The Massachusetts public utility commission has pursued policies to promote competition and efficient pricing in telecommunications since the divestiture of AT&T; in 1984. As part of this effort, the Massachusetts Commission approved incentive regulation for AT&T; and Verizon - the only two companies for which prices were regulated in the state. This article is a case study of what preceded the incentive plans, how the plans themselves were decided, and what came after.
Keywords: incentive regulation, telecommunications, Massachusetts public utility commission
