(Request a copy)This paper analyzes the independence of the sector‐specific regulators (RA) which were created in the 1990s to regulate the liberalized telecoms markets in Belgium and Switzerland. Previous studies focused mainly on the formal (de jure) RA independence. We argue that a formal social network analysis (SNA) allows to broaden this perspective by considering simultaneously the real (de facto) RA independence from elected politicians, regulatees (i.e. telecoms operators) and other co‐regulators (e.g. competition authorities). The empirical results show that the de jure RA independence is a poor predictor of its de facto independence. The SNA approach offers thus an added value to grasp the complexity of RA independence in a multi‐level regulatory framework.
