My research area focuses on the policy and regulation of information and communication technologies. Within this area I have worked on four interrelated research streams:
In all of these areas, I have pursued questions that I believe are critical to the field. For example, at the time of telecommunications market liberalization I wanted to find out how unbundling affected broadband deployment. When populations in Latin America eagerly embraced wireless technology I wanted to determine how the region was going to improve bandwidth in spite of its limited wired infrastructure. More recently, given rapid developments in networked information technology, I wanted to find out if higher levels of regulation in less developed countries have a negative impact on the sector's innovation processes. My current research focuses on the impact that ICTs have on the emergence of new firms while also reducing the informal sector.
My writing has also been characterized by its innovative methodological approaches, an effort that relates to my interest in the process of research and theory development.
Academically I have contributed to these areas by providing explanations and by focusing on a region that does not receive much attention in North America. I want to continue to contribute to both a academia and policy making.

My research area focuses on the policy and regulation of information and communication technologies. Within this area I have worked on four interrelated research streams:
- Infrastructure and access
- Convergence
- The effect of regulation on the private sector
- Private sector influence on policy
