I think you have picked the two most interesting industries. Because energy
and telecom both have natural monopoly characteristics, the government gets involved in economic regulation (not just the usual environment, safety, labor and other types of regulation which all businesses are subject to). That means that there is constant interplay between policy makers and the business community and that policy makers have alot to say about which business strategies will be successful.

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.
