Zugangsentgelte in der Telekommunikation: Die Erfahrung mit dem entbündelten Zugang zur Teilnehmeranschlussleitung in der EU (Access Pricing in Telecommunications: The Experience of Local Loop Unbundling in the EU), by Juan Delgado, Robert Klotz and Jérôme Fehrenbach.
Wirtschaft und Wettbewerb, (2003); no. 53(4), pp. 346-358.
