. In this paper, our aim is to understand the relationships existing between the set of regulatory rules and the business strategies adopted by public service operating companies. Our analysis has been based on Britain's regulatory reform. We highlight that regulatory bodies not only exercise the task of defining a set of non-commercial obligations, but are also responsible for orienting the technical, economic and financial decisions being made by the regulated companies. Regulatory bodies are thus being placed in the delicate situation of guiding operators' business strategies, in addition to monitoring and verifying that public service obligations are being fulfilled.
