Summary/Abstract: The liberalization of the telecommunication market was an important step in the further development of the entire Romanian communication system, by facile access for the market participants and set up of the necessary infrastructure for mobile phone operators in order to provide services at reasonable prices to the final consumer. The process of liberalization, largely imposed by European directives packages, involved the necessity of monitoring the functioning of the market mechanism by an autonomous authority, empowered to issue regulations in order to promote non-discriminatory access. This article will look into the liberalization process of the mobile telecom market in Romania and in other EU Member States and it will be illustrated with some case studies of European mergers in this sector.
