The Dynamics of Broadband Markets in Europe: Realizing the 2020 Digital Agenda de Wolter Lemstra

The Dynamics of Broadband Markets in Europe: Realizing the 2020 Digital Agenda

Editat de Wolter Lemstra, William H. Melody
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 22 oct 2014
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.

Recenzii

'It is refreshing to see an analysis that focuses on the 'market dynamics' of broadband growth in Europe, and how it affects policy implementation in different countries. The well-documented conclusion that achieving the EU 2020 broadband targets requires country-specific policy implementation strategies is an important message for both market players and policymakers. The next step is the recognition that this can best be done with a single European telecom regulator.' Ben Verwaayen, former CEO of KPN, BT and Alcatel-Lucent
'The authors are to be congratulated on producing such a rigorous and subtle analysis of the commonalities and the differences between Europe's national broadband markets - competitive markets are good but bringing broadband to everyone will require pragmatic public and private approaches. The analysis here provides policy makers with the solid foundation needed for wise future policy to stimulate broadband investment and take-up.' Colin Blackman, Editor, info and Director, Digital Forum, Centre for European Policy Studies
'One of the most important messages from the research in this book is that for the next stage of broadband infrastructure and digital economy development, there is no single policy pathway to success. Each country's unique legacy may be the most important factor in determining the set of policies and practices necessary to meet the EU Digital Agenda objectives. A common model of policy reform, such as the liberalization model that has been widely applied with significant success in the past, is no longer sufficient. The most important determinants of success will be government policies and industry investment programs that build on each country's historical and cultural development, and its current economic and governmental structure.' Jørgen Abild Andersen, Chairman, OECD Committee on Digital Economy Policy and former Director General, National IT and Telecom Agency, Denmark, 1991–2011
