I think it would be interesting to focus your attention on this interplay -- what policy changes have meant to companies (ie the winners and losers) and how explicit companies are about how government policy drives their business strategy in these industries. I also think it would be fascinating to compare regulators' visions for the industry they are restructuring with the reality after the fact. I believe you would find some similarities but also some substantial and interesting differences. Good luck with your studies. My best regards to Mike; I learned a great deal working for him.

I plan a research emphasis in regulatory politics, specific to energy and telecom market convergence and the public interest. I'd welcome any advice or suggestions you have regarding other potential area's of research, based on your professional experience in the public policy arena. I appreciate any guidance, I'm in the earliest stages of forming my advisory committee and curriculum of study. My supervisor, Mike McGowan, sends his regards.
