Beskrivning

The European Commission's Digital Agenda for Europe sets the targets for broadband development by 2020, yet current broadband market outcomes vary widely amongst the EU Member States and the objectives seem challenging for many. In this book, a group of in-country experts follows a framework of qualitative and quantitative analysis to capture patterns, commonalities and differences between twelve different European countries, in terms of infrastructure endowments, institutional arrangements, time of joining the EU, behavior of market actors, personal interventions of regulators, the role of municipalities, and the role perception of governments. By exploring how the past explains present broadband market outcomes, these longitudinal country case studies look to how improvements can be made for the future. As the first in-depth study of broadband developments in Europe, this book will be invaluable to policy-makers, regulators, academic researchers, advisors, and consultants working in the fields of telecommunications, broadband development, technology and innovation.

Recensioner i media

'After two decades of regulatory convergence the major global regions have pursued more differentiated paths during the past decade. In contrast to the US which adopted a framework steeped in minimally regulated markets and the government-centric approaches of many Asian nations, the EU has pursued a hybrid model combining competition, regulation and forms of industrial policy intervention. The national diversity that exists within the common European framework constitutes a natural experiment from which important lessons can be learned. The case studies assembled and expertly analyzed in this volume provide unique insights into the diversity of policy models across the EU, the effects of these choices for sector performance, and options for pursuing the ambitious goals of the Digital Agenda for Europe.' Johannes M. Bauer, Michigan State University and Chair, Telecommunications Policy Research Conference, 2010–13
