- Access:
1. Ability for a potential entrant to enter a market. Alternatively, in a network industry, the ability for a consumer to have a connection so as to obtain a service. Access often requires initial fixed investment by the supplier (such as distribution facilities), so pricing access becomes a regulatory issue.
2. A connection to the utility service, such as connection a local telephone line or to an electric distribution line.
