Why is regulation necessary to achieve “universal service“?

What will be an ideal response?


Universal service refers to making a service available to all, even if it is unprofitable to include all customers. Regulated companies can make up losses from universal service by making above-normal profits from other products or customers. Regulation must prevent entry into these higher profit lines, or cream skimming by competitors will leave the firm offering universal service at a loss.
