These intertwined processes play a key role in the broader topic of sustainable development, which is making its way into different sectors of society. Sustainable development is not only about technology development but involves several business and regulatory decisions that have a fundamental impact on our future society. Information and communication technologies (ICTs) are important enablers in this sustainability transition and the ICT sectors own sustainability role is yet underdefined. To help scholars, industries, and regulators to better structure the complex topic of connecting sustainable development and the ICTs, this paper discusses development of sustainable 6G mobile communications with a multi-perspective approach including environmental, social and economic sustainabilities, business, regulation and technology dimensions, and academia, industry and regulator stakeholder perspectives. The paper presents findings for 6G development from the three identified perspectives. This paper further explores an illustrative case study of spectrum management in 6G, which has a fundamental role in defining the future mobile connectivity market.", "Addresses": "[Matinmikko-Blue, Marja] Univ Oulu, Infotech Oulu Focus Inst, Oulu, Finland; [Matinmikko-Blue, Marja; Yrjola, Seppo] Univ Oulu, Ctr Wireless Commun, Oulu, Finland; [Ahokangas, Petri] Univ Oulu, Martti Ahtisaari Inst, Oulu Business Sch, Oulu, Finland; [Yrjola, Seppo] Nokia, Oulu, Finland", "Affiliations": "University of Oulu; University of Oulu; University of Oulu", "Reprint Addresses": "Matinmikko-Blue, M (corresponding author), Univ Oulu, Infotech Oulu Focus Inst, Oulu, Finland.;Matinmikko-Blue, M (corresponding author), Univ Oulu, Ctr Wireless Commun, Oulu, Finland.", "Email Addresses": "marja.matinmikko@oulu.fi; seppo.yrjola@oulu.fi; petri.ahokangas@oulu.fi", "Researcher Ids": "Ahokangas, Petri/AAH-9632-2021", "ORCIDs": "Ahokangas, Petri/0000-0002-2351-8473", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 48.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 1.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 1.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 4.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 4.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "London", "Publisher Address": "125 London Wall, London, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

We distinguish between different connectivity speed levels by aggregating the available regional data across all existing broadband technologies, and investigate how regional differences in the contribution of broadband coverage to real economic growth can quantitatively explain the persistence of the European urban-rural digital divide. In order to make our results robust to endogeneity and disaggregated data availability issues, we employ a bootstrap-based bias correction for the dynamic fixed effects estimator. We find that expansions in the provision of lower-speed broadband access accelerated annual per capita growth in both urban and rural regions through diminishing returns to scale, but that the effects were weaker in those regions characterized by larger ruralization. High-speed broadband coverage, on the contrary, could only be significantly related to rural economic growth and had no impact within their urban coun-terparts. We find evidence that the costs of these high-speed rural connectivity expansions had not yet been offset, but that they exhibit increasing returns to scale with cut-off levels nearing full coverage. These results indicate that the high-speed digital expansion of rural Europe is a po-tential gamechanger for further rural development policies through its role as a general-purpose infrastructure, and consequently argue in favour of increased efforts to close the urban-rural digital gap.", "Addresses": "[de Clercq, Michael; D'Haese, Marijke; Buysse, Jeroen] Univ Ghent, Dept Agr Econ, Coupure Links 653, B-9000 Ghent, Belgium", "Affiliations": "Ghent University", "Reprint Addresses": "de Clercq, M (corresponding author), Univ Ghent, Dept Agr Econ, Coupure Links 653, B-9000 Ghent, Belgium.", "Email Addresses": "michael.declercq@ugent.be; marijke.dhaese@ugent.be; j.buysse@ugent.be", "Researcher Ids": "de Clercq, Michaël/IAQ-0263-2023", "ORCIDs": "de Clercq, Michaël/0000-0003-2993-8054", "Funding Orgs": "European Commission [818194]; H2020 Societal Challenges Programme [818194] Funding Source: H2020 Societal Challenges Programme", "Funding Name Preferred": "European Commission(European Union (EU)European Commission Joint Research Centre); H2020 Societal Challenges Programme(Horizon 2020European Union (EU)H2020 Societal Challenges Programme)", "Funding Text": "Funding This work received financial support from the European Commission 's Horizon 2020 project DESIRA (Grant Agreement No. 818194) .

The winning bid price in such SMRA spectrum auctions is of interest as it determines the valuation of the scarce resource by the mobile operators, and also indicates the revenue accrued to the governments as auction proceeds. We examine, using a cross-country panel dataset, the determinants of spectrum prices, of all the SMRA auctions held in about 25 countries during 1994-2019. Our findings indicate that reserve prices fixed by the auctioneer as the starting price of auctions and the competition in the auction are the two variables that significantly affect the winning bid prices positively in SMRA auctions. The effect of reserve prices is more pronounced in regional auctions held in countries such as the U.S. and India. Further, the larger the amount of spectrum put on auction, lesser is the winning bid price, thereby indicating the traditional supply-demand relationship. Based on these findings, we provide policy prescriptions on fixing appropriate reserve prices, providing a clear visibility of spectrum availability, and increasing competition in mobile services for effective use of scarce radio spectrum.", "Addresses": "[Sridhar, V] Int Inst Informat Technol Bangalore, Ctr IT & Publ Policy, 26-C Elect City, Bengaluru 560035, India; [Prasad, Rohit] Management Dev Inst, Mehrauli Rd, Sukhrali 122007, Gurugram, India", "Affiliations": "Management Development Institute (MDI)", "Reprint Addresses": "Sridhar, V (corresponding author), Int Inst Informat Technol Bangalore, Ctr IT & Publ Policy, 26-C Elect City, Bengaluru 560035, India.", "Email Addresses": "vsridhar@iiitb.ac.in", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "", "Funding Orgs": "Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad IDEA Telecom Centre of Excellence", "Funding Name Preferred": "Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad IDEA Telecom Centre of Excellence", "Funding Text": "The authors would like to acknowledge Dot.Econ (www.dotecon.com) for giving us access to their spectrum database for academic use.

The goal of the NBN is to provide Australians with broadband internet access by using a mix of technologies, ranging from fibre and hybrid fibre-coaxial to fixed wireless and satellite platforms. Although the NBN is a public project, one of the more vexing aspects of its evolution is its lack of data transparency. There is virtually no information on platform use or footprint distribution throughout the country. Not only does this drastically limit evidence-based telecommunications policy analysis, it also limits the ability to evaluate equity in the spatial distribution of broadband connectivity and infrastructure quality. The purpose of this paper is to uncover the geographic presence of the various NBN technologies using data mining techniques and census-based socio-spatial data (SEIFA). The results portray the complexity of the NBN footprint across three metropolitan regions of Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane - with a focus on how the mixed-technology platform adopted divides major Australian cities.", "Addresses": "[Alizadeh, Tooran] Univ Sydney, Sydney, NSW, Australia; [Helderop, Edward] Arizona State Univ, Tempe, AZ 85287 USA; [Grubesic, Tony] Univ Texas Austin, Austin, TX 78712 USA", "Affiliations": "University of Sydney; Arizona State University; Arizona State University-Tempe; University of Texas System; University of Texas Austin", "Reprint Addresses": "Alizadeh, T (corresponding author), Univ Sydney, Sydney, NSW, Australia.", "Email Addresses": "tooran.alizadeh@sydney.edu.au", "Researcher Ids": "Alizadeh, Tooran/AAX-2371-2020; Grubesic, Tony H/C-4273-2012", "ORCIDs": "", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 83.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 10.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 10.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 0.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 11.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

However, small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) have scarce time and resources for experimenting with their BMs and implementing new strategies. This paper examines whether SMEs that undergo digital transformation perform better if they allocate more resources for BM experimentation and engage more in strategy implementation. An empirical study was conducted on 321 European SMEs that actively use social media, big data, and information technology to innovate their BMs. Furthermore, structural equation modelling showed positive overall firm performance effects of more resource allocation to BM experimentation and more engagement in practices of strategy implementation. These effects were mediated by BM experimentation practices and company innovativeness. Moreover, fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) revealed the presence of equifinality by identifying different configurations in which these antecedent conditions affect overall firm overall performance. The results of two methodological approaches showed that SMEs may take different routes to improve their performance when digital transformation is changing their BM. This paper is one of the first to analyse how SMEs can handle the impact of digitalization by spending more time and effort on innovating their BMs. Practical and policy implications are discussed.", "Addresses": "[Bouwman, Harry; de Reuver, Mark] Delft Univ Technol, Delft, Netherlands; [Nikou, Shahrokh] Abo Akad Univ, Turku, Finland", "Affiliations": "Delft University of Technology; Abo Akademi University", "Reprint Addresses": "Nikou, S (corresponding author), Fanriksgatan 3 B, Turku 20500, Finland.", "Email Addresses": "W.A.G.A.Bouwman@tudelft.nl; snikou@abo.fi; G.A.deReuver@tudelft.nl", "Researcher Ids": "黄, 荣 昌/HGA-6762-2022; Nikou, Shahrokh/B-2644-2017; de Reuver, Mark/ABF-6649-2021", "ORCIDs": "Nikou, Shahrokh/0000-0002-0029-5852; de Reuver, Mark/0000-0002-6302-7185; Bouwman, Harry/0000-0002-7874-8671", "Funding Orgs": "European Community [645791]; H2020 Societal Challenges Programme [645791] Funding Source: H2020 Societal Challenges Programme", "Funding Name Preferred": "European Community; H2020 Societal Challenges Programme(Horizon 2020European Union (EU)H2020 Societal Challenges Programme)", "Funding Text": "The work leading to these results has received funding from the European Community's Horizon 2020 Program under grant agreement 645791.

Achieving Europe's broadband access objectives will require large scale investment in next generation broadband networks, and it is imperative that an appropriate investment climate is created to encourage fibre network rollout. This study considers whether and how competition in the DSL market affects the incentives of operators to invest in the deployment of high-end fibre optic networks. Most earlier research on the drivers of investment in broadband technology has focused on the effect of mandatory access policies, such as local loop unbundling, or competing infrastructures. We posit that competition in the DSL sector may also influence fibre penetration, possibly to a considerable extent We find that the relationship between service-based competition and fibre penetration is non-linear: a lack of or severe DSL competition is correlated with a negative effect on fibre penetration, but if a moderate degree of competition is already present in the market, more service-based competition may positively influence fibre penetration. The scale of these effects however varies with the openness of the DSL market: operators' incentives to invest in fibre appear to be more sensitive to changes in DSL competition if there is extensive local loop unbundling.", "Addresses": "[Fourie, Helanya] Econex Consulting Pty Ltd, Stellenbosch, South Africa; [Fourie, Helanya] Stellenbosch Univ, Dept Econ, Stellenbosch, South Africa; [de Bijl, Paul W.

Spillovers through access have two effects (a wholesale-profit effect and a retail-production effect) on infrastructure investment made by vertically integrated firms. When the vertically integrated firms freely set access charges, due to the dominance of the wholesale profit effect, quality differentials endogenously occur between these firms (asymmetric equilibria). When access charges are regulated, symmetric equilibria occur with multiple equilibrium investments due to the retail-production effect.

Next, the paper presents the ICT-enhanced participatory radio campaign approach and ICT innovations introduced by Farm Radio International, a Canadian nongovernmental organization. The paper analyzes two participatory radio campaigns that use both listening groups and ICTs to engage African farmers. Research on these radio campaigns in six African countries is reported to examine how the participatory approach impacted listenership, knowledge and initial adoption of agricultural techniques and practices presented in the radio campaigns. The authors conclude that the findings of research on these projects could be highly relevant for increasing awareness and adoption of agricultural practices in Sub-Saharan Africa. They also appear promising for other development sectors and for other developing regions.", "Addresses": "[Hudson, Heather E.] Univ Alaska Anchorage, Anchorage, AK USA; [Hudson, Heather E.; Leclair, Mark; Pelletier, Bernard; Sullivan, Bartholomew] Farm Radio Int, Ottawa, ON, Canada; [Pelletier, Bernard] McGill Univ, Montreal, PQ, Canada", "Affiliations": "University of Alaska System; University of Alaska Anchorage; McGill University", "Reprint Addresses": "Hudson, HE (corresponding author), Univ Alaska Anchorage, ISER, Anchorage, AK 99508 USA.", "Email Addresses": "hehudson@alaska.edu", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "", "Funding Orgs": "Irish Aid; Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation; Helen Keller International; International Potato Centre and Sweet Potato Action for Security and Health in Africa (SASHA)", "Funding Name Preferred": "Irish Aid(CGIAR); Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation(Bill & Melinda Gates FoundationBill & Melinda Gates Foundation Grand Challenges Explorations InitiativeCGIAR); Helen Keller International; International Potato Centre and Sweet Potato Action for Security and Health in Africa (SASHA)", "Funding Text": "Support for the Interactive Farm Radio Services project was provided by Irish Aid.

Following the conceptual work and based on the case study of specific projects, this paper documents the institutional idiosyncrasies and identifies institutional variables affecting implementation effectiveness in China. If is found that China has fared well in some projects (usually at the construction or technical level) while encountered difficulties in some others (at semantic, service, and even higher levels), due to variance in the enforceability of differing institutional arrangements. China has arguably succeeded, at best, in the supply-side (access level) of the rural informatization ecosystem; this is partly because that the Chinese model has emphasized primarily on the formal side of institutions but considerably less so on the informal side. Accordingly, factors contributing to implementation success have, path-dependently, highlighted the functioning of regulative institutions but considerably less so of the normative-cognitive institutions. Policy implications are offered which call for a shift to the demand-side of the rural informatization ecosystem. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd.

Thus, measuring the countries information development can gain numerous benefits since comparisons and rankings create a major challenge for countries' further advancement and development. The aim of this paper is multiple. It firstly elaborates the term of the information society and examines countries' ICT development. Secondly, it debates on the importance of measurement and ranking, emphasizing the methods of measuring the information society. It reviews the ICT Development Index (IDI) as one of these methods, pointing to its drawbacks. The disadvantages of the IDI are mostly related to its bias and uncertainty. This paper accentuates the importance of the stability and objectiveness of a measurement method, and for this reason it presents the Composite I-distance Indicator (CIDI) methodology for measuring countries' ICT development that overcomes these drawbacks. In the case study, we analysed a dataset of 157 countries. The results presented in this study clearly indicate that the CIDI ranking methodology is unbiased and more stable than the official IDI ranking methodology, and can be used as an appropriate framework for information society evaluation measurement.

While China has traditionally identified three groups of regions, a cluster analysis based on those diffusion characteristics shows that the 31 provinces in China can be classified into six groups. This empirical result implies that the traditional regional classification seems too simple and that the market should be segmented further in order to develop policies more relevant to Chinese mobile telecommunications.

If they were substitutable for a fixed broadband network, Nippon Telegraph and Telephone (NIT) would no longer dominate the last mile access market. Therefore, substitutability between mobile internet access services and fixed broadband access services might be one of the most important empirical questions in the discussion on broadband access market regulations. This study empirically investigates substitutability between mobile and fixed broadband access services by using the original stated preference survey data and simulating the market shares with declining fees of mobile broadband access services. This study considers quality of service (QoS) and security factors realized under next-generation networks (NGNs) or 3.9 G mobile internet access. The result reveals that if tethering, QoS, and security became available via mobile internet access, then mobile and fixed broadband access services would become highly competitive.

We find that growing Internet usage increases the share of 'fixed + mobile' households, which suggests that households keep their fixed-line connection to access Internet. However, the spread of 3G and cable broadband access decreases the share of 'fixed + mobile' households and increases the share of 'mobile only' households. Hence, fixed-to-mobile substitution was slowed down by the spread of Internet but it may continue with the spread of mobile broadband. Furthermore, bundling of telecommunications services increases the share of 'fixed + mobile' households and decreases the shares of 'mobile only' and 'fixed only' households. Therefore, operators which can bundle fixed-line connection with Internet or mobile services may slow down fixed-to-mobile substitution. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd.

In addition, this paper presents a discussion on the policy instruments derived from econometric results. Although repealing the horizontal integration cap in the cable TV industry could generate economies of scale, doing so may encourage monopolization over several franchises. The efficacy of intra-platform competition is reserved only for certain cases. Combining the results of these analyses reveals that inter-platform competition most effectively stimulates cable operators' digital conversion. Hence, regulators should create a level playing field among various TV platforms, such as equal programming access and open standards, to ensure a high degree of cable digitization (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd.

Past studies have shown that lower levels of diffusion of previous technologies and higher levels of income are significant factors in accelerating the take up of 1st and 2nd generation of mobile telephony. In addition, spectrum management policy plays a significant role in shaping 3G diffusion. Regulatory policies regarding spectrum management include mandating band and technology and decisions to hold spectrum auctions. An econometric analysis over a multi-country panel dataset shows that these spectrum management policies do have significant influence on the take-up of 3G. Findings suggest that the presence of multiple technologies for the previous generation is associated with rollout delay. The estimations indicate that countries that mandated a specific frequency band for 3G saw faster roll out, but in the long run those countries experienced a slower growth rate. Also estimations find that 3G diffusion is not significantly affected by the choice of auctions vs. alternative license award processes. Insights gained from this study of the 2G to 3G transition can provide guidance to regulators now contemplating the transition to newer generations. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

As the structure and dynamic complexity of such interactions tend to be difficult to identify, it is challenging for regulators to anticipate the effects of their policy decisions. This article uses system dynamics to evaluate the effect of technology harmonization and mobile number portability policies on mobile voice diffusion and service competition. This is realized by first modeling the endogenous feedback structure resulting in dynamic behavior in the mobile telecommunications market and then by configuring the model for retrospective simulations of the Finnish market. Based on the retrospective simulations, the effect of technology harmonization and mobile number portability policy decisions is analyzed and the usefulness of system dynamics is demonstrated.

The cost modelling relies upon an engineering bottom-up approach that feeds into a competition model. For addressing competition the pyramid model was chosen, which is an extension of the Hotelling model to multiple firms/services. The paper solves for price setting Nash equilibria between an incumbent, wholesale-access-based entrants and cable as an additional fully integrated network competitor. Welfare tradeoffs are highlighted with respect to cost differences and QoS differences between the various FTTH architectures and between the modes of regulation. According to the analysis architectures that can be unbundled (and that allow for greater speeds) outperform, from a social welfare perspective, architectures that (realistically) allow only for bitstream access.

The result is a common framework that addresses the questions of who (e.g. divide between individuals, countries, etc.), with which kinds of characteristics (e.g. income, geography, age, etc.), connects how (mere access or effective adoption), to what (e.g. phones, Internet, digital TV, etc.). Different constellations in these four variables lead to a combinatorial array of choices to define the digital divide. This vast collection of theoretically justifiable definitions is contrasted with the question of how the digital divide is defined in practice by policy makers. The cases of the United States, South Korea, and Chile are used to show that many diverse actors with dissimilar goals are involved in confronting the digital divide. Each of them takes a different outlook on the challenge. This leads to the question if this heterogeneity is harmful and if countries that count with a coherent national strategy and common outlook on digital development do better than others. It is shown that the effect of a coherent vision is secondary to tailor-made sector-specific efforts. On the contrary, a one-size-fits-all outlook on a multifaceted challenge might rather be harmful. This leads to the conclusion that it is neither theoretically feasible, nor empirically justifiable to aim for one single definition of the digital divide. The digital divide is best defined in terms of a desired impact. Since those are diverse, so are the definitions of the challenge. The best that can be done is to come up with a comprehensive theoretical framework that allows for the systematic classification of different definitions, such as the one presented in this article.

In particular, it examines the role of firms' strategies in affecting the intensity of usage and the degree of substitution/complementarity between VoIP and other communications means. It investigates the importance of firms' strategies and compares pure players with the network-based operators, in order to understand whether the existence of bundling offerings as opposed to very low prices may drive consumers of specific companies to use the service more intensively. The results show that, once the control for the characteristics of VoIP providers is included, the customers of telecom operators are more likely to use intensively VoIP services, suggesting that the subscription to bundled service can attract consumers to value added services. Furthermore, those who use frequently VoIP services exploit the PC-to-telephone and Phone-to-Phone functionality suggesting that usage intensity is associated with a higher sophistication of the users more than with the existence of local effects on PC-to-PC applications. Finally, age and work conditions also play a role with respect to the intensity of VoIP usage. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd.

To analyze how value is distributed among the participants, a framework based on theories of firm strategy is applied, and a novel methodology is used to measure value capture in three phone models introduced from 2004 to 2008. The research shows that carriers capture the greatest value (in terms of gross profit) from each handset, followed closely by handset makers, with suppliers a distant third. However, the situation is reversed in terms of operating profit. Carriers shoulder the burden of network installation, maintenance, and upgrading, which absorbs much of the value from their subscription fees. Handset maker nationality, which may also influence supplier choice, is a key determinant of the geographic distribution of value capture. The results are also used to estimate the relationship of handset subsidies to carrier profits, which has been an issue of concern for antitrust authorities in several countries. The analysis shows how the framework can be used to calculate how much service charges might be inflated to cover the subsidies. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd.

This paper develops a static market model with locked-in end users and paid content. It shows that MH and CDNs create the possibility for terminating ISPs to engage in monopolistic pricing towards content providers, leading to a shift of rents from end users and content providers to ISPs.

After controlling for other country variables, first, a test of the impact of ownership and regulatory changes on consumer prices is given. In the second step,. the Eurobarometer data on consumers' satisfaction about quality and prices of the telecommunication service are considered. The analysis confirms the importance of market regulation in reducing prices but minimizes the role played by privatization per se. Overall, the findings offer only mixed evidence, and somehow contradict, the hypothesis that all the reforms work in a similar way across the EU countries. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd.

These use cases will rely on 5G network slicing technology to ensure scalability and individually calibrated Quality of Service (QoS) levels. New electronic communications services ensuring specific QoS levels are subject to EU-net neutrality rules laid down in Regulation (EU) 2015/2120 and are currently being assessed by national regulatory authorities (NRAs) on a case-by-case basis. As acknowledged by the European Commission (EC) in its recent report on the implementation of the provisions of Regulation (EU) 2015/2120, this case-by-case approach results in legal uncertainty and acts as barrier to investments and innovation. In particular, it is often unclear to internet service providers (ISPs) if innovative quality-sensitive content, applications or services may be delivered via specialised services in accordance with Article 3 (5) of Regulation (EU) 2015/2120. The purpose of the article is to show a way to enhance legal certainty in the application of Article 3 (5) of Regulation (EU) 2015/2120 while preserving the fundamental digital rights of end-users regarding equal and non-discriminatory treatment of data traffic by ISPs as well as transparency.

At the same time, digitalization has increasingly been touted as a key pathway for mitigating economic losses from the pandemic, and we expect firms facing digital constraints to be less resilient to supply shocks. This paper uses firmlevel data to investigate whether digitally-enabled firms have been able to mitigate economic losses arising from the pandemic better than digitally-constrained firms in the Middle East and Central Asia region using a difference-in-differences approach. Controlling for demand conditions, we find that digitally-enabled firms faced a lower decline in sales by about 4 percentage points during the pandemic compared to digitally-constrained firms, suggesting that digitalization acted as a hedge during the pandemic. Against this backdrop, our results suggest that policymakers need to close the digital gap and accelerate firms' digital transformation.

Findings indicate that ICTs positively and significantly affect the participation of developing countries in GVCs. This positive and sig-nificant effect of ICTs on countries participation in GVCs can be explained by the fact that ICTs, especially digitalization may help countries improve their competitiveness in the global market as a result of effects on competitive advantages, including price, product and service. Then, the study deeply explores the relationship between ICTs, other control variables and countries' participation in GVCs by employing the Driscoll and Kraay estimator and the Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) technique. The results are robust and confirm the results of the Bayesian approach.

Whereas the European Commission acknowledges the contributions of platform companies to innovation, it also sees actual and potential damages occurring from their powerful position.

The main research question is how the European Commission has been evaluating the competitive effects of platforms under merger control and whether its approach is adequate to address the manifold concerns related to platforms and competition. Based on a case study analysis, we conclude that the European Commission (1) recognises the platform circumstance, their essential intermediary role in the digital industry and the importance of maintaining fair competition; (2) its analysis has been slowly evolving becoming more granular; (3) platforms' behaviour and not their size per se is most often the central concern; (4) the proposed Digital Services Act and Digital Markets Act packages tackle platform concerns identified in the European Commission's ex-ante analysis, signalling that its analysis seems to have inspired their creation.", "Addresses": "[Afilipoaie, Adelaida; Donders, Karen; Ballon, Pieter] Vrije Univ Brussel, SMIT, IMEC, Pl Laan 9,2nd Floor, B-1050 Brussels, Belgium; [Donders, Karen] VRT, Brussels, Belgium", "Affiliations": "Vrije Universiteit Brussel; IMEC", "Reprint Addresses": "Afilipoaie, A (corresponding author), Vrije Univ Brussel, SMIT, IMEC, Pl Laan 9,2nd Floor, B-1050 Brussels, Belgium.", "Email Addresses": "adelaida.afilipoaie@vub.be", "Researcher Ids": "Afilipoaie, Adelaida/HPE-1090-2023; Ballon, Pieter/KGL-1886-2024", "ORCIDs": "Afilipoaie, Adelaida/0000-0002-8866-8536; Ballon, Pieter/0000-0001-6066-3242", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 87.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 0.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 0.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 10.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 28.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

The inclusion of agricultural structures is particularly important, since broadband investment in agricultural zones has been limited to date.

Although digital constitutionalism is encountering growing popularity, the prevalent nonbinding nature of its initiatives, the discrepancy between the jurisdictional border and transnational digital processes, and the technological embedment of governance mechanisms, have hindered the effectiveness of its impact. This paper identifies epistemic communities as a crucial factor for the constitutionalization of the digital technologies since they have the necessary technical expertise and policy commitment to create norms and standards at transnational level, informing the policy choices of both state and non-state actors.

The government has met these challenges by setting forth a series of initiatives that involve the foundation of new physical infrastructures and the creation of novel digital products ? some of which are designed to promote the drive toward cashlessness across the country. Layered atop the creation of these new policies and programs will eventually be increased collection of data and implementation of automated decision-making processes to enable full utility from these new installations. The principal purpose of this paper is to examine the changes to technology infrastructure proposed in the Digital India initiative, conduct a policy analysis thereof with respect specifically to its impact on individual privacy, and identify policy interventions through which possible adverse impacts in these areas for segments of the Indian population could be diminished. We find that several critical policy questions remain unaddressed by the initiative, and that it can promote further bias in the absence of certain equity-promoting interventions and adjustments.

A total of 115 countries are clustered into three groups (Take-off, Fast-Diffusion, and Saturated), categorized by their diffusion rates and diffusion speeds over four years from 2013 to 2016. With pooled and fixed effect panel data models, this paper examines which variables out of 23 explanatory variables were effective in promoting mobile broadband adoption globally. Further, by interacting explanatory variables with two group dummies, this paper identifies differential slope (policy) effects of each explanatory variable on mobile broadband adoption. The paper concludes that, among the three groups, considerable gaps exist in the size of effective policy choice sets: six for Take-off, ten for Fast-diffusion, and thirteen for Saturated, suggesting that the countries in the Take-off stage have a very narrow degree of latitude for developing mobile broadband promotion strategies.", "Addresses": "[Teklemariam, Mekuria Haile; Kwon, Youngsun] Korea Adv Inst Sci & Technol, Sch Business & Technol Management, Coll Business, 291 Daehak Ro, Daejeon 34141, South Korea", "Affiliations": "Korea Advanced Institute of Science & Technology (KAIST)", "Reprint Addresses": "Kwon, Y (corresponding author), Korea Adv Inst Sci & Technol, Sch Business & Technol Management, Coll Business, 291 Daehak Ro, Daejeon 34141, South Korea.", "Email Addresses": "mekuria@kaist.ac.kr; yokwon@kaist.ac.kr", "Researcher Ids": "Kwon, Youngsun/C-1758-2011", "ORCIDs": "Kwon, Youngsun/0000-0003-2438-1349", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 61.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 5.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 5.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 1.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 18.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

FTTC VDSL is the most widespread technology used for NGA network deployments in Europe but the coverage of VDSL networks is still limited in rural areas. FTTdp networks using G.fast have been proposed as a cost-effective and future-proof alternative to FTTH and FTTB especially in rural areas where FTTC and VDSL cannot always deliver service speeds of 30 Mbps which is the minimum bandwidth defined in the European Digital Agenda as a target to be met by 2020. However, the new target of EU Commission for Gigabit Society and 100 Mbps connections, upgradable to 1 Gbps, for all households in 2025 are unlikely to be achieved by VDSL Vectoring and other copper-based technologies. On the other hand, Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) networks based on LTE technology can be used as a last mile solution to provide high-speed broadband access to areas where fixed broadband is limited. LTE technology offers high-speed connections able to support internet browsing and IP services, while it can theoretically support up to 300 Mbps depending on network load and sharing. Thus, it can be considered a viable alternative to other fixed network solutions especially when considering future upgrades to 5G networks that promise gigabit speeds per user. In this paper, a techno-economic study is performed to assess the feasibility of an FWA network deployment based on LTE technology in comparison to FTTdp G.fast and FTTC VDSL network rollout for delivering service speeds of 30 Mbps in rural areas. A variety of different population density, competition and regulation policy scenarios is considered. Cash flow results are presented and standard financial indexes for the business cases are discussed. The results are being assessed through a sensitivity and risk analysis to determine the most influential factors on the return on the investment. Furthermore, the (non) profitability of these cases and the subsidization needed from structural funds are analyzed. The results are aimed to contribute to the debate over network evolution scenarios among academia, industry, regulators, policy makers and governments.", "Addresses": "[Ioannou, Nikos; Katsianis, Dimitris; Varoutas, Dimitris] Natl & Kapodistrian Univ Athens, Fac Sci, Dept Informat & Telecommun, Athens, Greece", "Affiliations": "National & Kapodistrian University of Athens", "Reprint Addresses": "Katsianis, D (corresponding author), Natl & Kapodistrian Univ Athens, Fac Sci, Dept Informat & Telecommun, Athens, Greece.", "Email Addresses": "nikosioannou@di.uoa.gr; D.Katsianis@di.uoa.gr; D.Varoutas@di.uoa.gr", "Researcher Ids": "Varoutas, Dimitris/D-5536-2013; Katsianis, Dimitris/AAF-8769-2019; Ioannou, Nikolaos/V-1310-2018", "ORCIDs": "Varoutas, Dimitris/0000-0002-9101-6221; Katsianis, Dimitris/0000-0002-7094-4029; Ioannou, Nikolaos/0000-0002-5009-4717", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 30.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 17.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 17.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 0.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 8.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

However, their ability to use services such as cloud computing, VoIP, media streaming, high-frequency trading, network gaming, video conferencing and telemedicine, are sensitive to the network quality of service (QoS). We examine the effects of pro-competition regulation on Internet QoS - a measure of digital divide - using 23 indicators of competition from a panel of 160 countries covering 2008-2016. We find that pro-competition regulations had a stronger positive effect on QoS in developed countries compared to developing ones. A one-point increase in the pro-competition score increases QoS, measured as average connection speed, by at least 200 kbps in developed countries. Our results control for supply and demand factors, as well as country-fixed effects. The results are also robust to different measures of average connection speed. We attribute this variation to difficulties in the contracting environment in developed and developing countries, consistent with Levy and Spiller (1996). Countries with better institutional endowments - associated with developed economies - are better able to design and enforce complex regulatory contracts compared to developing countries. Ironically, this means that more pro-competition rules on paper will not necessarily narrow the digital divide between developed and developing countries and that there is a need to consider minimum quality standards as a means to effect improved Internet QoS.", "Addresses": "[Montenegro, Lourdes O.; Araral, Eduardo] Natl Univ Singapore, Lee Kuan Yew Sch Publ Policy, Singapore, Singapore", "Affiliations": "National University of Singapore", "Reprint Addresses": "Montenegro, LO (corresponding author), Natl Univ Singapore, Lee Kuan Yew Sch Publ Policy, Singapore, Singapore.", "Email Addresses": "lourdes.montenegro@u.nus.edu", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "Araral, Eduardo/0000-0002-9309-1866", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 45.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 3.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 3.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 2.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 19.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

Based on the empirical evidence collected by means of ten expert interviews, the following considerations are drawn: first, the European Commission (hereafter the Commission) weighs highly information provided by corporate stakeholders which is in line with the EU objective to promote EU-wide coordinated use of radio spectrum. Second, the way the Council of the EU (hereafter the Council) is lobbied at EU level is unclear because of lack of transparency in the Council. Third, radio spectrum policy issues require niche expertise to be addressed because of high degree of complexity. Fourth, radio spectrum policy issues are characterised by low degree of salience as they are too technical for the wider public. Although centred on the EU context, the issues raised in this study, such as lack of transparency and civil society underrepresentation, are not unique to the EU system. In this respect, comparative studies between the EU and other institutional contexts may contribute to a better understanding of variation in business lobbying.", "Addresses": "[Massaro, Maria] Chalmers Univ Technol, Dept Technol Management & Econ, Vera Sandbergs Alle 8, S-41296 Gothenburg, Sweden", "Affiliations": "Chalmers University of Technology", "Reprint Addresses": "Massaro, M (corresponding author), Chalmers Univ Technol, Dept Technol Management & Econ, Vera Sandbergs Alle 8, S-41296 Gothenburg, Sweden.", "Email Addresses": "massaro@chalmers.se", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "Massaro, Maria/0000-0002-8007-0839", "Funding Orgs": "Forskraftstiftelsen Theodor Adelswards minne", "Funding Name Preferred": "Forskraftstiftelsen Theodor Adelswards minne", "Funding Text": "This paper is a revised version of a conference paper which was awarded the third best student prize award at the 22nd Biennial Conference of the International Telecommunication Society (ITS), organised between 24th-27th June 2018, in Seoul, South Korea.

By exploiting original open Government data and sources, we analyse the main domains of the EU SA policy, and assess whether its ex ante goals have been met in Italy. Four main results stand out. First, the plan extended the FGB coverage of rural areas, although with a substantial delay and incompletely, with respect to the ambitious targets of the Digital Agenda for Europe. Second, public consultations have significantly increased the transparency of the market and of the SA intervention, promoting investment and a gradual increase in the efficiency of public procurement. Third, the direct effects of SA on competitive entry appear less pronounced, at least in the static sense.

However, developing countries typically have significantly lower levels of intemet penetration and usage. Market power in respect of internet access looks quite different given that mobile is the predominant means of connection and there are often three or more mobile operators. In South Africa, there is a quasi-monopoly in the paid satellite broadcasting market and broadband providers zero-rating content from third parties (such as Netflix) may bring about more competition. We test the main theories of harm arising in the net neutrality debate, including network operator market power and exclusion among content providers using data on the number of announced prefixes and peers and IP addresses and considering examples of bundling and zero-rating conduct by operators. We find that net neutrality rules are less likely to be required in South Africa and other developing countries and that strict enforcement of such rules could in fact hinder competition in markets for content, telecommunications networks and other related markets.", "Addresses": "[Robb, Genna] Univ Johannesburg, Johannesburg, South Africa; [Hawthorne, Ryan] Univ Cape Town, Rondebosch, South Africa", "Affiliations": "University of Johannesburg; University of Cape Town", "Reprint Addresses": "Robb, G (corresponding author), Univ Johannesburg, Johannesburg, South Africa.", "Email Addresses": "genna@acaciaeconomics.co.za; ryan@acaciaeconomics.co.za", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "Hawthorne, Ryan/0000-0003-1817-2874", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 29.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 9.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 9.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 1.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 10.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

The study makes three contributions. First, it provides new evidence that pursuing smart city development (SCD) is not a mere alternative but a crucial strategic imperative. While facing persistent problems, Vietnam's cities exhibit significant and rapidly improving readiness for SCD. Second, the study provides new insights into related policy issues and challenges, including the positive link between e-government development and control of corruption, the risk of bias toward operational management over institutional reform, and the lack of a clear development strategy.

We propose an efficient auction mechanism to incentivise incumbent users to offer shared access to the spectrum they use. The mechanism consists of two stages. In the first stage, LSA licences are auctioned. In the second stage, the incumbent is provided with a choice of either granting access under an LSA agreement to the winner of the auction or not. If the incumbent accepts, its existing licence fee is reduced, whereas, if it rejects, its existing licence fee is increased.

This study uses a unique dataset based on a survey in France, combined with interviewee's telecommunications billing data, to reveal heterogeneous consumer preferences for fixed services. With the same mixed logit model we estimate the willingness to pay (WTP) for fixed communications services and fixed-mobile relationship. Results show a very large heterogeneity of WTP for fixed services among consumers. In addition, we show that fixed and mobile data are complement for all consumers. Mobile-only consumers have a much lower but non-zero WTP, and higher price sensitivity compared to fixed-mobile consumers. Consequently, an increase in the fixed offer price would reduce the demand for fixed service. Heterogeneous preferences for fixed services constitute an alternative explanation for the existence of mobile-only users, despite the complementary nature of fixed and mobile broadband. Counter-factual simulations show that the share of mobile-only could also be driven by the way to subsidize mobile handset. For instance, making the handset subsidy only available to fixed-mobile quadruple play subscribers could reduce the share of mobile-only by half.", "Addresses": "[Liang, Julienne] Orange, 78 Rue Olivier de Serres, F-75505 Paris 15, France; [Petulowa, Marc] Dept Regulat & Anal Econ POST Grp, 8a Ave Monterey, L-2020 Luxembourg, Luxembourg", "Affiliations": "", "Reprint Addresses": "Liang, J (corresponding author), Orange, 78 Rue Olivier de Serres, F-75505 Paris 15, France.", "Email Addresses": "julienne.liang@orange.com", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 17.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 0.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 0.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 1.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 8.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

Due to scale economies and sunk costs, the roll-out of NGA is expected to be profitable only for large-scale providers and in densely populated areas. Nonetheless, alternative providers, such as utilities and local communities, have significantly contributed to NGA diffusion in many countries. Over the past five years, several small-scale initiatives have emerged in the UK, bringing fibre networks to urban and rural areas previously overlooked by either commercial or subsidised deployments. A multiple case study approach is employed here to explore the nature and the drivers of niche providers in the UK NGA market. All these initiatives are demand-driven and to follow a modular approach. Despite adopting different business models, they all rely on the resources inherited from past broadband initiatives and relationships with local partners. By investigating the strategies of niche providers in NGA market, this analysis sheds light on their contribution to bridging the digital divide in the UK and is presented as a preliminary assessment of their sustainability and potential growth.", "Addresses": "[Gerli, Paolo; Wainwright, David; Whalley, Jason] Northumbria Univ, Newcastle Business Sch, Newcastle, Tyne & Wear, England", "Affiliations": "Northumbria University", "Reprint Addresses": "Gerli, P (corresponding author), Northumbria Univ, Newcastle Business Sch, Newcastle, Tyne & Wear, England.", "Email Addresses": "paolo.gerli@northumbria.ac.uk", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "Gerli, Paolo/0000-0003-4290-2136", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 97.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 8.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 8.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 3.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 19.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

In order to address this problem, governments across Africa have established universal service funds (USF) as their universal service strategy. Nonetheless, various studies have suggested that the problem of limited coverage remains unaddressed due, in part, to the poor implementation of USF. This raises the question as to why USF have failed to address the limited coverage of telecommunication services in Africa? We seek to answer this question by investigating the interplay between market liberalisation and universal service using a multiple case study approach with examples drawn from across the continent. We find that poor policy formulation limits the implementation of an effective USF model in Africa. In addition, inadequate stakeholder engagement, lack of accountability, inaccurate data, undue political influence and the narrow scope of universal service all impinge on the ability of USF to achieve their objectives. We, therefore, propose the need for future research to address these challenges and develop our framework to unravel some of the intractable areas of universal service such as determining what services should fall within the scope of universal service and how to prevent policy redundancy in a fast moving industry such as mobile telecommunications.", "Addresses": "[Arakpogun, Emmanuel Ogiemwonyi; Wanjiru, Roseline; Whalley, Jason] Northumbria Univ, Newcastle Business Sch, Newcastle Upon Tyne, Tyne & Wear, England; [Whalley, Jason] Inst Mines & Telecoms, TELECOM Ecole Management, Evry, France", "Affiliations": "Newcastle University - UK; Northumbria University", "Reprint Addresses": "Arakpogun, EO (corresponding author), Northumbria Univ, Newcastle Business Sch, Newcastle Upon Tyne, Tyne & Wear, England.", "Email Addresses": "emmanuel.arakpogun@northumbria.ac.uk", "Researcher Ids": "Arakpogun, Emmanuel/AAJ-6958-2021", "ORCIDs": "", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 119.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 13.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 14.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 0.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 8.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

Using firm level data and instrumental variable estimation strategy, it finds that the relationship is inverted-U shaped. The investment maximising intensity of competition is reached when operators' gross profits represent 37 or 40 per cent of their revenues, depending on whether capital expenditures are normalised by the number of subscribers. This finding means that investment increases with competition as long as operators' profits are above the thresholds of 37 or 40 per cent of their revenues. Under these thresholds, there is a tradeoff between competition and investment. The paper also finds a significant long run effect of competition on investment which amplifies the short run effect by a factor of 3-4. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd.

However, despite a series of studies on the drivers of cloud adoption, evidence of its economic effects is lacking, possibly because many of the datasets on cloud computing are of insufficient size and often lack a time dimension as well as precise definitions of cloud computing, thus making them unsuitable for rigorous quantitative analysis. To overcome these limitations, we propose a proxy variable for cloud computing usage cloud adaptiveness based on survey panel data from European firms. Observations based on a descriptive analysis suggest three important aspects for further research. First, cloud studies should be conducted at the industry level as cloud computing adaptiveness differs widely across industry sectors. Second, it is important to know what firms do with cloud computing to understand the economic mechanisms and effects triggered by this innovation. And third, cloud adaptiveness is potentially correlated to a firm's position in the supply chain and thus the type of output it produces as well as the market in which it operates. Our indicator can be employed to further analyze the effects of cloud computing in the context of firm heterogeneity. (C) 2015 The Authors.

Mobile phones are reported to have a positive and significant impact on the overall economic performance of individuals and the growth of a country. In India, however, the adoption pace of mobile telephony in rural regions is slower than that in urban areas. We examine the differences in the intention to adopt mobile telephony across different segments of the rural Indian population using the extended technology acceptance model (TAM), partial least squares regression, and multigroup analysis. Results suggest that gender, age, technology subscription, and region play a moderating role on the relationships in the extended TAM for rural India. These findings can help service providers design and develop group-specific offerings that lead to faster adoption of mobile telephony in rural India. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd.

In this paper a systematic study of production functions for wireless markets is undertaken, using data from India. The efficacy of two major functional forms, the Cobb Douglas and the translog functions, are compared by benchmarking the values of spectrum they yield against the values generated by the intuitive but data-intensive cash flow method, and the prices revealed in two auctions. The comparisons allow us to conclude that factoring the lumpy nature of spectrum use by considering 'effective spectrum' data rather than raw spectrum data, and relaxing the assumption of constant elasticity of substitution are useful in obtaining accurate estimates of spectrum value.

It draws on in-depth case studies of South Africa, Namibia and Kenya where regulators have reduced termination rates towards the cost of an efficient operator. To varying degrees these have all led to lower retail prices and significant market expansion. While retail prices in both Namibia and Kenya dropped following substantial termination rate reductions, the South African case demonstrates that termination rate reductions are not always passed on to consumers as is hoped by such regulatory interventions. In South Africa, it was only after the second reduction in March 2012 that smaller operators were able to reduce their off-net prices to a level that could tempt the subscribers to dominant operators to switch. All the case studies confirm nevertheless that retail prices do not go up in response to termination rates going down as contended by dominant mobile operators around the world. This is in contrast to a body of literature stating that termination rates and mobile retail prices constitute a two-sided market and that termination rate reductions will lead to a so-called waterbed effect.

The empirical results show that the corporate efficiency of those companies that implemented CSR was higher than that of those companies that did not. In the second stage, the study adopts OLS and 2SLS to explore the influence of the execution level of CSR on performance. The results show that the Kinder, Lyndenberg, and Domini & Co (KLD) social ratings indexes are significantly and positively related to corporate performance.

In doing so, it looks at the characteristics of the two countries in terms of competition and entry of new operators, at the motivations behind the entry of MVNOs, and at the performance of different companies. Results show that the most successful MVNOs are those characterized by the ability to find a perfect match between their core competencies (large network management, strong brand reputation) and the needs of specific segments of demand that had not been previously fulfilled. In this context, companies with ICT network management skills, whether coming from the telecom sector or from other network-based service industries such as postal operators, have been particularly successful in the market. From a policy perspective, despite the failure of some MVNOs, customers have benefited from the increased competition between MNOs and MVNOs in terms of range of service offerings and prices.

Even if incumbent carriers continue to provide basic telephone services via wireless facilities, they will benefit from substantial relaxation of common carriage duties, no longer having to serve as the carrier of last resort and having the opportunity to decide whether and where to provide service. On the other hand, incumbent carriers may have underestimated the substantial financial and marketplace advantages they also will likely lose in the deregulatory process. Legislators and policy makers also may have underestimated the impact of no longer having the ability to impose common carrier mandates that require carriers to interconnect so that end users have complete access to network services regardless of location. This paper will identify the potential problems resulting from prospective decisions by National Regulatory Authorities (NRAs), such as the United States Federal Communications Commission (FCC), to grant authority for telecommunications service providers to discontinue PSTN services. The paper also will consider whether in the absence of common carrier duties, private carriers providing telephone services, including Voice over the Internet Protocol (VoIP), voluntarily will agree to interconnect their networks. The paper will examine three recent carrier interconnection issues with an eye toward assessing whether a largely unregulated marketplace will create incentives for carriers to interconnect networks so that consumers will have ubiquitous access to PSTN replacement and other broadband services. The paper concludes that private carrier interconnection models and information service regulatory oversight may not solve all disputes, or promote universal service public policy goals. Recent Internet interconnection and television program carriage disputes involving major players such as Comcast, Level 3, Fox, Cablevision and Google point to the possibility of increasingly contentious negotiations that could result in balkanized telecommunications networks with at least temporary blockages to desired content and services by some consumers.

It is currently attempting international standardization of its indigenous technologies. This paper examines how China's approach for standardization has evolved in the cases of locally developed 3G and 4G mobile standards: TD-SCDMA and TD-LTE. The authors address the question in terms of alliance formation. They apply network analysis, which visualizes the formation and transformation of alliances. They argue that China's approach to standardization has evolved from techno-nationalism to techno-globalism. In building, developing, and maintaining alliances, relatively more weight is placed on links with foreign firms over time than on those with local firms, and China is increasingly open to foreign firms to gain their support and cooperation, which is required for international standardization and commercialization of locally-developed standards. This study makes a contribution in that it applies a quantitative method of network analysis and thereby visualizes the formation of alliances in 3G and 4G mobile communication industries.

This paper asks, with an in-depth study of a selection of recent South Korean and Chinese infrastructural ICT standards, to what degree it is warranted to correlate the production of standards with dependency-breaking technological capacity. A composite picture is found. On one side, a large portion of promoted domestic standards are creative imitations of foreign technologies with limited, if any, proportions of embedded domestic patents. This indicates a lack of capacity for challenging technological dependence. On the other side, several of the technologies studied signal emerging South Korean and Chinese capacity for embedding cutting-edge patents in infrastructural ICE standards when participating in global standardisation consortiums.

The standardization policy system comprising the supply, demand, and environment policy tool types has evolved during standardization development process, which includes three sequential stages: 1) the following-up stage, 2) the catch-up stage, and 3) the upgrading stage. In responding to changes in institutional, economic and technological contexts, the policy orientation has transformed from supporting the government-controlled adoption and standardization of foreign technologies in the following-up stage of standardization development process to developing indigenous standards owning independent intellectual property rights (IPRs) through the government-led standardization system in the catch-up stage, and to international standardization adopting both government-led and market mechanisms in the upgrading stage. In this process, the Chinese Government continued to offer policy support to but tended to relax its control over standardization. Of the three policy tool types, the supply type have remained the dominant ones; the weight of the environment-type of tools tended to decrease, and that of the demand-type of tools tended to increase.

The change has been spurred by disruptive ef-ficiencies in digital platforms. First, information distribution has been altered by near-costless electronic reproduction. Second, traditional bundles - packaging editorial content of publica-tions or broadcast networks with general-interest advertising messages - have been eclipsed by competitively superior news aggregation hubs. Third, specialized content, including advertising, has become more easily targeted and better supplied via long tails. Fourth, the democratization of publishing has transformed editing into platform mediation. The resulting changes in market organization have made vastly higher volumes of news and public affairs information - from exponentially more sources - easily available to mass market consumers. In so doing, they have rendered the Walter Cronkite consensus obsolete, creating social controversy and considerable backlash.

These changes will be much more pervasive than any previous introduction of new mobile 'generations' and they are expected to influence the whole economy. For this reason, the global rush for 5G technology is not only considered crucial in economic or technological terms, but also for its implications in terms of geopolitics, international policy and national security. This paper presents an analysis of the patents in the most relevant fields of specialization connected to the 5G development. The period under investigation is from 2010 to 2019, and the data are extracted from the European Patent Office (EPO) and the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) database. The analysis shows how the technologies and the specialisations needed to develop 5G are in the hands of a few countries around the globe, and how single European countries, taken in isolation, are not among those leading players. However, Europe, considered as a whole, competes well with the US and Asia in terms of patented innovations, suggesting the economic and strategic relevance of strengthening cooperation within the EU.", "Addresses": "[Parcu, Pier Luigi; Innocenti, Niccolo; Carrozza, Chiara] European Univ Inst, Robert Schuman Ctr Adv Studies, Florence Sch Regulat, Via Boccaccio 121, I-50133 Florence, Italy", "Affiliations": "European University Institute", "Reprint Addresses": "Innocenti, N (corresponding author), European Univ Inst, Robert Schuman Ctr Adv Studies, Florence Sch Regulat, Via Boccaccio 121, I-50133 Florence, Italy.", "Email Addresses": "niccolo.innocenti@eui.eu", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "Innocenti, Niccolo/0000-0001-8421-5479; PARCU, Pier Luigi/0000-0003-2156-7308", "Funding Orgs": "Qualcomm Inc", "Funding Name Preferred": "Qualcomm Inc", "Funding Text": "We are indebted to the three anonymous referees and the Editor in Chief, Professor Erik Bohlin, for their valuable suggestions.

The proposed method relies on a partial equilibrium simulation approach and estimates the welfare impacts on current consumers and the potential welfare effects among new consumers brought into the market by changes in prices due to competition. This approach is applied to the information and communication technology (ICT) sector in Ethiopia, one of the three countries in the world with a monopoly in the market for mobile phone services. Based on household budget survey data for 2015/16 and departing from a baseline reform scenario that dilutes the market share of the state-owned monopoly to 45 percent, the simulation model estimates a 25.3 percent reduction in the price of mobile services and an increase in 5.7 million new users of mobile services. The predicted drop in prices and increased users would generate a combined relative welfare gain of 1.18 percent (1.09 percent among current users and 0.09 percent among new users), that could be translated into a 0.31 percentage point decline in the national poverty rate and equivalent to lifting about 275,000 people out of poverty. Alternative reform scenarios that dilute the market share of the monopoly to 75 percent and to 30 percent are expected to reduce poverty rate in 0.13 and 0.52 percentage points, respectively. The method proposed in this study represents a useful tool for promoting competition reforms in developing countries, particularly in sectors known for excluding significant segments of the population because of high consumer prices.", "Addresses": "[Rodriguez-Castelan, Carlos; Malasquez, Eduardo A.; Ochoa, Rogelio Granguillhome] World Bank, Poverty & Equ Global Practice, 1818 H St NW, Washington, DC 20433 USA; [Araar, Abdelkrim] Univ Laval, Quebec City, PQ, Canada; [Araar, Abdelkrim] World Bank, 1818 H St NW, Washington, DC 20433 USA; [Araar, Abdelkrim] Partnership Econ Policy, Nairobi, Kenya", "Affiliations": "The World Bank; Laval University; The World Bank", "Reprint Addresses": "Malásquez, EA (corresponding author), World Bank, Poverty & Equ Global Practice, 1818 H St NW, Washington, DC 20433 USA.", "Email Addresses": "crodriguezc@worldbank.org; araar.abdelkrim@ecn.ulaval.ca; emalasquez@worldbank.org; rgranguillhomeoc@worldbank.org", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "Malasquez, Eduardo A./0000-0001-9726-5272", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 56.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 0.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 0.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 0.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 6.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

This paper investigates the inequalities of opportunity in the access and use of telecommunication services in Togo using a parametric approach. The results of estimations indicate that, inequalities of opportunities are larger for men and the elderly than respectively women and youths and are more pronounced in urban areas and regions such as the Plateaux and Savanna regions. Moreover, the circumstance variables such as the ?place of residence? and the ?region? are the key variables in explaining the inequalities of opportunities in the access and use of telecommunication services in Togo. So, policies toward reducing inequalities of opportunity in the access and use of telecommunication services in Togo should be designed with regards to men, the elderly, and people living in urban areas and regions such as the Plateaux and Savanna regions.", "Addresses": "[Wonyra, Kwami Ossadzifo; Sanoussi, Yacobou; Lanie, Tomgouani] Univ Kara, Lab Rech Sci Econ & Gest LaRSEG FaSEG, POB 404, Kara, Togo; [Sy, Ibrahima] Univ Catholique Afrique Ouest, Inst Sci Econ & Gest, Lome, Togo", "Affiliations": "", "Reprint Addresses": "Lanie, T (corresponding author), Univ Kara, Lab Rech Sci Econ & Gest LaRSEG FaSEG, POB 404, Kara, Togo.", "Email Addresses": "wonyra.ossa@gmail.com; syacobou@gmail.com; himrasy@yahoo.fr; lanietomgouani@gmail.com", "Researcher Ids": "WONYRA, Kwami Ossadzifo/HZK-7341-2023; LANIE, Tomgouani/AAH-7744-2021", "ORCIDs": "LANIE, Tomgouani/0000-0001-8899-4959; SY, Ibrahima/0000-0002-9795-450X", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 42.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 1.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 1.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 1.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 4.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

(2019, RP) in order to understand the greater diffusion of mobile money innovations in Africa. To make this assessment, a comparative analysis is engaged between sampled African countries and the corresponding sampled developing countries. Three main types of predictor groups are used for the study, namely: demand, supply and macro-level factors. The empirical evidence is based on Tobit regressions. The tested hypothesis is confirmed because from a comparative analysis between African-specific estimates and those of the sampled countries, not all factors driving mobile money innovations in Africa are apparent in the findings of Lashitew et al. (2019). An extended analysis is also performed to take on board the concern of multicollinearity from which, the best estimators from the study are derived. Comparative findings from correlation analysis show that an African specificity is largely traceable to the `unique mobile subscription rate' variable. An in-depth empirical analysis further confirms an African specificity in the outcome variables (especially in the mobile used to send/ receive money) which, may be traceable to informal sector variables not documented in Lashitew et al. (2019).

In this context, digital information and communications technologies (ICTs) are of increasing importance as a means for people to gain access to health or social services, employment opportunities, information and social networks. In this article we draw on our recent case study research to examine the policy (and politics) shaping implementation of Australia's National Broadband Network (NBN) and its likely effects on equity of access to high speed broadband (HSB) services. We monitored NBN policy and implementation from 2015 to 2018 through policy documents, reports, and media. To assess likely effects of NBN policy on implementation and subsequently on equity of access to HSB we: a) applied a framework defining four elements of equity of access; and b) analysed stakeholder views drawn from media articles and 22 interviews with experts on NBN policy including politicians, government staff, and industry representatives. We found that equity considerations competed with political and commercial imperatives during the rollout of the NBN. This resulted in positive and negative consequences for equity of access to HSB, with a change in policy and implementation in 2013 bringing greater risks to equity of access. The case study provides a framework for considering equity in the implementation of next generation telecommunications infrastructure and high-lights the importance of considering equity in the evaluation of telecommunications infrastructure.", "Addresses": "[Fisher, Matthew; Freeman, Toby; Baum, Fran] Flinders Univ S Australia, NHMRC Ctr Res Excellence Social Determinants Hlth, Southgate Inst Hlth Soc & Equ, GPO Box 2100, Adelaide, SA 5001, Australia; [Schram, Ashley; Friel, Sharon] Australian Natl Univ, NHMRC Ctr Res Excellence Social Determinants Hlth, RegNet Sch Regulat & Global Governance, Canberra, ACT, Australia", "Affiliations": "Flinders University South Australia; Australian National University", "Reprint Addresses": "Fisher, M (corresponding author), Flinders Univ S Australia, NHMRC Ctr Res Excellence Social Determinants Hlth, Southgate Inst Hlth Soc & Equ, GPO Box 2100, Adelaide, SA 5001, Australia.", "Email Addresses": "matt.fisher@flinders.edu.au", "Researcher Ids": "Baum, Fran/AGN-4014-2022; Freeman, Toby/GXV-3652-2022; Baum, Fran/AAJ-1896-2021", "ORCIDs": "Baum, Fran/0000-0002-2294-1368; Fisher, Matthew/0000-0003-3756-1146; Schram, Ashley/0000-0001-5231-6291", "Funding Orgs": "Centre of Research Excellence grant from the Australian National Health and Medical Research Council [APP1078046]", "Funding Name Preferred": "Centre of Research Excellence grant from the Australian National Health and Medical Research Council(National Health & Medical Research Council (NHMRC) of Australia)", "Funding Text": "This work was supported by a Centre of Research Excellence grant from the Australian National Health and Medical Research Council (grant #APP1078046).

For the first time in history, the Office of Electronic Communications decided to award spectrum by using an auction process. Polish regulators implemented a simultaneous multiple-round ascending-bid auction, which was widely used worldwide for selling spectrum. The process leading to the auction and the auction itself was lengthy and eventful. Due to the wrong auction design, the auction dragged on indefinitely, causing a delay in spectrum distribution. The auction ended only as a result of the government's intervention, after 8 months (513 rounds) of bidding that raised revenue of over PLN 9 billion (over EUR 2 billion).

This paper evaluates the status and prospects of China's AI innovation ecosystem by developing a Triple Helix framework particularized for this case. Based on an in-depth qualitative study and on interviews with experts, the analysis section summarizes the way in which the AI innovation ecosystem in China is being built, which are the key features of the three spheres of the Triple Helix-governments, industry and academic/research institutions-as well as the dynamic context of the ecosystem through the identification of main aspects related to the flows of skills, knowledge and funding and the interactions among them. Using this approach, the discussion section illustrates the specificities of the AI innovation ecosystem in China, its strengths and its gaps, and which are its prospects. Overall, this revisited ecosystem approach permits the authors to address the complexity of emerging environments of innovation to draw meaningful conclusions which are not possible with mere observation. The results show how a favourable context, the broad adoption rate and the competition for talent and capital among regionalspecialized clusters are boosting the advance of AI in China, mainly in the business to customer arena.

Frequently, the two are mixed and confused despite being different issues and areas of knowledge. The ethical debate raises two main problems: the first, conceptual, relates to the idea and content of ethics; the second, functional, concerns its relationship with law. Both establish models of social behaviour, but they are different in scope and nature. The juridical analysis is based on a non-formalistic scientific methodology. This means that it is necessary to consider the nature and characteristics of the AI as a preliminary step to the definition of its legal paradigm. In this regard, there are two main issues: the relationship between artificial and human intelligence and the question of the unitary or diverse nature of the AI. From that theoretical and practical basis, the study of the legal system is carried out by examining its foundations, the governance model and the regulatory bases. According to this analysis, throughout the work and in the conclusions, International Law is identified as the principal legal framework for the regulation of AI.", "Addresses": "[Robles Carrillo, Margarita] Univ Granada, Network Engn & Secur Grp, Granada, Spain", "Affiliations": "University of Granada", "Reprint Addresses": "Carrillo, MR (corresponding author), Univ Granada, Network Engn & Secur Grp, Granada, Spain.", "Email Addresses": "mrobles@ugr.es", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "Robles Carrillo, Margarita/0000-0002-6324-4665", "Funding Orgs": "Spanish Government-MINECO; FEDER; European Union, Spain [TIN 2017-83494-R]", "Funding Name Preferred": "Spanish Government-MINECO(Spanish Government); FEDER(European Union (EU)Spanish Government); European Union, Spain(European Union (EU))", "Funding Text": "This work has been partially supported by Spanish Government-MINECO and FEDER, European Union, Spain funds, through project TIN 2017-83494-R.", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 75.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 29.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 34.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 29.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 151.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

We examine user priorities over the allocation of their time, and interpret that behavior in light of policy discussions over universal service, data caps, and related policy topics, such as merger analysis. Specifically, we use extensive microdata on user online choice to characterize the demand for the services offered online, which drives a household's supply of attention. Our data cover a period of time that saw the introduction of many new and notable sites and new devices on which to access them. In our analysis, we assess how households supply their attention along various dimensions, such as their concentration of attention across the universe of sites and the amount of attention expenditure per domain visit. Remarkably, we find no change in how households allocated their attention despite drastically changing where they allocated it. Moreover, conditional on total attention expenditure, demographics entirely fail to predict our key measures of attention allocation decisions. We highlight several important implications, for policy and beyond, stemming from the persistence and demographic orthogonality of our novel attention measures.", "Addresses": "[Boik, Andre] Univ Calif Davis, Dept Econ, Davis, CA 95616 USA; [Greenstein, Shane] Harvard Sch Business, Dept Technol & Operat Management, Boston, MA USA; [Prince, Jeffrey] Indiana Univ, Dept Business Econ & Publ Policy, Kelley Sch Business, Bloomington, IN 47405 USA", "Affiliations": "University of California System; University of California Davis; Harvard University; Indiana University System; IU Kelley School of Business; Indiana University Bloomington", "Reprint Addresses": "Prince, J (corresponding author), Indiana Univ, Dept Business Econ & Publ Policy, Kelley Sch Business, Bloomington, IN 47405 USA.", "Email Addresses": "aboik@ucdavis.edu; sgreenstein@hbs.edu; jeffprin@indiana.edu", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "Prince, Jeffrey/0000-0003-4844-8624", "Funding Orgs": "Kelley School of Business; Harvard Business School", "Funding Name Preferred": "Kelley School of Business; Harvard Business School", "Funding Text": "We thank the Kelley School of Business and the Harvard Business School for funding.

For short-term performance, this study investigates abnormal market returns of bidding firms after M&A announcements and our study shows that telecommunications carrier M&A announcements do result in a significant increase in shareholder wealth in the short run. However, from a long-term perspective, which has been investigated in terms of the survival rate and the operating performance after M&As, the telcos experience a statistically significant decrease of up to 10%.

One set of estimates claims that the royalty stack is on the order of 20-40 percent of the value of the average phone. In order to assess this claim, we estimate the average cumulative royalty yield the sum total of patent royalty payments earned by licensors, divided by the total value of mobile phones shipped in the world mobile phone industry between 2007 and 2016. We follow the money and identify, with varying accuracy, 39 potential licensors in the smartphone value chain. We find that, of these, only 29 charged royalties in 2016, running from a low of $1.6 million to a high of $7.7 billion, summing to $14.2 billion in total, which compares with $425.1 billion in mobile phone sales.

In most implementations, the SIM card has been the main technical component to secure payments. Currently, mobile payment providers are increasingly planning to place the Secure Element (SE) for authentication in the handset or cloud, rather than on the SIM card. This paper unveils factors that influence stakeholder preferences for the SE location. To structure the analysis, we use a multi-level framework based on concepts borrowed from multi-sided platform theory. Using interviews with stakeholders, we elicit themes and preferences for each level of the framework (provider, technology, and user).

As these two phenomena are the two components of consumer lock-in, omitting one of them likely results in biased estimates of the second, limiting applicability to policy relevant questions. Yet, there have been only a few attempts to integrate them into one model of subscriber behavior. Our study adds to this stream of research by applying a discrete choice experiment designed specifically to model subscription choices on a representative sample of mobile phone users in Poland. We find that the effective prices of calls appear to be a major determinant of operator choice. Switching costs continue to affect consumer behavior despite the introduction of number portability. Local network effects represent a smaller, albeit significant, component of consumer lock-in. Subscribers are heterogeneous with respect to the magnitudes of both lock-in components.

Thus, a regulatory non-commitment setting in which the regulator sets the access price after the deployment of the NGA network is used. In particular, it is assumed that the regulator sets the access price at the marginal cost of providing the access with some probability and gives an access markup, which equals the average cost of the investments, with the complementary probability. It is found that when the slope of the marginal investment cost function is not particularly steep in relation to the impact of investments on demand, the incumbent underinvests compared to the socially optimal investment level. On the contrary, in a more realistic case when the impact of investments on demand is low in relation to the slope of the marginal investment cost function, the incumbent may overinvest or underinvest depending on the probability of incorporating an access markup into the access price.

The entrant has the option to enter the market with or without having preliminary invested in its own infrastructure; in case of facility based entry, the entrant has also the option to invest in the provision of enhanced services. In the case of resale based entry the entrant needs access to the incumbent network. Unlike the rival, the incumbent has always the option to upgrade the existing network to provide advanced services. We study the impact of access regulation on the type of entry and on firms' investments. We find that without regulation the incumbent sets the access charge to prevent resale based entry and this generates a social inefficient level of facility based entry.

In particular, infrastructure investment by incumbent mobile network operators (MNOs) may be smaller. This paper examines the effects of MVNO entry and access regulation on the investment behavior of MNOs. It uses firm-level data for 58 MNOs in 21 OECD countries during 2000-2008. The results suggest that mandated provision of access is related to lower investment intensity of MNOs, while voluntary access provision has no effect. Although reduced investment incentives do not necessarily correspond to under-investment, this underscores the need for those countries where MVNOs are provided access to address the issue of investment incentives.

Universal service in voice telephony is generally taken for granted in the United States. However, recent data from the FCC shows a significant decline in the number of U.S. households that have a telephone of any kind (including mobile), from a peak in telephone penetration of 95.5% in March 2003 down to 92.9% in November 2005. This decline is both statistically significant and meaningful, as approximately 2.6% of U.S. households could not easily reach 911 for emergencies. This study uses regression analysis of state-level data to determine what drove this decline in universal service. The results demonstrate that the recent decline in universal service in the U.S. is driven by an increase in black population, inadequate consumer protection laws, and increases in wireless telephones per capita. Lifeline effectiveness does not appear to mitigate the decline in penetration, while Link-Up effectiveness may have a limited effect. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd.

The findings from the analysis of 363 survey responses indicate that traditional and contemporary telecommunication services offer different specializations to satisfy their consumers. Overall, mobile telecommunication services partially replace wired services, on personal gratifications dimensions in particular. The system gratifications dimensions of the wired telecommunication services facilitate the existence of wired services. New telecommunication services (3G and VoIP) partially replace old telecommunication services (home landline and 2G) in providing greater satisfaction in entertainment. The results also demonstrate that VoIP does not impose competitive displacement effects on home landline, 2G, and 3G services. Limitation and suggestions are discussed. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd.

The results suggest that growth effects vary widely across country groupings reflecting different levels of development. Mainline tele-density and per capita growth strongly reinforce each other for countries that are relatively less developed. The reinforcement effect is even stronger for emerging countries that can be identified by their higher than average growth rates. In contrast, there is, at best, weak evidence of bi-directional causal links between the two variables for countries that are relatively more developed.

However, reform legislation offers few clues as to how these objectives should rank when they conflict with one another. An 'innocent' prior acquisition of service-neutral spectrum at an efficiently run auction may prove allocative efficient but fail to be technically efficient if the spectrum is left fallow in the short term. Accountability for the productive usage of a public resource and pressures from short-term political cycles may induce regulators to mandate some minimal level of activity. Two plausible regulatory responses are considered: use it or lose it clauses and spectrum trading incentives. The former favours technical efficiency whilst the latter promotes allocative efficiency. The argument is formalised in a simple economic model buttressing the roles of uncertainty and transaction costs to assert the primacy of allocative efficiency over technical efficiency.

The results indicate that a complete ecosystem, where mobile network operators collaborate closely with value-added service providers, content/application providers, equipment and device manufacturers, and other involved organizations, can promote the development of mobile data services substantially. Therefore, mobile network operators should play a central role in the ecosystem by managing the entire value-chain and setting up proper value-sharing mechanisms. However, while doing so, problems may arise because of regulatory issues and information asymmetry. High-value common assets, a centralized management system, partner selection schemes and continuous innovations are important success factors. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd.

It turns internet access disparities into a health equity concern, i.e., poor internet access can contribute to poor health. In response, two federal programs in the United States - Healthcare Connect Fund and the Telecom Program - subsidize internet access for HCPs in rural or remote areas. I use a two-part pricing approach to examine the evolution of internet speed and price for HCPs that received internet subsidies during 2014-2020. I find that HCP internet is annually getting 30.77% faster and 5.23% cheaper. During the same period, the cost to subscribe to an internet service and the cost to raise bandwidth have annually fallen by 5.02% and 7.83%, respectively. A comparison of the trends between rural and urban HCPs suggests that the rural/urban divide in internet access has shrunk during the study years.

A key factor in advancing economic growth and development in the digital age are information and communication technologies (ICT). We use time series data from 1994 to 2021 and use an autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) technique to estimate the effects of ICT on GDP growth for Tanzania, the world's most populous country located entirely south of the equator. We establish a causal relationship between ICT infrastructure/access and GDP growth in Tanzania, accounting for both short-run and long-run dynamics. In particular, mobile telephone subscription growth exhibits a significant impact on economic growth in both the short and the long run in Tanzania. This suggests that, at early stages of digitalization, adoption of mobile telecommunications gives a boost to economic growth, as early adapters tend to be very effective users.

Data enclosure is the process by which the information about user activity generated by digital operations are withdrawn from an open or shared arrangement with other operators and made more exclusive to the service providers whose operations generate the data. We make the case that data enclosure is emerging as a significant feature of the multi-sided markets of digital platform providers, by looking empirically at, 1) the encryption of DNS query data using the DNS over HTTPS (DoH) protocol, and 2) the enclosure of Apple and Google's mobile identifiers used in digital advertising and cross-app user tracking. These efforts are not only privacy-enhancing moves, but also a means by which service providers compete with each other over the value and security of data. We assess the degree to which exclusivity of data fosters or forecloses competition in the relevant markets, and find mixed results. DoH, apparently a more disruptive form of data enclosure, has had little impact on industry shares so far, primarily because it was embraced by a small-share, declining actor, but the growing use of DoH and other encrypted DNS protocols does indicate a market-driven response to privacy-enhancement.

The article provides a comprehensive and up-to-date comparison of data-retention legislations and attendant discussions in Europe with a specific focus on the risks of modern state surveillance. The results indicate that both national bulk dataretention legislation and other forms of data retention such as subscriber and IP-address retention, targeted data retention, and expedited data retention fail to mitigate these risks.

We ask respondents about the likelihood they would use three types of personalized advertising services delivered through their mobile operator, with services varying with respect to the level of personal data collected and whether shared with third parties. In all four countries, respondents state that their likelihood of using a personalized ad service decreases when the service uses more personal data or shares the data with third parties. Using a split sample design, we find that introducing a 10% discount on mobile subscriptions for those using the ad service increases the stated likelihood of using the service. We find significant differences in willingness to share personal data attitudes between countries, with respondents in high-income Norway being least willing and those in low-income Pakistan most willing to share personal data. We identify only minor differences between respondents in Serbia and Malaysia, middle-income countries in Europe and Asia. The study contributes to the literature on the willingness to share personal data by including young adult respondents from countries in both Europe and Asia.

Based on the third-person effect, it is hypothesised that the perceived harm of fake news on society increases people's support for fake news regulation. In parallel, according to the lesser evil principle, it is also anticipated that people will be less supportive of regulating fake news if they are aware that there are other non-regulatory counter fake news solutions such as fact-checking. Using original survey data collected from the three countries (n = 5218) and multi-group SEM, it is found that while the first hypothesis holds for all three countries, the second one holds only for Japan and South Korea (the two mature democracies), but not for Thailand (the semidemocratic country).

Despite this convergence, it is also clear that the conceptualization and implementation, or goals and outcomes of cashlessness can vary considerably, which indicates the need for a closer look at the Indian case. In this introductory note to the special issue on cashlessness in India, we outline the variety of institutions, stakeholders (regulatory, financial and technological actors), technologies and policies involved. As we have observed, digital payments and financial inclusion are two significant planks of cashlessness in India. Perhaps as a result, digital payments have been intentionally defined in a broad manner in India - ranging from anti-cash to less-cash and now contactless payments in the aftermath of Covid-19. Considering the variety of legal, economic, social and technological concerns involved, this special issue adopts 2 complementary foci to study cashlessness in India: technological visions and the systems undergirding it, and practices of end users. The special issue includes four papers. The first paper argues that the Digital India programme may lead to the commercialization of bias.

Notably, the ever increasing bandwidth, together with reduced latency in mobile networks, enables a multitude of new use cases for a wide range of industries. These new use cases have typically increased quality requirements for the wireless connection. Accordingly, the Internet architecture needs to keep pace with the recent developments, particularly in light of the holistic approach of the new fifth generation (5G) mobile communication standard. In this study, we shed light on the effects of 5G on the Internet's core, i.e., on the Internet interdomain traffic. The interdomain traffic between distinct autonomous systems (ASs) is exchanged by transit networks as well as through peerings at private network interconnects (PNIs) and public Internet Exchange Points (IXPs). 5G inter domain traffic estimation is especially important for IXPs as these are focal points that aggregate high traffic volumes. We coherently derive twelve 5G use case groups and present an overview of their individual associated 5G use cases. We characterize the communication networking (connection) requirements and the resulting implications of these use cases. Further, we develop and apply a methodology to assess the 5G use cases, so as to rank them in terms of their projected impact on the overall internet traffic growth. Based on this systematic approach, we conclude that the traffic for the use case groups Video in 5G, Health, and Virtual & Augmented Reality will have the largest impact. We identify a large number of other use case groups, e.g., Live Events, Tactile Internet, and Manufacturing, that will contribute rather small individual fractions to the overall growth of Internet traffic. However, their aggregated contribution to the internet traffic growth will be significant. Our traffic estimation can inform interdomain infrastructure providers, such as IXPs, and policy makers about the likely impact of the introduction of 5G on the interdomain traffic in the Internet.", "Addresses": "[Hoeschele, Thomas; Fitzek, Frank H.

Ambitious goals to incentivise investment in high-speed broadband networks have been set across the European Union, initially in the 'Digital Agenda for Europe' and more recently in its 'Gigabit strategy'. These goals reflect the view of many that there are widespread and significant socio-economic benefits associated with broadband. Our analysis explores the consequence of target setting at a European level, in terms of encouraging investment and picking which technology should be adopted within the context of technological neutrality. We demonstrate that while public policy targets might implicitly favour specific technologies, especially when gigabit targets are defined, the technological choices that occur within individual Member States are shaped by the complex and dynamic interaction between a series of path dependencies that may vary significantly across as well as within Member States. Adopting an ecosystem perspective, we propose a conceptual framework that identifies the key factors associated with technological neutrality and informs a rational decision-making process.", "Addresses": "[Briglauer, Wolfgang] Vienna Univ Econ & Business, Res Inst Regulatory Econ, EcoAustria, Vienna, Austria; [Stocker, Volker] Weizenbaum Inst Networked Soc, Berlin, Germany; [Stocker, Volker] Tech Univ Berlin, Berlin, Germany; [Whalley, Jason] Northumbria Univ, Newcastle Business Sch, Newcastle Upon Tyne, Tyne & Wear, England; [Whalley, Jason] Inst Mines Telecom Business Sch, Evry, France; [Briglauer, Wolfgang] Univ Passau, Sch Business Econ & Informat Syst, Passau, Germany", "Affiliations": "Vienna University of Economics & Business; Technical University of Berlin; Northumbria University; Newcastle University - UK; University of Passau", "Reprint Addresses": "Whalley, J (corresponding author), Northumbria Univ, Newcastle Business Sch, Newcastle Upon Tyne, Tyne & Wear, England.", "Email Addresses": "jason.whalley@northumbria.ac.uk", "Researcher Ids": "Stocker, Volker/AEA-0432-2022; Stocker, Volker/AAG-7757-2022", "ORCIDs": "", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 62.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 11.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 12.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 2.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 19.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

As more people get connected to telecommunication networks and competition becomes increasingly fierce, it becomes essential to revamp institutions that ensure consumer protection in the telecommunication markets. This paper analyses the current status of institutions that protect consumers in the telecommunications sector in five African countries from the perspective of three pillars of sound institutional design. The findings indicate that while all cases analysed herein have some form of institution that upholds consumer protection, in most cases, such protection is limited to mobile communications. Furthermore, in most cases, there are only general sanction provisions that are either too weak to bind service providers or that leave overly discretionary powers to regulatory agencies, which can lead to corrupt practices, hence weakening consumer protection.

A key finding of this study is that different institutions have largely affected smart governance strategies, arrangements and outcomes. Smart governance is tightly linked with e-governance and e-democracy in some Western countries, while it officially emphasizes smart management and service in China. A common aspect is that the increasing use of social media, smartphones, portals, crowdsourcing platforms, and planning support systems have generally promoted smart governments and services, e-participation, and wider collaboration through both top-down and bottom-up approaches.

We investigated the best-suited model to explain the diffusion process of mobile telephone in Guatemala by estimating diffusion curves using empirical data. Moreover, we explored affecting factors which characterize the diffusion pattern of mobile telephony in Guatemala through statistical analysis. Finally, in order to understand the effects of competition in the diffusion process of Guatemalan mobile phone service, we attempted to clarify the competitive relationship between mobile and fixed-line services using the Lotka-Volterra model. As a result, the logistic model was found to be the best model for describing the diffusion pattern. Moreover, investment in telecommunications, the subscribers of fixed-line services, and the number of operators in mobile market were found as significant determinants of mobile diffusion process.

Determining the right price is a central challenge in this context. Despite known limitations, the Contingent Valuation (CV) method, which elicits information on the Willingness to Pay (WTP), is a useful guide to pricing decisions. The present study draws on data generated using the CV method to examine whether mobile use is sensitive to small declines in the current per-minute price of use for low income households in six countries of Asia: Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, Philippines, Sri Lanka, and Thailand. A Heckman model is used to correct for the sample selection problem arising from the study of mobile phone owners alone. We find that demographic criteria, including income, are not significant in explaining whether usage is responsive to price fall, although they appear important in determining mobile phone ownership. Instead, subscription to multiple service providers has an important association with the price sensitivity of use: Those with multiple SIM cards are likely to increase usage when price falls whereas those who report that they would not switch service providers are unlikely to do so. The study further finds that consumption would increase among those with a more diversified use of mobile services (to participate in competitions and to access government services) and among more 'limited' users (those who attach a greater importance to the emergency uses of the phone). Overall the findings suggest that there exists a latent demand for mobile minutes among low income households that can be tapped through a small reduction in price. However, given the relatively low profit margins in these markets and the ability of users to switch between service providers quickly and at low cost, competing on price could threaten the long term survival of firms. Non-price strategies would therefore be important for firm survival and sustainable service delivery. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd.

The impact of ICT on economic growth is analyzed via two main channels. The direct contribution of ICT investment to aggregate economy and manufacturing growth, and the indirect impact of ICT on Total Factor Productivity Growth (TFPG) in ICT using and ICT producing sectors. The results suggest an increasing role of ICT investment in driving aggregate economic growth in India, though largely limited to the service sector. Moreover, the economy has not been successful in spreading the ICT spillover effect across the board, thus limiting the productivity gain from ICT use. Whereas we see an improving productivity growth in ICT using market services and their contribution to aggregate productivity growth, the manufacturing sectors lags quite behind. Indeed, India's export oriented ICT sector has helped gain efficiency improvement in its fast growing service economy, while there is still large potential for ICT use in the manufacturing sector. The paper opens further avenues for improving the data on ICT investment, and also stresses the need for more detailed sectoral analysis of the impact of ICT on economic growth, treating computer related and software services separately.

By weighing the indicators for each case study, we can create a grid that allows for their direct comparison and gives an indication of diverging strategies.

Despite of its increasing availability, its level of adoption has not been satisfying. On the other hand, over the last years, coinciding with the web 2.0 trend, the e-government services co-produced by citizens start to appear, often without the support, acknowledgement and even awareness of the government. This trend stems from a well-established tradition of offline co- production of public services, i.e. services provided by the voluntary sector, but brought to an unprecedented scale thanks to the advent of web 2.0. Still, the concept remains not well-defined and its impact is not yet well studied. The paper explores on a limited sets of cases what does it mean to collaboratively deliver online public services; what are the success factors based on the cases under study and what are the incentives for service providers (other than public administration), citizens as users and public administration. The authors propose an ostensive definition of the collaborative delivery of public services: collaborative public services are created and run by government, civil society or by private sector building on the re-use of government data or citizens data. Those services are focused on public goods delivery (e.g. health, education, public transport) and are meant to change the traditional government services by engaging in an open dialogue with public administration about the best way to deliver those services. The analysis of six case studies of innovative collaborative online public services suggests that the online collaborative public service delivery increases its quality with the users' growth contrary to the traditional offline service delivery. The study results indicate that the current developers interest lies in delivering complementary services to the government run services rather than substitutive services. The authors propose also the initial list of success factors, enabling conditions, and benefits for all main stakeholders (users, innovators and public administration). (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd.

A three-stage method is employed to measure the productivity scores of CHT during the period 1966-2008. The Malmquist productivity index (MPI) is used in the first stage to assess the productivity of CHT. In the second stage, the statistical confidence intervals of productivity scores of CHT were obtained using the bootstrapping algorithm. Finally, the Chow test and multiple regression models were also utilized to investigate the impact of telecommunications policy on productivity change of CHT. Results of empirical examination indicate that on average TFP scores obtained by the bootstrapping technique are smaller than those obtained by the MPI technique. In addition, there is no difference in productivity change of CHT between pre- and post-privatization according to the MPI and bootstrapping MPI. The results show that the effect of privatization on productivity change is insignificant. Instead, the operational efficiency of CHT is affected by the government involvement in decision-making under its private/public joint ownership, which causes CHT to be a firm with little managerial profit orientation.

This trend will continue due to the seemingly ever greater use of these technologies, with broadband data traffic generated by the usage of telecommunication networks as a primary component. In fact, in response to user demand, the telecommunications industry is initiating the deployment of next generation networks (NGNs). However, energy consumption is mostly absent from the debate on these deployments, in spite of the potential impact on both expenses and sustainability. In addition, consumers are unaware of the energy impact of their choices in ultra-broadband services. This paper focuses on forecasting energy consumption in the access part of NGNs by modelling the combined effect of the deployment of two different ultra-broadband technologies (FTTH-GPON and LTE), the evolution of traffic per user, and the energy consumption in each of the networks and user devices. Conclusions are presented on the levels of energy consumption, their cost and the impact of different network design parameters. The effect of technological developments, techno-economic and policy decisions on energy consumption is highlighted. On the consumer side, practical figures and comparisons across technologies are provided. Although the paper focuses on Spain, the analysis can be extended to similar countries.

It is envisaged that cognitive radio systems (CRS) could impact many aspects of communications and in particular could facilitate accommodation of the increasing amount of services and applications in wireless networks. Intensive research on CR aims at maximising the utilisation of the limited radio spectrum resource. There have been many advances in CR regarding the technology development aspects; however supplementary research on regulation, policy and market structure reforms in relation with application specific deployment is still required before any CR-based spectrum access could be implemented for specific broadband mobile applications. Indeed, mobile community is still at an early stage of understanding and development of CR capabilities and it is premature to envisage wide deployment of CRS without careful consideration of regulatory and business issues. Therefore, this paper gives a classification of CR-based network and application scenarios, and investigates the feasibility of them from a regulatory perspective at a global level (ITU-R). Main part of this paper presents the wireless network operator's approach to CRS specific for International Mobile Telecommunications (IMT) systems and proposes the radio environment map (REM) concept as a cognitive tool that increases environmental awareness in wireless network operator's networks. Studies, which the authors performed internally and within the framework of a collaborative European project as well as within ITU-R yield the conclusion that, at shorter term, only intra-operator based CRS maximises the possibility for CR capabilities to be implemented.

Rapid advances in mobile technology offer the potential to mediate access to essential services. Through this research, the answers to the following question were explored: will mobile service platforms bridge the gap between service providers and people living at the base of the pyramid in developing countries? Anchored in interviews with 31 experts in the field of mobile and ICT, qualitative analysis starting from platform leadership to explain the role of mobile service platforms is presented: how operator, device and service provider centric platforms compete, collaborate and open up (or not) for delivering scalable services to the poor. Based on the analysis in this paper, it is portended that although operator centric platforms are in pole position, device centric platform providers, being astute innovators, are positioned to close the lead by presenting alternatives to bridge the gap in developing countries. This paper frames the current debate on M4D through the lens of platform theory, and aims to provide guidance to policy makers to improve access to services for the poor. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

In China's emergent 3G/4G era, market behaviors can be affected by various institutional factors, along with various forms of informal forces, which may translate into different implications for competition regulation. Based on extensive archival research and interview, this current study aims to bridge the gap by following an interpretive approach. An input-output model was substantiated for pattern-matching in the Chinese context base on the postulation of a series of propositions and hence Industry-Gray-Box. Accordingly, two categories of market behaviors, that is, market-driven vs. institutions-driven, were arguably delineated as being underpinning the competition development. Policy implications and future reform imperatives were discussed. This study may advance knowledge in terms of: (1) the establishment of a relatively consistent pattern for mapping the landscape of China's communications industry; (2) the substantiation of the inner working mechanism of China's SOE system in the telecommunications sector; and (3) original first attempt in identifying different roles of telecom SOEs and the governing forces that affect them. The paper also offers extensive and cohesive insights on China's formal and informal institutional environment in general and for telecommunications in particular.

Performance was measured using an important metric normally used to measure synergies of firms undergoing mergers. The analysis has revealed that the relative cash flow variable for firms worsened after mergers. If the synergy motive had been primary in influencing merger decisions, and also approvals, then the past mergers approved led to decreased performance levels and corresponding welfare losses for American consumers; thus, the mergers of communications common carriers were not in the interest of the public, the shareholders and customers. On the other hand, given the negative outcomes, views that the quiet life, hubris or a quest for possible market power motivated the mergers could be discarded. The lessons of such contemporary historical analysis have suggested that antitrust oppositions to contemporary telecommunications sector mergers may have basis in fact and salient evidence.

Thus, this paper analyzes the probability of carrying out work activities remotely by constructing the Remote Working Index (RWI) in Colombia for the year 2019, using data from 93,927 individuals employed. The above led not only to show the inequalities between regions and economic sectors, but also allowed to establish a social profile of the agents who are most likely to work from home. The results show that ethnic-racial minorities, women, people aged 60 and over and those ones belonging to the health-care contributory system are the least likely to carry out their remote work. Consequently, they are the ones who face the highest disadvantages in the labor market when it faces confinement environments. Our results allow us to profile the population that requires higher attention in environments that restrict work activity, while identifying the work activities most likely to be performed remotely. This consolidates a contribution to the emerging literature on remote work and focuses the discussion on the identification strategy of indicators from Household Surveys.", "Addresses": "[Astorquiza-Bustos, Bilver Adrian; Quintero-Pena, Jose Wilmar] Univ Manizales, Econ & Adm Sci, Cra 9a 19-03, Manizales, Colombia; [Quintero-Pena, Jose Wilmar] Univ Pavia, Dept Econ & Management, Via San Felice al Monastero 5, Pavia, Italy", "Affiliations": "Universidad de Manizales; University of Pavia", "Reprint Addresses": "Astorquiza-Bustos, BA (corresponding author), Univ Manizales, Econ & Adm Sci, Cra 9a 19-03, Manizales, Colombia.", "Email Addresses": "bilvera@umanizales.edu.co; josewilmar.quinteropena01@universitadipavia.it", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "Astorquiza Bustos, Bilver Adrian/0000-0003-1079-6711", "Funding Orgs": "University of Manizales [B0601X0411]; Institucion Universitaria Politecnico Grancolombiano", "Funding Name Preferred": "University of Manizales; Institucion Universitaria Politecnico Grancolombiano", "Funding Text": "1 This paper was granted with the funds B0601X0411 of the 2019 Call for Internal Research of the University of Manizales in co-financing with the Institucion Universitaria Politecnico Grancolombiano", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 40.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 1.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 1.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 7.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 7.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "London", "Publisher Address": "125 London Wall, London, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

We take stock from recent economic literature and empirical evidences to show the differences in business models and regulatory constraints have led to unequal net benefits from growing European digital economy. In particular, because the telecommunication operators have to bear the costs of delivering content to end-users, their business can be strongly affected due to the sharp increase in traffic generation. This negative externality should be internalized to correct the related market failure and to restore incentives to invest in the network infrastructure to meet the ambitious Europe's Digital Decade targets. Furthermore, we assess the interplay between access and content, and demonstrate how a fair cost sharing policy can impact investment, consumer surplus and social welfare. In particular, content providers that are efficient in monetizing consumers are incentivized to lower the cost of content to consumers, which positively impacts the consumer surplus and social welfare. Also, because cost sharing can even encourage digital platforms to better optimize the demand, this could have potentially positive effect on the environment. Finally, we give some recommendations to effectively implement the policy in practice.", "Addresses": "[Baranes, Edmond] Univ Montpellier, MRE, Montpellier, France; [Vuong, Cuong Hung] Univ Paris Est Creteil, LIPHA, Creteil, France", "Affiliations": "Universite de Montpellier; Universite Paris-Est-Creteil-Val-de-Marne (UPEC)", "Reprint Addresses": "Baranes, E (corresponding author), Univ Montpellier, MRE, Montpellier, France.", "Email Addresses": "edmond.baranes@umontpellier.fr; hung-cuong.vuong@u-pec.fr", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "", "Funding Orgs": "Orange", "Funding Name Preferred": "Orange", "Funding Text": "The authors thank two anonymous referees for their useful comments.

Furthermore, earlier researches on the connection between ICT and growth concentrated more on general expansion than on the kind of growth that is evenly distributed and has broader societal implications than merely growing the size of the overall economic pie. This study critically analyzes the connection between ICT diffusion and inclusive growth, considering the interactive impacts of trade openness, FDI, and financial inclusion on inclusive growth in top African nations ranked in terms of ICT development, so as to close the existing literature gap. An improved-GMM (generalized method of moments) technique, founded on panel data-set spanning the years 2000-2020, is used in the study. By employing PCA (principal component analysis) to measure inclusive growth, ICT diffusion, and financial inclusion indices, the study contributes to the body of prior research. The model also accounts for the heterogeneous impact of the interactive term between ICT diffusions and trade openness, FDI, and financial inclusion on inclusive growth. Overall, results indicate that while ICT diffusion, trade openness, FDI, and financial inclusion significantly and positively enhance inclusive growth at both the individual and interaction levels, inflation hinders it. The study suggests that policymakers should establish measures to advance ICT development, encourage trade openness, attract foreign direct investment, and improve financial inclusion because these measures have tendencies to support inclusive growth by opening up a number of opportunities.", "Addresses": "[Wang, Wencheng] China Ctr Publ Sect Econ Res, 2699 Qianjin St, Changchun 130012, Peoples R China; [Wang, Wencheng; Ning, Zinan] Jilin Univ, Sch Econ, 2699 Qianjin St, Changchun 130012, Peoples R China; [Shu, Yang] Hunan Univ, Sch Econ & Trade, Changsha 410006, Hunan, Peoples R China; [Riti, Joshua Sunday] Univ Jos, Fac Social Sci, Dept Econ, Jos 930001, Nigeria; [Riti, Miriam-Kamah J.] Karl Kumm Univ, Dept Econ, Vom, Plateau, Nigeria; [Riti, Joshua Sunday] Univ Jos, Jos 930001, Nigeria", "Affiliations": "Jilin University; Hunan University; University of Jos; University of Jos", "Reprint Addresses": "Riti, JS (corresponding author), Univ Jos, Jos 930001, Nigeria.", "Email Addresses": "wangwencheng@jlu.edu.cn; ningzn20@mails.jlu.edu.cn; shuy@hnu.edu.cn; kamahmiriam@yahoo.com; joshuariti@gmail.com", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "", "Funding Orgs": "Basic Research Funds of Central Universities for Philosophy and Social Science Research Project [2022ESD01]", "Funding Name Preferred": "Basic Research Funds of Central Universities for Philosophy and Social Science Research Project", "Funding Text": "Funding Basic Research Funds of Central Universities for Philosophy and Social Science Research Project (No. 2022ESD01) .", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 72.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 6.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 6.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 11.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 31.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

It assess the digital technologies contribution to poverty reduction, through different channels of impact, like education, labor market, income and ICTtrade related activities.Using the sample of 40 developing countries between 1990 and 2019, it relies on macro data extracted from the World Bank Development Indicators (2021) and the World Telecommunication/ICT Indicators Database (2020). Methodological framework combines time trend analysis and locally weighted polynomial smoother, logistic growth model, and panel regression modelling techniques. Our major findings suggest growing ICT deployment, school enrolments, and increases in material wealth are significant drivers of poverty eradication in developing economies. However, the impact of digitalization on poverty is neither direct nor immediate. Therefore, we claim that national and local authorities, together with civil society must consider ICT as a key element of their broad development strategies.", "Addresses": "[Lechman, Ewa; Popowska, Magdalena] Gdansk Univ Technol, Ul Narutowicza 11-12, Gdansk, Poland", "Affiliations": "Fahrenheit Universities; Gdansk University of Technology", "Reprint Addresses": "Lechman, E (corresponding author), Gdansk Univ Technol, Ul Narutowicza 11-12, Gdansk, Poland.", "Email Addresses": "eda@zie.pg.gda.pl; mpop@pg.edu.pl", "Researcher Ids": "Popowska, Magdalena Maria/AAZ-1740-2021; Lechman, Ewa/K-9442-2018", "ORCIDs": "Popowska, Magdalena Maria/0000-0002-2235-7196; Lechman, Ewa/0000-0003-1718-7134", "Funding Orgs": "National Science Centre in Poland [2015/19/B/HS4/03220]", "Funding Name Preferred": "National Science Centre in Poland(National Science Centre, Poland)", "Funding Text": "Acknowledgements This work was supported by the National Science Centre in Poland under Grant no. 2015/19/B/HS4/03220.", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 72.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 36.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 37.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 55.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 165.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

Beyond its technical aspects, 5G has become a question of security and national interest for many States as well as an international policy issue. Technological autonomy and digital sovereignty are increasingly recognised as strategic priorities on a global scale. In this context, the EU's position is unique, basically for two reasons. On the one hand, the EU has unintentionally become part of the playing field in the US-China dispute over technology companies and 5G. On the other hand, any policy of the EU or its Member States is constrained by the nature of 5G as an area of either European or national competence. The delimitation of their competences is not clear, just as there is no transparent and understandable distinction of their 5G responsibilities. In order to clarify this situation, a comprehensive analysis of the European competence and legal frameworks is necessary. After that, the study of the evolution process of this European policy provides an overview of its scope and limits. Finally, the paper explains the procedures and instruments of this European policy and concludes by assessing its implementation and development prospects. The possibility of reaching technological autonomy and digital sovereignty for the EU and its member states depends, for the time being, on this European policy.", "Addresses": "[Robles-Carrillo, Margarita] Univ Granada, Network Engn & Secur Grp NESG, Granada, Spain", "Affiliations": "University of Granada", "Reprint Addresses": "Robles-Carrillo, M (corresponding author), Univ Granada, Network Engn & Secur Grp NESG, Granada, Spain.", "Email Addresses": "mrobles@ugr.es", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "Robles Carrillo, Margarita/0000-0002-6324-4665", "Funding Orgs": "Spanish Government [PID 2020-114495RB-I00]; Network Engineering & Security Group (NESG); Universidad de Granada/CBUA", "Funding Name Preferred": "Spanish Government(Spanish Government); Network Engineering & Security Group (NESG); Universidad de Granada/CBUA", "Funding Text": "Work partially supported by Spanish Government through Project PID 2020-114495RB-I00 and by Network Engineering & Security Group (NESG) .

We examine a complex industrial multi-stakeholder ecosystem of a port and observe that in the considered case study, the convergence of connectivity and data platforms enhances digitalization and helps to create shared local information between stakeholders. The research identifies a set of regulatory challenges for local 5G networks in complex industrial multi-stakeholder ecosystems where the telecommunication and information technology-related regulations meet with vertical-specific regulations, leading to a complex environment in which to operate.

Rather than embrace the customary commitment to achieve consensus on global spectrum allocations at the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has auctioned off large blocks of frequencies for the next generation (5G) of wireless services. The FCC might have framed its first 5G auction, reassigning Ultra High Frequency (UHF) spectrum, as a one-time deviation from compliance with long standing, intergovernmental coordination procedures. These frequencies have ideal signal propagation characteristics and the Commission could use financial incentives-unavailable in most nations-to expedite repacking by incumbent broadcasters willing to move, share or abandon spectrum in exchange for ample financial compensation. However, the FCC has continued to auction off 5G spectrum on grounds that it must find ways to abate an acute shortage of wireless bandwidth and doing so will regain or maintain global leadership in wireless technologies. This paper offers a critical rebuke to unilateral spectrum management, because the short-term benefits expected by the U. S. government likely will be offset by countervailing harms to 5G manufacturers, carriers and consumers. The paper tracks fractious preparation for the ITU's 2019 World Radio Conference by the U.S. delegation and the mixed record achieved there. Additionally, the paper explains how injecting trade, industrial policy and national security issues at the ITU can trigger more delays and disputes, including possible retaliation by nations displeased with U.S. efforts to subvert traditional technology optimization goals.

We control for the main determinants of Internet availability such as income, education, age, and population density. Our policy variables come from the newly released State Broadband Policy Explorer from the Pew Charitable Trusts and individual contacts from the nationwide State Broadband Leaders Network. Our primary policies of interest are those related to: (1) availability of state-level funding, (2) existence of a state-level broadband office/task force with full-time employees, and (3) restrictions on municipal/cooperative broadband provision. We find a positive and significant impact of state-level funding programs on general (and fiber) broadband availability, and a negative impact of municipal/cooperative restrictions.

This paper identifies and analyzes the range of AI applications already in place and those expected to be in place in the near future. After analyzing the applications found in the literature, we have conducted interviews with senior executives responsible for AI in telecommunications, electricity, gas and water companies headquartered in North America and Europe, as well as with suppliers incorporating AI into their equipment. These interviews have provided information on which AI applications are actually being used in these network industries and which are expected to be implemented in the future. While some of these AI applications, like predictive maintenance, have already been implemented today by most operators, more complex applications, such as traffic management AIs for 5G, are being considered by only a few large operators. Finally, the paper explores the consequences of AI for regulation. At the least, regulators will need to understand AI in order to determine if AI applications raise regulatory concerns.

This study examines the reasons for this decline by analyzing the Korea Media Panel (KMP) data of the period 2011-2018 using a random-effects logit model. An empirical analysis indicates that a household is less likely to subscribe to print newspapers, as its family members spend less time reading newspaper articles, and as they are more likely to rely on the Internet for access to newspaper articles. In other words, print newspaper subscriptions have declined due to two reasons, namely, a decrease in the demand for newspaper articles and the emergence of online newspapers as a substitute for print newspapers. Next, this study identifies the socioeconomic factors affecting the demand for newspaper articles and the substitutability between print and online newspapers by applying a random-effects tobit model to the KMP data. One of the main results demonstrate that young and less educated individuals tend to spend less time reading newspaper articles, whether print or online.

This empirical study is motivated by the use of EHR in many countries as a method of promoting healthcare services. Another incentive for the present study is to look at EHR as a top layer in the Next Generation of Information Infrastructure (NII). EHR is considered an efficiency-enhancing and cost-effective technology. Moreover, the issue of developing the healthcare sector in Egypt has the attention of government policymakers, who have a comprehensive healthcare and social insurance law that will be discussed in the Egyptian Parliament, in the near future. The study highlights the socio-technical approach used in analyzing the EHR as an eHealth application in Egypt. The underlying theoretical framework of this study implicates the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology in the Consumer Context (UTAUT2) model. It also applies an integrated framework of multifaceted perceptions used to explain the expected adoption or behavior of the Egyptian consumer vis-a-vis EHR. The study relies on primary data collected after surveying 559 respondents. Results reveal that determinants of EHR include demographics such as place and gender, but more importantly constructs such as price value, effort expectancy and facilitating conditions are key factors that play a part in the decision made by the Egyptian consumer to adopt EHR technology.

Logistic regression techniques allow quantifying the impact of the socioeconomic characteristics of the individual on the adoption of each service. The resulting models are statistically significant and with a high predictive power. Age, education and levels of internet and computer skills are all significant in explaining the adoption of any of the three services; as are gender and income, but just for eCommerce and eBanking.

This paper focuses on linking proposed smart city strategies to smart village policies to ensure that rural youth have improved opportunities for employment through ICT initiatives to ensure digital inclusion, using primary surveys undertaken in India. The motivation was to understand how mobile telephony could be a catalyst to create Smart Villages in India, where young people can chart out new pathways to realize their aspirations with regard to tertiary education and new avenues for diversifying into rural non-agricultural employment. We use data obtained from a household survey in villages in the states of Punjab and Tamil Nadu to examine the mobile phone usage preferences of rural educated youth to identify the way forward in improving the accessibility of services on the supply side. We make the case that where youth are using mobile phone access to increase their social information base it is indeed possible that the new social media groups formed by rural youth become a powerful conduit for generating new employment opportunities. The key to accessing this solution is to use a demand driven model for mobile services that would permit a bottom of governance model to generate sustainable growth of enterprises and improved human development of these villages.", "Addresses": "[Fennell, Shailaja; Bedi, Jaskiran] Univ Cambridge, Ctr Dev Studies, Cambridge, England; [Fennell, Shailaja; Bedi, Jaskiran] Univ Cambridge, Dept Land Econ, Cambridge, England; [Kaur, Prabhjot; Jhunjhunwala, Ashok; Narayanan, Deapika; Loyola, Charles] Indian Inst Technol Madras, Telecommun & Comp Networking Grp TeNet, Madras, Tamil Nadu, India; [Singh, Yaadveer] Punjab Univ Chandigarh, Dept Econ, Chandigarh, India", "Affiliations": "University of Cambridge; University of Cambridge; Indian Institute of Technology System (IIT System); Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) - Madras; Panjab University", "Reprint Addresses": "Fennell, S (corresponding author), Univ Cambridge, Ctr Dev Studies, Cambridge, England.;Fennell, S (corresponding author), Univ Cambridge, Dept Land Econ, Cambridge, England.", "Email Addresses": "ss141@cam.ac.uk", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "", "Funding Orgs": "UGC-UKIERI research grant [RG71992]", "Funding Name Preferred": "UGC-UKIERI research grant", "Funding Text": "This research was made possible by funds provided by a UGC-UKIERI research grant (RG71992).

Previous studies of the digital divide were restricted by the lack of sufficiently granular data on broadband availability and adoption. Recent efforts of NTIA and the FCC have made it possible for scholars to perform an exhaustive analysis of broadband diffusion. This paper examines differences in fixed location broadband adoption rates among households of various demographic and socio-economic characteristics and in different geographic locations utilizing the FCC's census tract level adoption data, demographic data from American Community Survey and the census block level broadband availability data from NTIA. Ordered probit models are estimated and used to conduct simulations in order to analyze the determinants of the broadband adoption rate. The results indicate that, although available in most tracts, the lack of broadband availability can still be a deterrent to its adoption. Furthermore, simulations indicate that, in non-metropolitan areas, policies targeting broadband availability would have a larger impact on adoption than policies targeting income or education, for instance. Additionally, where broadband is available, the census tracts with more educated, wealthy and older people who have more choices of broadband providers have higher fixed broadband subscription rates. The positive impact of older population on adoption rate contradicts the conventional belief that the older generation is left behind. Drawing from the previous literature, the older population may be more likely to have a home broadband subscription through traditional technologies, while their younger counterparts, who adapt to new technologies quicker, may be subscribing to mobile broadband.", "Addresses": "[Silva, Simone] Murray State Univ, Dept Econ & Finance, Econ, 307H Business Bldg, Murray, KY 42071 USA; [Badasyan, Narine] Murray State Univ, Dept Econ & Finance, Econ & Telecommun Syst Management, 307D Business Bldg, Murray, KY 42071 USA; [Busby, Michael] Murray State Univ, Dept Geosci, Midamer Remote Sensing Ctr MARC, Murray, KY 42071 USA; [Busby, Michael] Murray State Univ, Dept Geosci, Murray, KY 42071 USA", "Affiliations": "Murray State University; Murray State University; Murray State University; Murray State University", "Reprint Addresses": "Badasyan, N (corresponding author), Murray State Univ, Dept Econ & Finance, Econ & Telecommun Syst Management, 307D Business Bldg, Murray, KY 42071 USA.", "Email Addresses": "ssilva@murraystate.edu; nbadasyan@murraystate.edu; mbusby@murraystate.edu", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 74.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 26.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 32.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 1.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 25.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

Since most of the data is currently stored in cloud data centers, it also compares how blockchain performs vis-vis the cloud in various aspects of security and privacy. Key underlying mechanisms related to the blockchain's impacts on the Internet of Things (IoT) security are also covered. From the security and privacy considerations, it highlights how blockchain-based solutions could possibly be, in many aspects, superior to-the current IoT ecosystem, which mainly relies on centralized cloud servers through service providers. Using practical applications and real-world examples, the paper argues that blockchain's decentralized feature is likely to result in a low susceptibility to manipulation and forgery by malicious participants. Special consideration is also given to how blockchain-based identity and access management systems can address some of the key challenges associated with IoT security. The paper provides a detailed analysis and description of blockchain's roles in tracking the sources of insecurity in supply chains related to IoT devices. The paper also delves into how blockchain can make it possible to contain an IoT security breach in a targeted way after it is discovered. It discusses and evaluates initiatives of organizations, inter organizational networks and industries on this front. A number of policy implications are discussed. First, in order to strengthen IoT, regulators can make it obligatory for firms to deploy blockchain in supply chain, especially in systems that are mission critical, and have substantial national security and economic benefits. Second, public policy efforts directed at protecting privacy using blockchain should focus on providing training to key stakeholders and increasing investment in this technology. Third, one way to enrich the blockchain ecosystem would be to turn attention to public private partnerships. Finally, riational governments should provide legal clarity and more information for parties to engage in smart contracts that are enforceable.", "Addresses": "[Kshetri, Nir] Univ N Carolina, Bryan Sch Business & Econ, Bryan Bldg,Room 368,POB 26165, Greensboro, NC 27402 USA", "Affiliations": "University of North Carolina; University of North Carolina Greensboro", "Reprint Addresses": "Kshetri, N (corresponding author), Univ N Carolina, Bryan Sch Business & Econ, Bryan Bldg,Room 368,POB 26165, Greensboro, NC 27402 USA.", "Email Addresses": "nbkshetr@uncg.edu", "Researcher Ids": "Bolívar, Manuel Pedro Rodríguez/K-2911-2012; Sánchez-Gómez, Nicolás/K-3758-2014", "ORCIDs": "Bolívar, Manuel Pedro Rodríguez/0000-0001-8959-7664;", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 90.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 286.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 314.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 13.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 526.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

It focuses on aspects of compliance, monitoring, and enforcement of policy objective relating to ordinary consumer interest, areas that receive inadequate attention in policy literature. The study is conducted using the new institutional economics framework. It adapts and extends the Saleth and Dinar (1999) institution decomposition model to deconstruct the mobile institution into four major components: policy, law, administration and enforcement for analytical purposes. Using document analysis, supplemented by semi-structured interviews, the study provides insights into how the regulatory framework engages with the ordinary consumer and the implications this has for the delivery of the policy objective of protecting ordinary consumer interest. The main findings reveal that (1) due to weak institutional structures, the regulator and mobile service providers do not hold ordinary consumer's interest at levels consistent with policy and law (2) there is no special intervention to make basic mobile services accessible and affordable for lowincome ordinary consumers and (3) the pervasive violation of consumer interest persists due to laxity in enforcement of existing rules. The public interest in telecommunications policy has so far benefitted mobile companies in Nigeria rather than ordinary consumers. The existing policy failure, as discussed inthis case study, can provide inspiration for rethinking the place of the ordinary consumer.", "Addresses": "[Onyeajuwa, Martha Kanene] Univ Westminster, Commun & Media Res Inst, Sch Media Arts & Design, London, England", "Affiliations": "University of Westminster", "Reprint Addresses": "Onyeajuwa, MK (corresponding author), Univ Westminster, Commun & Media Res Inst, Sch Media Arts & Design, London, England.", "Email Addresses": "m.onyeajuwa@my.westminster.ac.uk", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "Onyeajuwa, Martha/0000-0003-0111-1821", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 61.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 9.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 9.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 0.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 7.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

Key drivers for the transition are Over the Top services (OTTs). The paper uses quarterly prices for prepaid user baskets across 44 African countries and introduces an alternative tool to measure and compare top-up bundles. Prepaid voice, prepaid data and top-ups are analysed, to demonstrate the various strategies operators in Africa have adopted, in response to revenue loss caused by OTTs, such as Facebook, WhatsApp and Skype. Case studies of dominant operators in South Africa, Kenya and Namibia are used to highlight which strategies have successfully defended or increased mobile operator revenues. The paper shows that embracing OTTs, and providing prepaid products that resemble flat-rate pricing (top-ups with limited validity), is the most successful strategy for mobile operators to retain revenues. The paper also shows how zero-rated OTTs can be used to gain market share for new entrants. We argue that regulators should resist the push for regulating OTTs, and instead facilitate the evolution to flat access pricing.", "Addresses": "[Stork, Christoph; Esselaar, Steve] Res ICT Solut, N Vancouver, BC, Canada; [Chair, Chenai] Res ICT Africa, Cape Town, South Africa", "Affiliations": "", "Reprint Addresses": "Stork, C (corresponding author), Res ICT Solut, N Vancouver, BC, Canada.", "Email Addresses": "christoph.stork@gmail.com", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 31.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 14.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 16.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 0.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 20.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

Many countries have attempted to use the vacant frequencies known as television white space in an effort to solve the frequency problem. Super Wi-Fi, a wireless Internet service based on television white space, is one of the ways television white space is being utilized. This paper applies conjoint analysis to evaluate consumers' willingness to pay for each of the attributes of a Super Wi-Fi service and estimates by how much consumer welfare could be increased by the introduction of a Super Wi-Fi service. The attributes of a Super Wi-Fi service are coverage, a reduction in communication expenses when using mobile data, the ability to use multiple screens, and a wide range of Wi-Fi service providers. The results based on user surveys indicated that the marginal willingness to pay per month for a Super Wi-Fi service is KRW 4717 (USD$4.6). Moreover, marginal willingness to pay in nonurban areas for this service is greater than that in urban areas, which implies that the introduction of a Super Wi-Fi service is expected to increase consumer welfare, especially in nonurban areas.

While the number of subscriptions reaches population saturation levels, the bandwidth divide continuous to be dynamic. The article measures the nationally installed bandwidth potential of 172 countries from 1986 to 2014. The overarching finding is that the divide in terms of bandwidth does not show any clear monotonic pattern. It fluctuates up and down over the decades as the result of an intricate interplay between incessant technological progress and diffusion of technology. The bandwidth divide between high- and low income countries has first increased and only decreased below historic levels very recently during 2012-2014. In general it shows that the bandwidth divide is linked to the income divide, which is notoriously persistent. The bandwidth distribution among all countries is undergoing a new process of global concentration, during which North America and Europe is being replaced by Asia as the new global leader. In 2014 only 3 countries host 50% of the globally installed bandwidth potential (10 countries almost 75%). The U.S. lost its global leadership in 2011, being replaced by China, which contributes more than twice as much national bandwidth potential in 2014 (29% versus 13%). Despite this bad news about the continuous persistence of the digital access divide among countries, exploratory analysis from a global perspective brings the good news that many more individual people seem to enjoy more equal access to global bandwidth. All of this showcases the urgency to systematically develop indicators to track the digital divide in terms of bandwidth. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd.

Increased ICT investment explains an important part of the acceleration of economic growth in the United States since 1995. An objective of this study is to verify if the same happened in Latin America. The analysis is presented at two levels. First, the study takes into account the aggregate level of the economy, for a set of 18 countries in the region. Second, it analyzes the relationship of ICT, economic growth and productivity by sector in five countries, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia and Mexico, which are part of a project on sectoral growth analysis using a growth accounting approach (LA-KLEMS project). The decomposition of the factors that determine the gap in GDP per capita with the US showed that improvements in the labor factor have helped to reduce the gap in GDP per capita relative to the US and conversely poor labor productivity has contributed negatively. The main cause that the labor productivity gap remains is the widening gap in ICT capital that counteracts improvements in human capital in Latin America. The role of ICT has been very low, representing less than one sixth of the total capital contribution. The analysis by economic activity, using the LA-KLEMS data base for Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia and Mexico, shows that the contribution of capital is the main source of growth in the fastest growing industry, the transportation industry and communications, and went hand in hand with high investment especially in ICT.

In this study, we conduct a hypothetical conjoint survey to analyze switching cost in the smartphone handset market and derive the cost by using the hierarchical Bayesian multinomial logit model to consider respondents' heterogeneity. Switching costs of handsets and OS are empirically estimated, and the magnitudes depend on the levels of searching cost, learning cost, and uncertainty when purchasing new smartphones.

In this paper, we reviewed the literature, on the motives behind the consumer's decision to purchase a bundle and found that holistic frameworks of purchasing factors, especially in bundle purchasing, are rare. To reach a more comprehensive framework, we examined the bundle purchasing process through an empirical study that incorporates old and new elements in the purchasing of bundled services. Starting with the customer's concerns in the purchasing process, we widened the scope to include considerations of usage convenience and life-cycle costs related to bundles, and we covered various other potential open question specific to bundling. By means of exploratory factor analysis, following the K-1 rule, we extracted eight factors and gave them preliminary names. Moreover, we conducted a linear regression analysis on how these eight factors influence the customer's willingness to buy a bundle service. Therefore, these factors can serve as a framework for further studies on the bundle purchasing process. In this paper, we also discussed newly discovered emotional factors affecting the purchasing process. In particular, usage convenience and self-image seem to be self-standing factors affecting the willingness to buy. This paper also contains an acknowledgment of the study's limitations to ascertain the reliability and validity of the study and of the factors extracted. Finally, we discussed the results and their contribution to theory building in bundle-specific marketing research and to practicing telecommunications managers, and we offered suggestions for future research.

The tension between English uniformity at the root level of the Internet's domain names system, and language diversity in the global Internet community, has resulted in various technological solutions surrounding Arabic, Chinese, and Cyrillic language domain names. These standards and technological solutions ensure the security and stability of the Internet; however, they do not comprehensively address the linguistic diversity needs of the Internet. ICANN has been transforming into an international policy organization, yet its linguistic diversity policies appear disconnected from the diversity policies of the United Nations, and remain technically oriented. Linguistic diversity in relation to IDNs at this stage mostly focus on the language representation of major languages that are spoken in powerful nation-states, who use the rhetoric of national pride, local business branding, and inclusion of non-English speakers. This situation surfaces the tension between nation-states and the new international governing institution ICANN. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd.

Availability data from the National Broadband Map aggregated to county level is used in conjunction with county-level adoption data from Federal Communication Commission. Economic variables of interest include median household income, number of firms with paid employees, total employed, percentage in poverty, and the percentage of employees classified as either creative class or non-farm proprietors. A propensity score matching technique (between a treated group associated with various broadband thresholds and a control group) is used to make preliminary causal statements regarding broadband and economic health. Growth rates between 2001 and 2010 for different economic measures are tested for statistical differences between the treated and non-treated groups, restricting the analysis to non-metropolitan counties. Results suggest that high levels of broadband adoption in rural areas positively (and potentially causally) impacted income growth between 2001 and 2010, and negatively influenced unemployment growth. Similarly, low levels of broadband adoption in rural areas lead to declines in the number of firms and total employment numbers in the county. Broadband availability measures (as opposed to adoption) demonstrate only limited impacts, suggesting that future broadband policies should be more demand-oriented. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd.

As the first decade of the twenty first century was ending, the governments of Australia and New Zealand committed to the construction of high-speed, fibre-optics next-generation access networks. This paper is about the approach followed by Australia and New Zealand to developing broadband infrastructure, the means deployed to build the network, and policy and market issues. The paper critically analyses the short history of each experience, including the political process, the reasons exhibited to justify the governments' involvement in infrastructure deployment, and the institutional arrangements introduced to manage the participation of private partners. The paper proposes a framework for analysis and uses its elements to critically analyse policy and regulatory decisions affecting the deployment rate and goals set by Australian and New Zealand government for their respective fibre-based next-generation platforms. The framework is used to draw comparisons between the two country cases and in so doing allowing the appreciation of commonalities and differences in the development and expectations for the future of telecommunications markets in the region.

The authors attribute the success of this national standardization initiative to that the government is able to balance the interests of different stakeholders of mobile technology and market, and enroll them into the process of TD-SCDMA development and industrialization. The TD-SCDMA case demonstrates that the government in the standardization process can act as a project founder, risk undertaker, interest moderator, collaboration facilitator, and process monitor.

This study demonstrates that wholesale market concentration has decreased over time because of the increase of competition of MNOs for hosting mobile virtual network operators (MVNOs). However, differences in wholesale market shares between MNOs have not disappeared. We propose that those operators that are late entrants in a market and belong to an international group with a proactive attitude towards hosting virtual operators positively influences wholesale market shares of MNOs. The empirical analysis is based on a panel data from 2000 to 2010 corresponding to MNOs and virtual operators in five European countries with high development of the virtual mobile industry. By closely examining KPN we show how being an international mobile group specialising in the wholesale market across Europe has enabled it to exploit complementarities that exist between traditional and virtual businesses.

Adoption of new technology in rural Iran has been the main challenge and focal point of all agricultural extension activities since the modernization era of the 1950s. Consequently the rapidly growing gap between urban and rural economy has reinforced the critical role of ICT in creating an equal society. Identifying the factors which foster adoption of ICT is among the important challenges of alleviating digital divide. ICT centers attract different groups within rural communities and create a forum for unprivileged rural settlers to learn about and to use computer and internet. This paper attempts to identify the factors influencing the adoption of ICT in rural Gharn Abad's ICT center of Golestan Province. The sample included 218 individuals, who were selected by stratified random sampling method. Survey method was used, and data was analyzed by correlation as well as multiple regression techniques. Based on the results, the existence of ICT center itself, with various funding sources, reinforced the adoption regardless of the users' economic status. At the same time, the other factors such as individual, social, the households' informative & communicative, as well as the innovation related factors were found influential. This case study could be used as a sample for planning, establishing, and developing the ICT centers in the other similar situations. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd.

While advanced countries have often used centralized planning and coordination methodology to forecast and allocate the associated spectrum blocks to wireless operators for meeting the demand, it is often ad-hoc in emerging markets dictated by market forces. In this paper, Finland and India are taken to represent advanced and emerging markets, respectively. Different policy options and the policy environment in these two countries for spectrum management are explored. A causal model is constructed to represent the different variables that affect spectrum management practices and possible paths forward in these two extreme cases are highlighted. Using the causal model structure, it is hypothesized that (i) the matured markets such as Finland that practice centralized and harmonized spectrum planning are likely to continue their ex-ante policies and opt for the release of digital dividend spectrum and use of spectrally efficient technologies; (ii) the emerging market in India that is characterized by a market oriented ex-poste regulation is a good candidate to introduce secondary markets including flexible opportunistic spectrum access as exemplified by the wide spread adoption of multi-SIM handsets and the practice of national roaming by 3G service providers. Introductions of policies and regulations in these markets to break away from the extant paths are also highlighted. (c) 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

Recent years have witnessed some new regulatory movements tackling the variable interest entity structure (or the VIE structure) adopted by foreign investors in investing into China's telecoms industry. This article reviews the VIE structure and Chinese regulatory counter measures, and offers a political economy insight to Chinese telecoms policy changes.

It addresses three main research questions: (i) to what extent have market forces by themselves brought competition to retail roaming markets? (ii) Has the evolution of market dynamics in wholesale roaming improved competition? (iii) Is wholesale regulation sufficient to lead to a reduction in retail roaming prices? Data show that there has been little price-based competition both at wholesale and retail levels, despite prices being well above costs and the significant margins allowed by regulation. Available data from the period preceding the entry into force of the first EU roaming regulation also point to the same conclusion. Lack of competitive pressure in retail roaming markets and inelastic demand give little incentives for retail roaming service providers to lower prices. Wholesale international roaming markets have complex competition dynamics. They are characterized by the reciprocity of wholesale roaming agreements and traffic internalization inside transnational groups. These circumstances limit price competition at the wholesale level. The traditional regulatory approach applied to electronic communication markets has been primarily focused on wholesale regulation. However, empirical evidence shows that even if wholesale charges are reduced, retail roaming markets continue to operate at very high retail margins (for example, more than 200% retail mark-up over wholesale charges for data roaming services and incoming calls). This proves that in international roaming markets wholesale charge reductions are not necessarily passed on to retail prices. It can thus be inferred that wholesale price regulation alone is in most cases not sufficient to ensure that benefits are passed through to end users. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

Towards the national planning and in a giant movement, 10 000 centers have been established in rural areas. Because of the novelty of such centers, the authors try to measure the service quality of the rural ICT centers using the SERVQUAL model. The results can be used towards the betterment of the services. Five hypotheses including tangibility, accountability, guarantee, empathy and reliability of service were examined. Twenty four ICT centers were selected in Rasht city as sample. Considering common sense or perception, 63% of the subjects evaluated the quality of services as average. In terms of quality, empathy was ranked as the ideal dimension followed by tangibility, certainties, trust, and guarantee, respectively. However, the least appropriate dimension of quality was given to accountability. In terms of expectation, the highest percentage of individuals, that is, 92% believed that quality of services was important, and believed that among the components of quality indices from the most to the least important items were: reliability, tangibility, accountability, guarantee, and empathy consecutively. This research showed that the SERVQUAL model can be used for determine the quality of services offered by Tele-centers in rural areas. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

Both focus on the use by Internet service providers of a new capability known as deep packet inspection (DPI). DPI was used by major network operators in the U.S. and Canada to block or restrict the speed of peer to peer file sharing traffic by their customers. In both cases, DPI implementations led to public protests, litigation and major regulatory proceedings. In both cases, network neutrality norms were used to challenge DPI deployments. The paper's descriptive comparison is supplemented by quantitative data drawn from the use of Glasnost, a network test that allows third parties to detect BitTorrent throttling via DPI. The paper asks whether the use of DPI by ISPs disrupted the way the Internet is regulated, and whether political and institutional factors alter or constrain DPI use. It finds that the power to shape traffic flows redistributes control among actors in the Internet ecosystem, generating broad political economy debates about efficiency, fairness, innovation and transparency. But the actual results of those conflicts are indeterminate, reflecting institutional and historical contingencies. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

However, research has focused primarily on the supply side of broadband roll-out, while the demand side has been somewhat neglected. This article illustrates the complexity of broadband adoption and argues that a rural adoption approach needs to draw on existing social meaning systems. By focusing on the user motivation for broadband, this article presents findings from a qualitative study of rural residents. Means-end theory was used as a framework for understanding these motives. Furthermore, the article adapts the FCB grid as a tool for both public and private providers of broadband to examine effective rural promotion strategy. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd.

The fairly large amount of spectrum that will be freed up in the analog TV switch-off is known as the digital dividend. Many EU countries have decided to partially allocate these frequencies, through market mechanisms, to mobile use, but a large fraction of the dividend is supposed to remain in the hands of broadcasters. An efficient management of the spectrum requires that the use of this resource should be supported through appropriate incentive policies. This paper presents a techno-analytical approach to evaluate the opportunity cost of using a spectrum portion within the digital dividends' bandwidths, for example around 800-900 MHz, for both DVB-T and UMTS services, specifically addressing the extraordinary rise in the use of mobile broadband in the European context. The methodology is then applied to Italy to derive a baseline for administered prices reflecting the cost of spectrum use. Results obtained are then compared with existing evidences from other studies and Countries' experiences. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd.

At the same time, in Spain, the adoption of new technologies for the digitization of the agri-food sector has been proposed as a solution to address structural issues such as lack of competitiveness and innovation. In fact, systems using blockchain-related technologies for food control and traceability have seen great progress in recent years and, currently, the use of blockchain in supply chain management is almost doubling year on year. In this context, this paper investigates the level of development of blockchain technology in the agri-food sector in Spain and its applications for certifying food production conditions within the supply chain, and how it is supported by public policies. It identifies several challenges that need to be addressed for a widespread adoption could take place, such as data recorded on the blockchain, lack of standards, limited scope of projects, and integration of data capture automatically or with other technologies like RFID and AI. The document proposes to reorient public development policies to address these challenges, such as reusing data from, already in place, European data collections for production control and food traceability, educating users and stakeholders about the use of blockchain technology, and fostering legal and technical provisions which ensure system transparency to facilitate a successful implementation of blockchain.", "Addresses": "[Martinez-Castaneda, Monica] Univ Politecn Madrid UPM, Madrid, Spain; [Feijoo, Claudio] Univ Politecn Madrid UPM, Technol Diplomacy, Madrid, Spain; [Martinez-Castaneda, Monica] C Rafael Calvo 28 2 C, Madrid 28010, Spain", "Affiliations": "Universidad Politecnica de Madrid; Universidad Politecnica de Madrid", "Reprint Addresses": "Martínez-Castañeda, M (corresponding author), Univ Politecn Madrid UPM, Madrid, Spain.", "Email Addresses": "monica.martinez.castaneda@alumnos.upm.es; claudio.feijoo@upm.es", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "Martinez-Castaneda, Monica/0000-0003-3362-2191", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 47.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 3.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 3.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 10.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 21.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

Nevertheless, does the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) improve agricultural households' welfare? To answer this, the study used a nationally representative household survey, the Comprehensive Food Security and Vulnerability Analysis (CFSVA) carried out in 2017 in Benin. The survey covered a sample of 15 000 households, however, the analysis focused on the 6502 agricultural households. An endogenous switching regression model was employed to control for selection bias and endogeneity issues. Results indicated that the use of ICT increases households' consumption expenditure by 89.6%. This implies that the use of ICT improves agricultural households' welfare. Other variables that affect agricultural households' welfare include age, marital status, farm size, access to credit, ownership of livestock, membership in a farmer-based organization, and region of residence. Furthermore, the decision to use ICT in agricultural households depends on the level of education, age, sex, marital status, farm size, access to credit, ownership of livestock, membership in a farmer based organization, and location. These findings suggest that policies that promote the use of ICT are key to improving welfare of agricultural households in Benin.

We exploit the variation in GDP and employment that happened between 2019 and 2020 as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic outbreak, and we investigate whether UBB investments had an impact on economic resilience. We use micro-level data on UBB exposure in 2019 matched with municipality-level information on local GDP and employment levels based on tax declarations for the period 2019-2020. We address the endogeneity between UBB and local income by exploiting the distance from the closest backbone node of the upstream telecommunication network. We find that exposure to UBB mitigates the negative effect of the pandemic on local employment. One additional year of UBB exposure increases local employment by 1.3 percentage points. The effect is stronger in areas hit more severely by the pandemic, thus confirming the role of advanced broadband infrastructures on the economic resilience from negative shocks.", "Addresses": "[Abrardi, Laura] Politecn Torino, Dept Management, Cso Duca Abruzzi 24, Turin, Italy; [Sabatino, Lorien] Politecn Torino, Dept Management, Corso Duca Abruzzi 24, Turin, Italy", "Affiliations": "Polytechnic University of Turin; Polytechnic University of Turin", "Reprint Addresses": "Sabatino, L (corresponding author), Politecn Torino, Dept Management, Corso Duca Abruzzi 24, Turin, Italy.", "Email Addresses": "Laura.Abrardi@polito.it; Lorien.Sabatino@polito.it", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "Sabatino, Lorien/0000-0002-2116-7315", "Funding Orgs": "Ministero dell'Istruzione, dell'Universita e della Ricerca, Italy [TESUN - 83486178370409, CAP. 1694 TIT. 232 ART. 6]", "Funding Name Preferred": "Ministero dell'Istruzione, dell'Universita e della Ricerca, Italy(Ministry of Education, Universities and Research (MIUR))", "Funding Text": "We thank the Editor and two anonymous reviewers for useful comments and suggestions to a previous version of the paper.

The Federal Communications Commission has detailed data on broadband subscriptions from its semi-annual Form 477 collection. The USDA's National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) releases a complete census of agriculture every five years to measure agricultural activity. By pairing periodic releases of the Form 477 data collection with information on farm production expenses and crop yields from corresponding releases of the Census of Agriculture, the analysis directly evaluates the benefit of rural broadband development on the U.S. farming industry. Overall, I find evidence of crop yield improvements from increased Internet penetration rates at thresholds of 25 Megabits-per-second download and 3 Megabits-per-second upload speeds. Among the findings, doubling the number of 25+/3+ connections per 1000 households is associated with a 3.79% increase in corn yields, as measured in bushels per acre. I also find some evidence of cost savings at thresholds of 10 Megabits-per-second download and 0.768 Megabitsper-second upload speeds. Doubling the number of 10+/0.768+ connections per 1000 households is associated with a 2.41% decrease in operating expenses per farm operation.

People previously excluded from the financial system have started to have access to financial services such as receiving and sending remittances, saving, and borrowing. This study examines the effect of network accessibility on the use of mobile money in six developing countries (Bangladesh, Kenya, Nigeria, Pakistan, Tanzania, and Uganda) using GPS information on each household and mobile phone network coverage maps. We find that among these six countries, network accessibility is associated with the use of mobile money in a robust way only in Pakistan and Tanzania. In those two countries, when a household location becomes 10 km closer to the center of the area with multiple mobile networks, the probability of using mobile money increases by 10 percent. In the other countries, we did not find a robust relationship between the use of mobile money and network accessibility. This suggests that increasing network accessibility may not be an efficient method for increasing mobile money adoption in certain countries. The fact that mobile money use rates differ between Tanzania and Pakistan also suggests that the effect of mobile networks is unrelated to the overall level of mobile money adoption.", "Addresses": "[Naito, Hisahiro] Univ Tsukuba, Grad Sch Humanities & Social Sci, Tennodai 1-1-1, Tsukuba, Ibaraki, Japan; [Yamamoto, Shinnosuke] Univ Tsukuba, Coll Int Studies, Tennodai 1-1-1, Tsukuba, Ibaraki, Japan", "Affiliations": "University of Tsukuba; University of Tsukuba", "Reprint Addresses": "Naito, H (corresponding author), Univ Tsukuba, Grad Sch Humanities & Social Sci, Tennodai 1-1-1, Tsukuba, Ibaraki, Japan.", "Email Addresses": "naito@dpipe.tsukuba.ac.jp; shinno6132@gmail.com", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "", "Funding Orgs": "faculty research fund of the University of Tsukuba", "Funding Name Preferred": "faculty research fund of the University of Tsukuba", "Funding Text": "H.N. appreciates financial support from the faculty research fund of the University of Tsukuba.", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 41.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 4.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 4.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 3.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 10.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

Typically, mobile phones are designed with a view towards obsolescence for users in industrially developed countries, as the expected repair in these circumstances is minimal. In contrast, in developing countries, such as India, these phones are constantly repaired and are owned several times by different people before their final demise. Therefore, to support repairability, a field study based in Mumbai, India, was conducted to understand the cognitive basis of repair. The results were further analyzed using a cognitive work analysis framework that provides insight into the possibilities for informational requirements for design. The findings indicate that small-scale repair shops (3-4 repairmen) and the hole-in-the wall shops (1 repairman) can benefit from the intervention in terms of informational support for the repair activity. If the cognitive dimension of repair is supported for these low-cost repair shops, we can expect an increase in the capability and efficacy of the repairmen, resulting in fewer phones ending up as e-waste. Thus, due to its low cost, informational diagrams that support the repair activity can be incorporated by the manufacturer without any radical changes in existing proprietary technology, resulting in the possibility for the long-term growth of the repair ecology in a country such as India.", "Addresses": "[Kant, Vivek; Tapia, Ridhima; Mondal, Saikat] Indian Inst Technol, IDC Sch Design, Human Factors & Sociotech Syst Studios, Mumbai 400076, Maharashtra, India", "Affiliations": "Indian Institute of Technology System (IIT System); Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) - Bombay", "Reprint Addresses": "Kant, V (corresponding author), Indian Inst Technol, IDC Sch Design, Human Factors & Sociotech Syst Studios, Mumbai 400076, Maharashtra, India.", "Email Addresses": "vivek.kant@iitb.ac.in", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "", "Funding Orgs": "Indian Institute of Technology Bombay [Spons/ID/10001742-2/2018]", "Funding Name Preferred": "Indian Institute of Technology Bombay", "Funding Text": "The authors would like to thank all the participants for taking the time to show us the inner-world of mobile repair in Mumbai, India.

This paper empirically investigates the impact of ICT penetration on economic growth of four South Asian economies (India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka) for the period from 1995 to 2016. We used the three core ICT indicators (i.e. fixed-phone subscribers, mobile-phone subscribers, and internet users) individually and in composite index form developed through Principal Component Analysis (PCA). To estimate the long run relationship, study used the multiple cointegration tests like panel cointegration and Fully Modified Ordinary Least Square (FMOLS) technique and Panel VECM model particularly to investigate the short-run dynamics. Study finds that, ICT penetration in both forms (i.e. ICT composite index and its individual form) have a long run positive relationship with the economic growth of South Asian economies, supporting the leapfrogging hypothesis. We also find that, internet users penetration has more pronounced effects on economic growth followed by mobile-phone subscribers' penetration and fixed-phone subscribers' penetration, respectively. It suggests that if sampled countries seek to enhance their economic growth in the long run, they should implement particular policies that facilitate ICT with keen focus on internet usage.", "Addresses": "[Hussain, Ammar; Batool, Irem; Akbar, Minhas; Nazir, Marina] COMSATS Univ Islamabad, Dept Management Sci, Sahiwal Campus, Sahiwal, Pakistan", "Affiliations": "COMSATS University Islamabad (CUI)", "Reprint Addresses": "Akbar, M (corresponding author), COMSATS Univ Rd,Off GT Rd, Sahiwal 57000, Punjab, Pakistan.", "Email Addresses": "ammarhussain572@gmail.com; irembatool@cuisahiwal.edu.pk; minhasakbar@cuisahiwal.edu.pk; skydivemorale94@gmail.com", "Researcher Ids": "Nazir, Marina/AER-6987-2022; Akbar, Minhas/AAQ-5007-2020; Hussain, Ammar/IZQ-2330-2023", "ORCIDs": "Nazir, Marina/0000-0002-1557-4686; Hussain, Ammar/0000-0003-1443-6131; Akbar, Minhas/0000-0002-6639-0553", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 83.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 30.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 30.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 1.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 19.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

We propose two solutions to the funding problem: A near-term funding reform proposal that widens the revenue base by replacing the current definition of assessable services (interstate and international) with a more inclusive definition of all communication services that have a telecommunications component. A longer-term strategy is to expand the revenue base to include basic utility network revenues.

After a period of sustained development in the sector numerous countries are moving toward government-led network deployments. Even though it may appear as if the pendulum swung back to the previous 1990s period of government-led development, this paper argues persistent regional disparities in access and adoption of new technologies generated a need for public action in the second reform. By analyzing the Mexican case and comparing the policy choices in each one of the reforms, this paper sheds light on how particular policy decisions in the first reform generated inefficient market solutions and were key in creating a perception of the need for stronger public action. In both reforms, the policymaking process was carried out by a small elite that negotiated its contents behind closed doors. Paradoxically, within the transition to democracy, in the second reform, the leaders of the major political parties established a closed-door agreement. Even though the 2013 telecommunications reform improved the status quo, it did not decrease market concentration and, once again, we face low levels of investment and high levels of digital exclusion. By reconstructing the policy decision process in each reform, this paper argues that the closed-door policy choices taken, which were the result of the interaction of political actors with their own agenda and interests, hampered the most efficient solutions.", "Addresses": "[Mariscal Aviles, Judith] Ctr Invest & Docencia Econom CIDE, Ctr Teaching & Res Econ, Carretera Mexico Toluca 3655, Mexico City 01210, DF, Mexico", "Affiliations": "", "Reprint Addresses": "Avilés, JM (corresponding author), Ctr Invest & Docencia Econom CIDE, Ctr Teaching & Res Econ, Carretera Mexico Toluca 3655, Mexico City 01210, DF, Mexico.", "Email Addresses": "judith.mariscal@cide.edu", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 69.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 4.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 5.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 0.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 4.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

In 2014, 80% of the highest 10 percent (decile) in the income distribution had access to mobile communications, while only 30% of the lowest decile did. The same figures for 2016 are 84% and 40%. This report sets out to review some of these numbers and places them within the narrative of asymmetric regulation and other reforms which Mexico adopted in 2013/14. Among our observations is that buyers of mobile communications services in the lowest decile in 2014 spent 6% of their income on that service while those in the highest decile spent only 2%. Over the next 2 years, mobile communications prices fell by 36%; this fall in the prices of mobile communications followed regulatory reforms in the sector which were introduced in 2013/4. An interesting component of these reforms was the imposition on the preponderant operator of asymmetric access charges, which reduced its mobile termination rates to zero. This means that a policy that, in principle, was not even aimed at, designed, or considered for the poor had a real strong impact on this group of the population.", "Addresses": "[Mariscal, Elisa, V] Ctr Invest & Docencia Econom CIDE, Carretera Mexico Toluca 3655, Mexico City 01210, DF, Mexico; [Mariscal, Elisa, V] Global Econ Grp GEG Mexico, La Presa 169 PB, Mexico City 10200, DF, Mexico; [Cave, Martin E.] London Sch Econ, Houghton St, London WC2A 2AE, England; [Cave, Martin E.] UK Gas & Elect Markets Author GEMA, 10 South Colonnade, London E14 4PU, England", "Affiliations": "University of London; London School Economics & Political Science", "Reprint Addresses": "Mariscal, EV (corresponding author), Ctr Invest & Docencia Econom CIDE, Carretera Mexico Toluca 3655, Mexico City 01210, DF, Mexico.", "Email Addresses": "martin.e.cave@btinternet.com; evmariscal@gmail.com", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "Mariscal, Elisa/0000-0002-7293-1993", "Funding Orgs": "PIRCE (Programa Interdisciplinario de Regulaci.on y Competencia) at CIDE (Centro de Investigaci.on y Docencia Econ.omicas)", "Funding Name Preferred": "PIRCE (Programa Interdisciplinario de Regulaci.on y Competencia) at CIDE (Centro de Investigaci.on y Docencia Econ.omicas)", "Funding Text": "This paper was financed by PIRCE (Programa Interdisciplinario de Regulaci.on y Competencia) at CIDE (Centro de Investigaci.on y Docencia Econ.omicas).

Over 60 percent of Burkinabe adults are excluded from financial services by banks and other nonbank financial institutions, so mobile money is expected to bridge this gap. Accounting for the importance of financial inclusion with the rapid prevalence of mobile money, this paper assesses the effects of financial inclusion and mobile money use on an individual's nonmonetary welfare in Burkina Faso by applying matching methods. The results confirm the significant role of financial inclusion in alleviating poverty. More importantly, our analysis shows that once individuals access financial services through mobile money, such favorable effects on poverty alleviation become more substantial. Financial regulators in Burkina Faso should promote financial inclusion with mobile money to ensure the efficient enhancement of individual welfare with poverty reduction.", "Addresses": "[N'dri, Lasme Mathieu] Hiroshima Univ, Grad Sch Int Dev & Cooperat, 1-5-1 Kagamiyama, Higashihiroshima, Hiroshima 7398529, Japan; [N'dri, Lasme Mathieu] Univ Felix Houphouet Boigny, 01 BPV 34, Abidjan 01, Cote Ivoire; [Kakinaka, Makoto] Hiroshima Univ, Network Educ & Res Peace & Sustainabil NERPS, 1-3-1 Kagamiyama, Higashihiroshima, Hiroshima 7398530, Japan", "Affiliations": "Hiroshima University; Universite Felix Houphouet-Boigny; Hiroshima University", "Reprint Addresses": "N'dri, LM (corresponding author), Hiroshima Univ, Grad Sch Int Dev & Cooperat, 1-5-1 Kagamiyama, Higashihiroshima, Hiroshima 7398529, Japan.", "Email Addresses": "lasmemathieu@hiroshima-u.ac.jp; kakinaka@hiroshima-u.ac.jp", "Researcher Ids": "Kakinaka, Makoto/O-2150-2015", "ORCIDs": "Kakinaka, Makoto/0000-0003-2349-1976", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 83.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 48.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 51.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 4.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 36.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

As such, there is a debate over whether both services are interrelated and constitute a joint product market, which has important implications for the current wave of mergers in the mobile industry and regulation policy. To the best of our knowledge, this work is the first to provide an empirical analysis of how the consumption of OTT messengers affects demand for text messaging and mobile voice services. We make use of an innovative dataset which includes very detailed information on smartphone usage in Norway and consider a novel approach to address this question which is embedded in the complexity of two-sided markets. Interestingly, our findings suggest that OTT messengers complement demand for traditional mobile telecommunication services for this context. Consequently, both markets are interrelated but do not constitute a joint market from the perspective of competition policy in Norway. Moreover, we find an explanation for why reductions of text messaging usage have been so drastic in some countries and an analogous development for mobile voice is rather unlikely.

The sector was mostly composed by a dominant player, a rationed market (low density of services), a poor institutional design, high tariffs, and weak regulation agents. The Herfindahl-Hirschman (HHI) index was 5333 for mobile telephone and 7,029 for fixed telephone services-among the highest scores in the world. In order to promote competition in the sector, Congress approved a reform in 2013 to establish a new regulator empowered to impose asymmetrical rules in the case of the predominance of a single firm. A declaration of preponderance of the dominant player was issued, promoting free interconnection rates and the mandatory sharing of its passive and active infrastructure with the rest of the firms in the industry. The new institutional design led to increased competition in the sector, decreasing the mobile and fixed telephone prices while increasing the coverage and penetration of these services. In this article, an applied general equilibrium model for the Mexican economy is employed to assess the impact of the Telecommunication Reform in Mexico in the telephone sector, consumer welfare, and income distribution. The model is static, encompassing 10 types of consumers (rural and urban and the five income quintiles) and 40 sectors (of which four are disaggregate telecommunications industries). It assumes fixed wages and capital rental prices as well as idle resources.

Reasons for the failure of legacy regulation to promote product innovations are explained and proposals for alternatives, such as deregulation and regulatory reform are discussed. Both regulation and competition policy are more difficult for ICT than for other sectors. Therefore both, regulation and competition policy may need reforms in order to deal with new problems. The most drastic and most realistic alternative to legacy-type regulation remains deregulation and a move to competition policy. Symmetric regulation, smart regulation, quasi-Coasean approaches and subsidies all have some limited applicability to specific situations, but are all associated with complications that have to be resolved, while competition policy is a comprehensive alternative. Last mile access and gatekeeper access are analyzed as two main areas of legacy regulation, which are in danger of being exported to other ICT areas. Such exports may negatively affect the dynamics of the ICT industry.

However, there have been different elements within the international radio regulations that did have a restrictive influence on the African international spectrum policy during WRC-15. In particular, the discussion within ITU-R Region 1 highlighted different requirements between the African countries and other countries in Region 1 and also within the African continent per se with some of the African countries' proposals not progressing. Moreover, a majority of the African countries opposed global IMT identification in the lower UHF band (470-694 MHz) although most of them have limited broadcasting needs. Having said that, the examination of the interaction between the international spectrum management regime and Africa's international spectrum policy has revealed some elements of restriction. Firstly, the a priori planning concept could be considered as a restriction over any change to the spectrum use in the UHF band. Secondly, it seems that harmonisation within Region 1 is mostly interpreted as the harmonisation of Africa with Europe considering that the current ITU-R three regions system does not reflect in practice regional spectrum use. Thirdly, IMT identification is not necessary for Africa, which has already the potential to act alone independently of the other Region 1 countries and not necessarily in alignment with the RR. Fourthly, reaching a unified position is quite difficult for the African continent considering the different interests of the African sub-regional groups with large countries influencing such a position. Overall, our main message is that it is not a condition anymore for the African countries to look at the ITU-R for the way to go.", "Addresses": "[El-Moghazi, Mohamed; Irvine, James] Univ Strathclyde, Glasgow G1 1XQ, Lanark, Scotland; [Whalley, Jason] Northumbria Univ, Newcastle Business Sch, Newcastle Upon Tyne, Tyne & Wear, England; [Whalley, Jason] Inst Mines & Telecoms, TELECOM Ecole Management, Evry, France", "Affiliations": "University of Strathclyde; Newcastle University - UK; Northumbria University", "Reprint Addresses": "El-Moghazi, M (corresponding author), Univ Strathclyde, Glasgow G1 1XQ, Lanark, Scotland.", "Email Addresses": "moghazi666@hotmail.com; jason.whalley@northumbria.ac.uk; j.m.Irvine@strath.ac.uk", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "Irvine, James/0000-0003-2078-6517", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 93.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 2.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 2.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 0.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 3.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

Regardless whether the investment sharing agreement occurs, market exclusion of the facility-based outsider does not hold. Considering the prevalence of the investment sharing agreement, it is not necessarily true that each insider contributes with an investment share of 50% since there may exist a trade-off between bargaining power and investment participation. Although full integration avoids duplication of investment costs, social welfare may be higher under partial integration. Presuming the increasing run for fiber, the framework proposes the inclusion of a fourth service-based operator that requires access to the fiber network infrastructure held by the consortium. This maydefine a tight oligopoly with simultaneous presence of investment sharing agreement. The service based outsider is excluded from the retail market when the wholesale access price is unregulated. Subsequently, market exclusion depends on the competitive nature of the outsider firm. Finally, the framework reveals the conditions that legitimize ex-post regulation of the wholesale access price of fiber. An asymmetric regulatory intervention at the wholesale access price level is justified as a means of improving social welfare if the investment effort is excessively high. The same applies if the investment effort is intermediate, provided that an excessively high gap exists between the vertical spillover that affects the fiber consortium in relation to the vertical spillover that affects the cable operator.

While in Kenya upwards of 50 percent of the population uses mobile payments platforms, in Mexico the proportion is barely above 2 percent. Drawing on interviews and secondary sources, this paper finds that the actors and the politics surrounding diffusion are key to success. Specifically, regulatory capture sheds light on the extent to which a highly regulated financial sector may seek to protect itself from competition from the telecommunication sector via mobile payments regulation they advocate for and even help formulate. In Mexico, the bank-led regulatory model of mobile payments has limited the diffusion of the service to the unbanked population because of regulatory capture by the banking industry. In Kenya, by contrast, the Mobile Network Operator (MNO)-led model has resulted in much higher rates of diffusion and reflects the extent to which telecommunications firms have played a decisive role in designing the regulatory regime and the limiting the impact of financial industry capture in that country.

Using data on consumer telephone service choices, along with geographic data on cellular network infrastructure and software applications, we estimate the demand for telephone services. We allow for the possibility that consumers purchase both landline and wireless service. Among our results, we find evidence that smartphones are much stronger substitutes to landlines than traditional wireless services, suggesting the growth of smartphones may speed up the decline of landline services. Using our demand estimates, we estimate the effect that smartphone availability has had on consumer welfare. We estimate that average monthly surplus (per-consumer) from smartphone introduction is approximately $35.50, which implies an aggregate monthly consumer surplus of approximately $7.03 billion for wireless consumers in the United States. This welfare increase is due to the expanded consumer choice set, as well as the effect that smartphone growth has had on improvements in cellular networks and a reduction in the price of wireless voice services.

However, clear policy conclusions on the effect of OA regulation were usually precluded by a fundamental lack in common understanding what actually defines an OA policy and along which dimensions of OA regulation can be structured. This paper attempts to reconcile these diverse views by offering a definition and a conceptual framework by which OA endeavors can be identified and uniquely classified. The framework encompasses, among others, mandated OA regulation of vertically integrated firms, public-sector participation, co-investments, and OA in the context of vertical separation. Along this framework, the extant economic literature is surveyed with regard to aspects of competition and social welfare, investment and innovation, as well as practical and legal issues. Based on these insights, a policy guideline is developed that shall assist policy makers in identifying the appropriate OA scenario for the regulation of telecommunications infrastructure.

So said then-Chairman of the FCC Genachowski in a recent proceeding, and this sentiment is widely heard. However, we are aware of very few engineering studies that have a bearing on this matter, and their conclusions are equivocal. Beyond this, evidence for congestion problems in the 2.4 GHz ISM band is anecdotal at best. While some users no doubt sometimes have service difficulties they ascribe to congestion, that is not sufficient to prove that there is a policy problem. In order to provide a basis for policy decisions, we offer an analysis of congestion metrics and results in the engineering literature. We conclude that there is little consensus on how to measure congestion, and that network metrics are difficult to correlate with user experience. We therefore propose a list of user experience-oriented service impairment criteria that, if met, would demonstrate that congestion exists to a degree that justifies regulatory intervention: For more than one of the key scenarios that are supported by an operator or technology there is a significant increase in the percentage of users who cannot complete a valuable task on a persistent, ubiquitous basis in spite of the use of state-of-the-art engineering/deployment best practices, and users' willingness to pay the market rate for the best available service level. Based on our assessment of public reports and experimental data, we conclude that there is currently no evidence for pervasive Wi-Fi congestion. We do not claim that the absence of evidence of congestion amounts to evidence for the absence of congestion. However, we do question the argument that congestion occurring somewhere, sometimes is a justification for regulatory intervention. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd.

We survey the main methodological properties of these indicators, and highlight their heuristic potential. Further, we address empirically the issue of the explanation of the availability scores, i.e. how the supply of the various e-services in each country is affected by political, institutional and socio-economic differences, and is followed by actual usage. The econometric analysis uncovers the importance of broadband penetration and higher education as drivers for most of the types of e-services and users (citizens and businesses). Moreover, a corruption-free and agile public sector proves to be an important pre-condition for more effective supply and usage. Despite data limitations and the complexity of the underlying diffusion phenomena, our study is the first truly longitudinal contribution aimed at disentangling the common drivers of such an important phenomenon - the e-services availability and usage across European countries. As such, this work appears useful to inform the policy debate and practice, in a phase characterized by a prospective reorientation of the public e-services provision and policy agenda.

This study highlights the importance of institutional governance on telecommunications efficiency and provides empirical results for the impact of institutions on reform outcomes. It provides significant evidence that the institutional environment in which reform progress takes place is an important determinant for successful reform. This study uses the stochastic distance function approach to capture the role of institutions in explaining efficiency differences across 70 countries. The empirical analysis reveals that policy stability in the form of substantive checks and balances on executive power is the most important aspect for successful reform. Independently, legal integrity improves telecommunications efficiency through privatization, while greater freedom from corruption influences the effectiveness of a regulatory body.

During the transition phase copper and fiber networks are operated in parallel. All regulators facing this situation of technological change have to decide how to price unbundled access to the copper loop in this transition phase. Should they keep the usual forward looking long-run incremental cost standard charge, or should they move to some different approach? The authors propose to price copper access based on the modern equivalent asset (MEA) of fiber access. Since fiber access is superior to copper access, the cost of fiber access (as a basis for pricing copper access) should, however, be corrected by the performance delta between copper and fiber access. Instead of using quality of service (QoS) differences, the authors determine the performance delta based on the market valuation of services provided over the copper and fiber access represented by the end-user prices of services and corrected by cost differences downstream of the access provision. Under this approach an access seeker becomes indifferent (on the margin) between using the copper or the fiber access network and wholesale pricing (or regulation) becomes competitively neutral towards technology choice between copper and fiber access and does not distort the platform competition towards cable. To test its practicability numerical simulations of the approach are performed by means of a quantitative competition model. The model analysis suggests that the approach leads to unique and robust results. Its main conclusion is that the method tends to be conservative relative to the theoretical case of pure vertical product differentiation, meaning that the measured performance delta underestimates the theoretical performance delta.

This paper reviews the existing evidence on the effects of copper unbundling, and presents new empirical results based on regression analyses of broadband penetration in OECD countries from 2001 to 2010. The results show that the long-run effect of copper unbundling on household broadband penetration rates is negative, a finding which is consistent with previous research, including with research suggesting that copper unbundling has slowed the deployment of FTTP infrastructures, especially in Europe. Based on an analysis of the similarities and differences between the unbundling of copper networks and fiber networks, the paper concludes that mandated unbundling of fiber networks would likely deter deployment of Next Generation Access networks (NGAs).

Making white space available is certainly useful, but there are other sharing opportunities as well, some of which have been obscured by dangerous misconceptions about the concept of unused spectrum. This paper discusses allowing more devices to operate safely in gray space spectrum, that is spectrum that is actively being used in that transmissions are underway-something many economic models assume is impossible. The paper focuses on primary-secondary sharing, so devices gaining access to spectrum operate on a secondary basis in a way that never causes harmful interference to primary systems. Examples of primary-secondary gray space sharing mechanisms are described in which devices are allowed to share spectrum with broadcasting, radar, and cellular systems. Quantitative analysis shows that it is technically possible to support significant communications among secondary devices in spectrum that is already heavily used by cellular or radar. However, gray space sharing generally causes primary and secondary systems to be more technically interdependent than white space sharing, so different policy and governance structures are needed. Secondary market rules can support gray space sharing in cases where there is a single primary spectrum user, such as a cellular carrier. In cases where technology is static, the regulator may be able to control access for secondary devices. However, in cases with multiple primary users and multiple secondary users of spectrum, as might be seen in bands with radar for example, a new kind of governance body will be needed to facilitate spectrum sharing.

Past studies undertaken on the development of Chinese information and communications technology industry adopt different approaches like bargaining, and input-output perspectives. This paper, instead, analyses the implementation of the convergence project from a new institutional perspective. It argues that that the two ministries for the telecommunications and broadcasting sectors, namely, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) and State Administration of Radio, Films and Television (SARFT) had inertia to attain mutual penetration of networks. It also argues that the ideological disparities of MIIT and SARFT cause them to respond differently to the convergence project. In order to attain the policy goal, the Central Government had to impose a reform schedule from the top and take initiatives at local level to accelerate the policy implementation. It also argues that SARFT and MIIT had developed different patterns of collaboration at local level due to institutional and competitive pressures as well as political pressure from the Central Government.

Aggregate data show clearly (1) that the share of wireless-only households has risen steadily in recent years; while (2) the price of wireless service has fallen substantially relative to traditional landline service. The aggregate data are therefore consistent with the hypothesis that wireless/wireline cross-price elasticities are positive and economically significant. However, econometric corroboration of this conjecture has proven elusive in the existing empirical literature, which has relied on clatasets compiled at the turn of the millennium, when wireless substitution was very limited. Partly in response to this dearth of econometric evidence, regulators and competition authorities in the US have generally been reluctant to conclude that wireless voice service represents a meaningful economic substitute for traditional wireline telephony. In the absence of reliable econometric estimates, even the sign of the relevant cross-price elasticities is an open question: The majority of US households maintain both a landline and at least one wireless connection, so it is unclear, ex ante, whether the two services are substitutes or complements. Thus, it is critical to identify consumer behavior at the margin. Using state-level panel data from a relatively recent time period (2001-2007), this study develops and estimates a demand system that permits evaluation of the own-price, cross-price, and income elasticities of demand for wireless and wireline telephony in the United States. A one percent decrease in the price of wireless service is estimated to decrease the demand for fixed-line service by approximately 1.2-1.3%, and the parameter estimates imply that the Slutsky symmetry holds for the demand system. These results substantially exceed prior econometric estimates from the existing empirical literature, and provide evidence that wireless voice service has evolved into a strong economic substitute for traditional landline service. The parameter estimates from the demand system suggest that roughly two thirds of observed landline attrition in the United States over the sample period is attributable to the observed decline in the relative price of wireless service.

In the first analysis, this study provides empirical evidence regarding the effects of intra-modal competition within the CAN markets and inter-modal competition from direct broadcast satellite (DBS) on market performance in the CAN industry prior to the introduction of internet protocol television (IPTV). The empirical results described herein demonstrate that intra-modal competition between two cable operators in the same franchise area tended to reduce both cable prices and operator profits, and to increase the CAN penetration rate. The strong presence of a DBS was concomitant with reductions in a cable operator's profitability and cable subscriptions. The second part of this study attempts to briefly describe the state of competition in the CAN industry for the post-IPTV period. The results demonstrate that IPTV experienced a rapid growth in its subscriptions, which exerted competitive pressures on cable prices. That is, IPTV is emerging as a close substitute for CAN shortly after its introduction. Considering the significant inter-modal competition that exists between cable and telecom operators, the results of this study indicates that a regulator should focus its policies on promoting this inter-modal competition.

One of the triggers is China's rise in 5G standardization and its lead in the telecommunications equipment market, which causes security concerns. In response, the U.S. promotes Open RAN as an alternative to the Chinese providers' proprietary solutions. It is claimed to enable the establishment and operation of open and safer networks for 5G and beyond. This paper examines why and how the U.S. promotes Open RAN and what the responses are from other countries. We find that the U.S. government's strong support for the development and dissemination of Open RAN signals its techno-nationalistic turn in international standardization. The origin of Open RAN is geopolitical in the sense that it represents a reaction to China's lead in 5G standardization. The geopolitical perspective is strengthened as we find the formation of alliances in support of Open RAN. A refreshed approach of the U.S. to standardization has introduced a new dynamic to cooperation and competition for setting the global rules on next-generation mobile communication technologies as well as emerging technologies. Standards are increasingly at the core of the ongoing geopolitical technology competition, and as such further investigation is required.", "Addresses": "[Kim, Mi-jin; Lee, Heejin] Yonsei Univ, Grad Sch Int Studies, Seoul, South Korea; [Eom, Doyoung] Yonsei Univ, Yonsei Enterprise Support Fdn, Seoul, South Korea", "Affiliations": "Yonsei University; Yonsei University", "Reprint Addresses": "Lee, H (corresponding author), Yonsei Univ, Grad Sch Int Studies, Seoul, South Korea.", "Email Addresses": "mjkim32@yonsei.ac.kr; dyeom@yonsei.ac.kr; heejinmelb@yonsei.ac.kr", "Researcher Ids": "Kim, Mi Jin/GXH-9639-2022", "ORCIDs": "Lee, Heejin/0000-0002-7333-5886; Kim, Mi Jin/0000-0003-2483-0044", "Funding Orgs": "Yonsei University", "Funding Name Preferred": "Yonsei University", "Funding Text": "This work was supported by the Yonsei University Research Grant of 2021.", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 107.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 1.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 1.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 13.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 13.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "London", "Publisher Address": "125 London Wall, London, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

In order to achieve its objectives, such an ambitious strategy must achieve a fusion of the digital and the physical ac-tivities in all sectors of the economy (public and private); in this task, achieving the policy goal of universal connectivity requires that it be efficient, while achieving equitable (or 'fair') results.The EU position is that an appropriate balance needs to be struck through regulation which pursues the twin goals of competition and investment, as is now required by the EECC.Over the past 20 years, the EU has benefitted from a successful regime of pro-competition regulation in telecommunications, which has transformed the structure of fixed markets and broadly maintained rivalry in the mobile market. However, the policy imperative of attaining universal high-speed connectivity requires the mobilisation of resources to cover remoter areas, which are less attractive to competitors. Government subsides may help, but in some Member States regulators may also have to dilute competitive pressure on the historic incumbent in order to elicit this investment. Possible ways of accomplishing this entirely legitimate task (and ensuring that the resources thus generated are applied to the relevant public purpose) are considered.In relation to 5G, questions arise about how much network sharing should be permitted to allow the construction of advanced stand-alone networks. Relevant competition cases in this area are also reviewed. Finally, the suggestion has seen made that network operators should receive resources transferred from the largest Over-The-Top operators (OTT), which are understood to be highly profitable and involved in, but which do not contribute to the cost of, infrastructure that can support the high proportion of Internet traffic. Which they carry and from which they benefit The paper discusses both the legitimacy of such an approach, if directed towards an authorised public purpose, and (briefly) the practical difficulties involved in its implementation, including ensuring that the transferred resources are deployed for the intended purposes.", "Addresses": "[Cave, Martin] London Sch Econ, London WC2A 2AE, England", "Affiliations": "University of London; London School Economics & Political Science", "Reprint Addresses": "Cave, M (corresponding author), London Sch Econ, London WC2A 2AE, England.", "Email Addresses": "martin.e.cave@btinternet.com", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 28.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 0.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 0.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 4.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 5.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

In particular, this study focuses on which country leads platform research. By interpreting the concentration of research fields that study platforms and financial funding for platform research, this article provides a new perspective on the countries leading academic platform research. Our findings show that those holding platform hegemony in the real world are also active leaders in platform research.

Unsurprisingly, this has led to concerns about their use by students in tertiary education contexts (Swiecki et al. 2022) and it has led to them being banned in some school districts in the United States (e.g. Rosenblatt 2023; Clarridge 2023) and from at least one top-ranking international university (e.g. Reuters 2023). There are legitimate reasons for such fears to be held, as it is difficult to differentiate students' own written work presented for assessment from that produced by the AI tools. Successfully embedding them into educational contexts requires an understanding of the tools, what they are, and what they can and cannot do. Despite their powerful modelling and description capabilities, these tools have (at least currently) significant issues and limitations (Zhang & Li 2021). As telecommunications policy academics charged with the research-led teaching and super-vising both undergraduate and research students, we need to be certain that our graduates are capable of understanding the complexities of current issues in this incredibly dynamic field and applying their learnings appropriately in industry and policy environments. We must be reasonably certain that the grades we assign are based on the students' own work and understanding, To this end, we engaged in an experiment with the current (Q1 of 2023) version of the AI tool to assess how well it coped with questions on a core and current topic in telecommunications policy education: the effects of access regulation (local loop unbundling) on broadband investment and uptake. We found that while the outputs were well-written and appeared plausible, there were significant systematic errors which, once academics are aware of them, can be exploited to avoid the risk of AI use severely undermining the credibility of the assessments we make of students' written work, at least for the time being and in respect of the version of chatbot software we used.", "Addresses": "[Howell, Bronwyn E.] Victoria Univ Wellington, Sch Management, Wellington, New Zealand; [Howell, Bronwyn E.; Potgieter, Petrus H.] Inst Technol & Network Econ, Cambridge, MA USA; [Potgieter, Petrus H.] Univ South Africa, Dept Decis Sci, Pretoria, South Africa", "Affiliations": "Victoria University Wellington; University of South Africa", "Reprint Addresses": "Potgieter, PH (corresponding author), Univ South Africa, Dept Decis Sci, Pretoria, South Africa.", "Email Addresses": "bronwyn.howell@vuw.ac.nz; php@grensnut.com", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "Potgieter, Petrus/0000-0003-1785-761X", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 22.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 5.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 5.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 25.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 45.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

The work presented here shows that this idea is debatable. Data from Spain, a country where daily internet users are 75.9 percent of the population, prove that the gender gap still exists. The paper explores if this gap can be entirely explained by the socioeconomic differences between men and women. We build a micro panel model and incorporate a set of socioeconomic variables (age, education, income, employment status, digital skills, and resident population) that allow us to isolate the effects of gender on the decision to become a daily Internet user. The results conclude that the Internet gap is a phenomenon with a specific gender component. Other things being equal a woman negatively affects the probability of using the Internet. Applying a similar model to 15 Internet services, we obtain that gender is always significant to explain the likelihood of being a user of each service. However, in some services (7 out of 15), the effect is favorable to women, and for other services (8), the gender effect favors men.

This divide is the result of multiple market failures in both the demand and supply of broadband access, which have been addressed through public, private and community-led initiatives. Based on interviews and ethnographic analysis, this paper explores how community networks and public-private partnerships have contributed to promoting the delivery and adoption of superfast broadband across the rural UK. The case study analysis compares the outcomes of each model, highlighting their strengths and weaknesses. Although expanding the coverage of superfast broadband across the county, the public-private partnership did not solve the access divide afflicting the hardest-to-reach areas. Some of the latter were served by the community network, which relied on volunteers and demand aggregation to reduce the cost of fibre rollout. The scalability of this approach, however, has yet to be demonstrated. On the demand side, both initiatives achieved a high take-up proving that the rural 'adoption' divide has decreased over the years. Nevertheless, more needs to be done to ensure that rural communities and businesses are able to leverage the benefits deriving from superfast broadband.", "Addresses": "[Gerli, Paolo] Edinburgh Napier Univ, Business Sch, Edinburgh, Midlothian, Scotland; [Whalley, Jason] Northumbria Univ, Newcastle Business Sch, Newcastle Upon Tyne, Tyne & Wear, England; [Whalley, Jason] Inst Mines, Evry, France; [Whalley, Jason] Telecoms Business Sch, Evry, France", "Affiliations": "Edinburgh Napier University; Northumbria University; Newcastle University - UK", "Reprint Addresses": "Gerli, P (corresponding author), Edinburgh Napier Univ, Business Sch, Edinburgh, Midlothian, Scotland.", "Email Addresses": "p.gerli@napier.ac.uk", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "Gerli, Paolo/0000-0003-4290-2136", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 69.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 12.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 12.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 14.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 48.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

What drives productivity dynamics in the information and communication technology (ICT) sector? This study examines the productivity dynamics of ICT firms across countries from the perspective of corporate balance sheets. We study the effects of intangible assets and leverage on productivity growth using firm-level panel data from five industrialized countries. We find that intangible assets positively affect the total factor productivity in the ICT sector. The positive effect of intangible assets on total factor productivity growth is larger for ICT manufacturing firms than for ICT service firms. We also find that leverage has a positive relationship with total factor productivity development in the ICT sector. In addition, our empirical results substantiated that productivity is catching up to the technological frontier. Furthermore, larger firms and/or younger firms generally show higher total factor productivity growth than their peers. Economies of scale are more prominent in the ICT service sector than in the ICT manufacturing sector.

However, few studies examine how gender differences in labor force participation and employment patterns affect ICT adoption in general, or Internet use in particular. This matters because employment and the types of jobs that men and women do correlate with different opportunities to access the Internet and develop digital skills, both of which contribute to overall Internet engagement. This study contributes to fill this gap by exploring how gender differences in employment affect the digital gender gap in four Latin American countries. The findings point to differences in employment patterns between men and women as the largest single contributor to the gender gap in Internet use in these countries, ahead of differences in other predictors of Internet use such as income, age and education. Further, our results suggest that the correlation between employment and Internet use is stronger among women than men, which we attribute to the fact that women tend to work in more ICT-intensive sectors (e.g., health services and education). Estimates from a decomposition analysis suggest that if women were employed at the same rate as men the gender digital gap in these countries would be reduced by at least a quarter.", "Addresses": "[Galperin, Hernan] Univ Southern Calif, Los Angeles, CA 90007 USA; [Arcidiacono, Malena] Univ Nacl La Plata UNLP Argentina, La Plata, Argentina", "Affiliations": "University of Southern California", "Reprint Addresses": "Galperin, H (corresponding author), Univ Southern Calif, Los Angeles, CA 90007 USA.", "Email Addresses": "hgalperi@usc.edu", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 45.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 12.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 12.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 8.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 48.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

Its aim is to assess the investment required to meet the targets set by the European Commission (EC) for 2025, within the framework of the European Gigabit Society (EGS). This plan aims to ensure the availability and take-up of very high-capacity fixed and wireless networks, in both urban and rural areas, among households and the main socio-economic drivers. The estimation model presented here uses a methodology supported by data at the local (NUTS3) level to give a bottom-up estimation of the investment gap for each of the EGS objectives, using three different scenarios depending on the mix of wired and wireless technologies offered. The methodology and estimation model used in the paper are examined against other examples and assumptions available in the literature. We also offer a dynamic perspective on the analysis of the evolution of this investment gap over the years 2017-2019, which includes an assessment of the usefulness of these estimation models. The paper concludes by identifying the need for new measures to attract investment from public and private sources, mostly in rural areas, since purely market-driven initiatives fall short by about two-thirds of the required total investment. We also highlight how estimation models, despite their apparent complexity and number of assumptions, have a proven capacity to provide sufficiently accurate figures to guide policy action at the local, regional, national and supra-national levels.

Using a rural region in Northern New York (USA), we consider the investment and operational costs of a broadband cooperative and determine service prices for which it is financially viable. Service prices need to increase 75%?131%, depending on grant restrictions, relative to existing market prices for a new broadband cooperative to become financially feasible. Put differently, the cooperative would not cash flow at market prices unless there was at least 14 potential subscribers per mile at a 62% take rate. For a cooperative, the grant restriction that providers offer a minimum level of speed at a maximum price results in a high level of subsidization by high-speed to low-speed members to support the business. Given grant funding and member equity investments, financial infeasibility has little to do with construction costs, than with annual operational and maintenance costs required to sustain the system long term. More reasonable feasibility scenarios occur for existing utility cooperatives expanding services into broadband, particularly areas with a high proportion of high-speed, year-round users and strong take rates. Consideration of public benefits of broadband arguably needs to be added to the equation, particularly surrounding access to healthcare and educational purposes, and as a prerequisite to supporting taxpayer-funded public-private partnerships to expand broadband services. Policy levers to eliminate or subsidize property taxes and pole rental costs reduce cash flow prices considerably; however, feasibility is highly sensitive to assumed take rates.", "Addresses": "[Schmit, Todd M.; Severson, Roberta M.] Cornell Univ, Charles H Dyson Sch Appl Econ & Management, Ithaca, NY 14853 USA", "Affiliations": "Cornell University", "Reprint Addresses": "Schmit, TM (corresponding author), Cornell Univ, Charles H Dyson Sch Appl Econ & Management, Ithaca, NY 14853 USA.", "Email Addresses": "tms1@cornell.edu", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "Schmit, Todd/0000-0002-7297-554X", "Funding Orgs": "Slic Network Solutions, Nicholsville, NY, USA [78944/A001]; United States Department of Agriculture, Rural Development", "Funding Name Preferred": "Slic Network Solutions, Nicholsville, NY, USA; United States Department of Agriculture, Rural Development", "Funding Text": "This work was supported by a project agreement with Slic Network Solutions, Nicholsville, NY, USA (project number 78944/A001) , under an agreement with the Municipality of Franklin County, NY, USA, who received funding from the United States Department of Agriculture, Rural Development through their Rural Business Development Program (Washington, DC, USA) .

Building upon the theoretical model proposed by Basu et al. (2003), we include several features to account for two important aspects of ICT: complementarity with other intangibles, and externalities among different sectors. We propose several measures of externalities, distinguishing between foreign and domestic spillovers, and interand intra-industry spillovers. We focus on domestic spillovers, and compare a standard measure with a measure computed by weighting the ICT capital of other industries with bilateral sectoral trade. We find that results are affected by the way spillovers are measured. Evidence in favour of domestic externalities is only found when using the second measure, meaning that spillover effects only exist among industries that are connected via international trade. Foreign spillover effects are not detected. \\", "Addresses": "[Kim, Keungoui; Bounfour, Ahmed; Nonnis, Alberto; Ozaygen, Altay] Univ Paris Saclay, RITM, 54 Bd Desgranges, F-92330 Sceaux, France; [Kim, Keungoui; Bounfour, Ahmed; Nonnis, Alberto; Ozaygen, Altay] European Chair Intangibles, Fac Jean Monnet, 54 Bd Desgranges, F-92330 Sceaux, France", "Affiliations": "Universite Paris Cite; Universite Paris Saclay", "Reprint Addresses": "Bounfour, A (corresponding author), Univ Paris Saclay, RITM, 54 Bd Desgranges, F-92330 Sceaux, France.", "Email Addresses": "ahmed.bounfour@universite-paris-saclay.fr", "Researcher Ids": "Kim, Keungoui/Y-2668-2019", "ORCIDs": "Kim, Keungoui/0000-0002-0839-8813; Bounfour, Ahmed/0000-0002-3158-3582; Nonnis, Alberto/0000-0002-8071-5895; Ozaygen, Altay/0000-0001-5594-5245", "Funding Orgs": "European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme [822259]; H2020 Societal Challenges Programme [822259] Funding Source: H2020 Societal Challenges Programme", "Funding Name Preferred": "European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme(Horizon 2020); H2020 Societal Challenges Programme(Horizon 2020European Union (EU)H2020 Societal Challenges Programme)", "Funding Text": "The research has been conducted within the GLOBALINTO project, which is funded under the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 822259.", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 52.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 15.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 15.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 8.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 21.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "London", "Publisher Address": "125 London Wall, London, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

On the one hand, macro-level approach in the empirical literature of network effects commonly use the assumption that a network's overall size matters more to consumers' decisions (global network effects). On the other hand, micro-level studies have suggested that social networks are more relevant to consumers' choices than the overall network size (local network effects). Based on microdata from five Latin American countries, we compare the choice of a particular operator over choosing the largest operator by individual consumers. Our research shows that country-level network size is one among a set factors that determine consumers' choices of mobile operators, once individual and operators' country presence heterogeneity are considered. We find that consumers' local network decisions are important for the choice of operator in the majority of cases considered, and that this result is conditional on the chosen operator's market share. Furthermore, network characteristics and consumer preferences, such as coverage, tariffs, and network importance also affect the choice of mobile network for the Latin American context.", "Addresses": "[Aguilar, Diego; Aguero, Aileen; Barrantes, Roxana] Inst Estudios Peruanos, Lima, Peru; [Barrantes, Roxana] Pontificia Univ Catolica Peru, Lima, Peru", "Affiliations": "Pontificia Universidad Catolica del Peru", "Reprint Addresses": "Barrantes, R (corresponding author), Horacio Urteaga 694, Lima 11, Peru.", "Email Addresses": "daguilar@iep.org.pe; aaguero@iep.org.pe; barrantes.r@pucp.edu.pe", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "Aguilar, Diego/0000-0001-9020-6317; Aguero Garcia, Aileen Milagros/0000-0001-5043-3574", "Funding Orgs": "International Development Research Centre (IDRC), Ottawa, Canada", "Funding Name Preferred": "International Development Research Centre (IDRC), Ottawa, Canada", "Funding Text": "This work was carried out thanks to the grant awarded by the International Development Research Centre (IDRC), Ottawa, Canada.

To investigate the environmental management of mobile network operators, we carried out a case study on three Korean mobile network operators including SK Telecom, KT, and LG Uplus.

To deliver on this promise of ushering in faster downloads and lower latency, mobile network operators are called upon for substantial investment in network infrastructure. Investors and operators need a clear 5G business case before making such investment. So far, very little research has been published on the topic of the 5G business case. This article studies the impact of different elements driving the business case of a 5G network. The study was performed within 3 boroughs of central London, UK, for the period 2020-2030. 5G-related costs and revenues were calculated to derive the business case. The results show that the business case for a 5G network providing mobile broadband services alone is positive over the time period 2020-2030 but has some risk in the later years of this time period. The business case is also particularly sensitive to assumptions on the revenue uplift and the rate of traffic growth which are inherently challenging to forecast. The sensitivity analysis shows that the return on investment becomes negative if both traffic and costs are significantly higher and revenues increase more slowly than our baseline forecasts. Network sharing helps to substantially improve the business case. Further research is needed to understand the business case on a regional or nationwide basis, and for a network that provides additional services beyond broadband.", "Addresses": "[Schneir, Juan Rendon; Zimmermann, Gerd; Droste, Heinz] Deutsch Telekom, Landgrabenweg 151, D-53227 Bonn, Germany; [Ajibulu, Ade; Konstantinou, Konstantinos; Bradford, Julie] Real Wireless, POB 2218, Pulborough RH20 4XB, W Sussex, England; [Canto, Rafael] Telefon I D, Zurbaran 12, Madrid 28010, Spain", "Affiliations": "Deutsche Telekom AG", "Reprint Addresses": "Schneir, JR (corresponding author), Deutsch Telekom, Landgrabenweg 151, D-53227 Bonn, Germany.", "Email Addresses": "juan.rendon-schneir@telekom.de; ade.ajibulu@real-wireless.com; kostas.konstantinou@real-wireless.com; julie.bradford@real-wireless.com; zimmermanng@telekom.de; heinz.droste@telekom.de; rafael.cantopalancar@telefonica.com", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "Bradford, Julie/0000-0003-2930-7164", "Funding Orgs": "European Commission within the Horizon 2020 Framework Program", "Funding Name Preferred": "European Commission within the Horizon 2020 Framework Program", "Funding Text": "This work has been performed within the framework of the 5G PPP program partially funded by the European Commission within the Horizon 2020 Framework Program.

Based on critical discourse analysis (CDA) of Iranian government discourse in the case of electronic fund transfer at the point of sale (EFT-POS) system, we illustrate the influence of global discourse on the policies and their contributions to the outcomes. We also analyze how policy shaped the ways in which different actors were included and allowed to participate in the implementation process. We show that enhancing the mainstream criteria like the rate of ICT adoption and diffusion, do not necessarily mean that policy will reap the expected benefits. From this standpoint, we propose that the focus of debate in policy making and defining policy objectives should move beyond setting objectives exclusively adopted from global discourse to also considering local issues and concerns. In such conditions, there will be less resistance to the government plans and fewer social challenges.", "Addresses": "[Hanafizadeh, Payam; Khosravi, Bayan] Allameh Tabatabai Univ, Fac Management & Accounting, Dept Ind Management, West End Hemat Highway, Tehran 1489684511, Iran; [Badie, Kambiz] Iran Telecommun Res Ctr, IT Dept, Tehran 1439955471, Iran", "Affiliations": "Allameh Tabataba'i University", "Reprint Addresses": "Hanafizadeh, P (corresponding author), Allameh Tabatabai Univ, Fac Management & Accounting, Dept Ind Management, West End Hemat Highway, Tehran 1489684511, Iran.", "Email Addresses": "hanafizadeh@gmail.com; khosravibayan@gmail.com; k_badie@itrc.ac.ir", "Researcher Ids": "Hanafizadeh, Payam/AAB-6850-2020", "ORCIDs": "Hanafizadeh, Payam/0000-0002-5233-987X; Khosravi, Bayan/0000-0001-9430-685X", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 97.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 15.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 17.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 5.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 18.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

This is a relevant question in Canada where, according to Statistics Canada (2017) one in 14 people work from home. This paper presents an overview of the current literature on telecommuting. We estimate the telecommuter surplus in Southwestern Ontario where the region is currently deploying one of Canada's largest publicly-funded ultra-high-speed broadband initiatives known as SouthWest Integrated Fibre Technology Inc. (SWIFT). The analysis is based on SWIFT residential and farm surveys (n = 3948) conducted in 2017. We find that an average telecommuter's surplus in terms of costs saved, including opportunity cost ranges from $8820 to $23964 per annum per telecommuter, depending on the number of days telecommuted per week for home and primary residence dwelling type. The social net benefits of telecommuting differ from its private net benefit (the focus of our paper) since the former includes both positive and negative externalities associated with telecommuting such as reduced traffic congestion, reduced probability of road accidents, as well as some workers shirking their duties (a negative impact).

We estimate the efficiency levels of the hardware and software industries in China, Japan, South Korea, and the United States (US) using stochastic frontier analysis and meta frontier analysis, and we examine the effects of the ICT ecosystem structure on efficiency levels using a Tobit regression. We find that the US, which is the global ICT leader, performs significantly better than other countries, with the biggest technology gap ratios in both hardware and software, and South Korea, which has the most hardware-centric industrial structure among the four countries, has the biggest efficiency gap between the hardware and software industries. Tobit results further reveal that a well-balanced ecosystem is important in achieving high efficiency in both hardware and software, and the effect is much higher in the software industry than in the hardware industry.", "Addresses": "[Lee, Kyoungsun; Park, Yuri] Korea Informat Soc Dev Inst, Dept ICT Strategy Res, 18 Jeongtong Ro, Jincheon Gun 27872, Chungchengbuk D, South Korea; [Lee, Daeho] Sungkyunkwan Univ, Dept Interact Sci, 25-2 Sungkyunkwan Ro, Seoul, South Korea", "Affiliations": "Sungkyunkwan University (SKKU)", "Reprint Addresses": "Park, Y (corresponding author), Korea Informat Soc Dev Inst, Dept ICT Strategy Res, 18 Jeongtong Ro, Jincheon Gun 27872, Chungchengbuk D, South Korea.", "Email Addresses": "leeks@kisdi.re.kr; yrpark@kisdi.re.kr; daeho.lee@skku.edu", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 27.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 24.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 25.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 4.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 31.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

The data was collected for 24 years; 1990-2014 (T = 27) for three main income categories, as cited by the World Bank (2015b). Based on the income categories, lower-middle-income countries have more first-mover advantages when it comes to absorbing benefits from ICT compared to lower-income and upper-income categories. Moreover, the results derived from fixed telephone lines are higher compared to mobile phone lines even though the positive impact of the latter is more robust for each income category. Although the linear impact of Internet penetration and usage is positive and significant for lower-middle-income countries, the results remain inconclusive compared to other ICT innovations. Based on policy perspective, all income groups need to strategically focus on promoting novel ICT innovations to ensure sustainable economic development, especially lower-middle-income countries which have first-mover advantages compared to lower-income and upper-income countries.", "Addresses": "[Albiman, Masoud Mohammed; Sulong, Zunaidah] Univ Sultan Zainal Abidin UniSZA, Fac Econ & Management Sci, Kuala Nerus 21300, Terengganu, Malaysia; [Albiman, Masoud Mohammed] ZRB, Zanzibar, Tanzania", "Affiliations": "Universiti Sultan Zainal Abidin", "Reprint Addresses": "Sulong, Z (corresponding author), Univ Sultan Zainal Abidin UniSZA, Fac Econ & Management Sci, Kuala Nerus 21300, Terengganu, Malaysia.", "Email Addresses": "Albimani1966@hotmail.com; zunaidah@unisza.edu.my", "Researcher Ids": "Sulong, Zunaidah/E-1766-2015", "ORCIDs": "Sulong, Zunaidah/0000-0002-4150-3136", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 58.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 78.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 79.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 2.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 29.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

Since spectrum sharing necessarily constitutes a rearrangement of rights among stakeholders, considerable focus has been on examining the risks and incentives for license holders. But for spectrum sharing to be successful, it is critical to consider the incentives and risk for the entrants as well. This problem is challenging because the entrants are emergent entities that often do not participate in the policy or research debates. Because of this diversity, it is difficult to consider incentives, so this paper focuses instead on the risks faced by spectrum entrants and their mitigation. With clear understanding of risk and mitigation strategies associated, spectrum entrants can choose the method that maximize their utilities.", "Addresses": "[Cui, Liu] West Chester Univ, Dept Comp Sci, W Chester, PA USA; [Weiss, Martin B.

The Internet Governance Forum (IGF) was formed as a potentially effective and legitimate multistakeholder governance network that could better ensure cooperation. An evaluation of the impacts of the IGF model in regional contexts, particularly developing country contexts, has gained limited attention. This study is one of the first to explore the function of the IGF model in a regional context by investigating the impacts of the East African Community's (EAC) East Africa Internet Governance Forum (EAIGF), the first regional IGF established globally. International regime theory, the theory of elite competition, and a modified version of the actor-centered institutionalism model were used to examine the power of stakeholders, including impacts of institutional endowments on stakeholder influence within the EAIGF and impacts of participation in the EAIGF on member country Internet governance tactics. Data were collected through semi-structured in-depth interviews with EAIGF participants, observations of the 2012 EAIGF meeting, and qualitative document analysis of EAIGF documents and related policy documents from EAC member states. Findings reveal the EAIGF promotes capacity building, knowledge sharing, and policy transfer within the region and has contributed to a shift in the balance of power in policymaking processes from state-centric to multistakeholder. However, the forum reinforced influence of states and stakeholders with stronger institutional endowments on the framing of policy issues within the forum. Thus, policy decisions attributed to the forum are likely reflective of the preferences of stronger stakeholders. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd.

We estimate the decision to adopt a mobile phone using panel survey data of South African households between the years 2008 and 2012, which includes interviews with all adult household members. We construct variables which approximate network effects on the household level and find that the greater the number of mobile phones in the household, the greater the likelihood that the other household members will also adopt a mobile phone. Moreover, network effects depend on who in the household adopts a mobile phone. Without within-household network effects the penetration of mobile phones of 76.4% in 2012 would be lower by about 9.9 percentage points. The decision to adopt a mobile phone is also explained by observed and unobserved consumer heterogeneity. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd.

Yet our knowledge of exactly which profile of consumers reacts to bundles of service providers, and whether they would like to purchase bundle without explicit discount information, is limited. These two research questions are addressed in the present article. We examine current bundle choices and future intent of consumers through an empirical investigation, in the context of the Turkish market, one of the most dynamic and sizeable telecom sectors in the world. We build upon the extant theoretical work with empirical evidence, especially in the context of the heavily regulated Turkish market.

The paper constructs an exploratory conceptual model of technology utilization and expenditures in Japan, induced from prior literature. Ten dependent ICT utilization and expenditure factors are posited to be related to 12 independent demographic, economic, infrastructure, education, innovation and openness factors. The relationship of the independent to dependent factors is moderated by analysis of spatial patterns of technology utilization to examine proximities and reduce spatial bias. Based on the model, a multivariate analysis identifies correlates of the nation's digital divide, including patents registered by Japanese citizens, newspaper circulation, students and pupils per capita, household expenditures on education, rural/urban status, and Japan's aged population structure which has wide generational gaps. Spatial clusters and outliers of ICTs in prefectures are analyzed, with attention to their policy impacts. Findings suggest modifications to the conceptual model. Implications of findings for the country's official national technology planning policies are considered and recommendations made to expand them. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd.

This study focuses on distribution effects of priority 2 internal connections funds from 1998 to 2012. Regressions estimate the effects of the discount matrix and effects of the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) student population on fund distribution by state. Regressions also provide per-student and per-school estimates of funds from the number of city, suburb, town, and rural students and schools per state. Treatment groups provide more detailed comparisons across the 50 states and the District of Columbia, a smaller sample of 48 states excluding New York, California, and Texas, and a quasi-experiment from FY2010. The effect of the discount rate is statistically significant, along with the number of NSLP students in the treatments. Results show that NSLP students in city locales account for a large proportion of funds directed toward New York, California, and Texas. Given these results, e-rate reformers may consider student population demographics implicit in the discount matrix to evaluate distribution of priority 2 funds. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd.

This paper analyzes possible reasons for this situation from the perspective of innovation management and economics. The CR innovation process has developed in a complex environment shaped by a combination of technology-push and market-pull forces. This paper shows that this process is being stifled by two barriers emerging from the current reliance of CR technology on opportunistic dynamic spectrum access as the sole means for entry into the wireless market. The technology-push is affected by the barrier of technological complexities linked to the requirement to protect highly sensitive incumbent systems. The market-pull forces are being negated by market lock-in and a strong status quo of well-established wireless players. This paper argues that overcoming these barriers and revitalizing the practical development of CR could be possible with the aid of light-touch governmental intervention. This could take the form of designating a dedicated CR band, which would benefit CR through less strict spectrum access requirements. A vibrant cognitive environment could flourish in this type of band, supporting CR innovation. (c) 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

The secondary spectrum market discussed here is organized by a central entity called the spectrum broker. The auctioned spectrum appears in blocks of available DVB-T channels with some transmit power constraints set-up to protect the primary users (DVB-T receivers). The bidders are institutional spectrum operators (telecommunication companies or service providers), operating in a given area. These players are characterized by heterogeneous demands concerning the spectrum bandwidth, the operation period with temporarily-exclusive rights for using the spectrum and the transmit power needed for successful transmission. Thus, the auctioned objects are non-identical and present different value for different players. Two auction models are proposed. The first one is the simultaneous auction in time domain and combinatorial in frequency and power dimension. The second proposed auction is fully combinatorial. Simulations results are also provided showing effectiveness of the analyzed auctions (high spectrum utilization ratio) and relation between the players' satisfaction, their spectrum valuation and varying competition. Finally the guidelines concerning the spectrum auctions in TVWS for the policy makers are proposed. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

Currently, a growing number of municipal fiber projects are underway or planned while the international community and the telecommunications industry are yet undecided about the role and type of municipal intervention. This paper takes a holistic view of municipal broadband in Europe, aiming to understand the factors that determine municipal strategies in fixed Next-Generation Access (NGA) networks and the implications of municipal broadband to regulation and markets. The data suggests that the determining factors are (a) the engagement of public utilities; (b) the involvement of the private sector in joint infrastructure projects; (c) the local demand for retail and wholesale services; and (d) the institutional and regulatory framework at the European and national scale. The findings of the study indicate that (a) municipal initiatives are highly dependent on national factors, thus the resulting interventions fare strong resemblance within a single country, while they can be substantially different across national contexts; (b) current EU provisions for public involvement in broadband development stimulate municipal plans for large scale arrangements; and (c) national regulatory frameworks, that primarily address vertical integrated incumbents and nationwide markets, may need adjustments to handle emerging access monopolies of regional and city broadband infrastructures.

Through its superior technical characteristics compared to previous generations of mobile technologies, 5G supports the development of innovative services and products across the whole economy. As a consequence, the potential impact of 5G is frequently described as being significant, with estimates of $1 trillion or more being added to global GDP by the end of the decade being common. For mobile operators, 5G provides an opportunity to generate new sources of revenue. This would boost their revenues, and thus their market capitalisations which have fallen in recent years as value has migrated to other parts of the digital economy. In this paper we argue that mobile operators face a number of interwoven challenges that will shape their ability to utilise 5G to generate new sources of revenues. These reflect the multi-faceted role that 5G will play in today's economy, where it is both a service in its own right but also one that enables the delivery of other services. Not only may users be unwilling to pay a premium for 5G, but as it is used in other sectors the role of mobile operators is thrown into doubt. Local licences question the role of and need for mobile operators, who may find providing 5G-enabled services to vertical industries difficult due to the nature of these sectors.", "Addresses": "[Whalley, Jason] Northumbria Univ, Newcastle, England", "Affiliations": "Northumbria University", "Reprint Addresses": "Whalley, J (corresponding author), Northumbria Univ, Newcastle, England.", "Email Addresses": "jason.whalley@northumbria.ac.uk", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 114.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 0.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 0.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 4.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 4.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "London", "Publisher Address": "125 London Wall, London, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

It is the first such measure which specifically targets hate speech on social media, by requiring large platforms to operate complaints procedures which ensure illegal content is rapidly removed. Numerous other countries have since adopted similar regulations, indicating that states increasingly turn to new school speech regulation as a regulatory strategy to tackle hate speech on social media. This paper aims to evaluate the effectiveness of new school speech regulation in as a regulatory strategy to address online hate speech, taking NetzDG as a case study.A review of relevant empirical literature shows that many features of social media platforms actively promote or encourage hate speech. Key factors include algorithmic recommendations, which frequently promote hateful ideologies; social affordances which let users encourage or disseminate hate speech by others; anonymous, impersonal environments; and the absence of media 'gatekeepers'. In mandating faster content deletion, NetzDG only addresses the last of these, ignoring other relevant factors. Moreover, reliance on individual user complaints to trigger platforms' obligations means hate speech will often escape deletion. Interviews with relevant civil society organisations confirm these flaws of the NetzDG model. From their perspectives, NetzDG has had little impact on the prevalence or visibility of online hate speech, and its reporting mechanisms fail to help affected communities.NetzDG represents an incremental, narrow approach to a complex sociotechnical problem which requires more fundamental regulatory reform. In this regard, it shows the limitations of censorship-based new school speech regulation. Rules which assert state authority by prescribing censorship of narrowly-defined content categories are ill-suited to large-scale, networked, algorithmically-curated social media, where other governance mechanisms influence user behaviour more than content deletion. The paper advocates a more systemic and preventive regulatory approach. Platforms should be required to take public interest considerations into account in all design and governance processes, aiming to shape platform environments to actively discourage users from posting or viewing hate speech, rather than simply deleting it afterwards.", "Addresses": "[Griffin, Rachel] Sci Po Paris, Law Sch, Paris, France", "Affiliations": "", "Reprint Addresses": "Griffin, R (corresponding author), Sci Po Paris, Law Sch, Paris, France.", "Email Addresses": "rachel.griffin@sciencespo.fr", "Researcher Ids": "Griffin, Rachel/JBX-9861-2023", "ORCIDs": "Griffin, Rachel/0000-0002-3925-3975", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 151.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 4.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 4.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 9.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 35.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

Mobile phone ownership (MPO) can play a key role in bridging this digital divide and achieving the Sustainable Development Goals of End poverty in all its forms everywhere, Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls, and Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages. Administrative district-level infrastructural and societal readiness to women's MPO in rural settings of Bangladesh may also influence the geospatial variation in their MPO status, which is still unexplained. In the context of rural Bangladesh, household heads substantially exert influence over women's decision-making process. However, the role of household heads' age and education on women's MPO is mostly unexplored. As in developing countries, women's MPO does not ensure its usage, investigating the possibilities of women's MPO on its usage has immense importance. Therefore, this study aims to revisit the correlates of rural women's MPO in Bangladesh and explain the administrative district-level geospatial variation in their MPO by controlling the effect of individual and household-level sociodemographic correlates of MPO. Further, this study attempts to investigate the possibilities of MPO on the extent of its usage. This study used the latest nationally representative crosssectional data from Bangladesh Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey 2019. This study reveals that the district-level readiness was a potential source of geospatial variation in the prevalence of rural women's MPO in Bangladesh. The lowest level of readiness was noticed in north-western Bangladesh. Comparatively elderly women with better education and media exposure had a considerably higher chance of MPO. Elderly household heads, especially male and less educated heads, hindered the MPO of women. This study identified MPO as a key determinant of its extent of usage.

A shortage of spectrum (or the inefficient assignment of it) is blamed, among other things, for South Africa's relatively slow LTE 4G speeds. Through historical accident, the country has two mobile data networks in addition to the four licensed mobile operators. The response of operators has been to innovate using roaming and network sharing agreements; as we explore in this paper, these have become the de facto spectrum allocation process. This paper looks at how the de facto industry structure has been moulded by spectrum holdings and sharing arrangements and asks how spectrum management could be improved. We observe that, although the number of mobile operators has effectively been reduced to 3 (a number which would raise concern in some circles), there exist a variety of arrangements between those three and other spectrum and network operators. The smallest of the current three mobile operators is still not able to offer a nationwide mobile service without a roaming agreement but, at the same time, the two larger operators depend critically on spectrum and roaming agreements themselves, mainly with the two physical data network operators that function as wholesale providers. The Independent Communications Authority of South Africa (ICASA) was established as a consequence of a new constitution that was adopted in 1996 and it helped to create new institutional arrangements for the burgeoning mobile industry. The authority has nevertheless continued to be hampered, as we shall demonstrate, by political imperatives. This has been pointed out by other authors over the past twenty years and we add to this body of evidence by considering the spectrum auction planned (again) for 2021. The 2021'' auction is in fact an iteration of the auction originally announced in May 2010 and then abandoned (Song, 2011). The same thing happened again in 2016 (Paelo & Robb, 2020). Late in 2020, the regulator again announced an auction, due to take place during 2021 but by the second quarter of the year, two of the four national operators had already obtained a court injunction to stop it. The process is intertwined with a political imperative to establish a public wireless open-access network, which we discuss in detail. We describe how the industry has navigated around policy and regulatory dysfunction and how competitive interaction among the South African operators has managed to prevail. Following Hausman & Taylor's (2013) lead in their work on the United States, in this paper we provide a commentary on apparently perverse outcomes from significant regulatory, judicial and legislative actions (or, perhaps more accurately, inactions) governing the South African mobile telecommunications industry from the commencement of the current constitutional arrangements in 1996 to the present.", "Addresses": "[Howell, Bronwyn E.] Victoria Univ Wellington, Sch Management, Wellington, New Zealand; [Howell, Bronwyn E.; Potgieter, Petrus H.] Inst Technol & Network Econ, Cambridge, MA USA; [Potgieter, Petrus H.] Univ South Africa, Dept Decis Sci, Pretoria, South Africa", "Affiliations": "Victoria University Wellington; University of South Africa", "Reprint Addresses": "Potgieter, PH (corresponding author), Univ South Africa, Dept Decis Sci, Pretoria, South Africa.", "Email Addresses": "bronwyn.howell@vuw.ac.nz; potgiph@unisa.ac.za", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "Howell, Bronwyn/0000-0001-9048-0674; Potgieter, Petrus/0000-0003-1785-761X", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 73.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 1.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 1.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 1.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 5.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

Although the FRP system may have advantages over other payment technologies, a civil lawsuit over refusing to submit facial information and a series of illegal activities related to selling facial information have raised the public?s privacy concerns, which might further engender Chinese users? resistance towards FRP. Based on privacy calculus theory and innovation resistance theory, this study builds a research model of FRP and examines it by using a cross-sectional study with 1200 Chinese users. The findings demonstrate that the perceived effectiveness of privacy policy has significant relationships with privacy control, perceived privacy risk, perceived benefits, and resistance. Both privacy control and perceived privacy risk are significantly related to privacy concerns. There is also a significant relationship between the perceived privacy risk and resistance to FRP. Meanwhile, privacy concerns positively affect user resistance, while perceived benefits negatively affect user resistance. In contrast to previous research, the perceived privacy risk has a positive impact on the perceived benefits.

Poverty is measured with the poverty headcount ratio at national poverty lines (% of the population) while inequality is proxied by the Gini coefficient, the Atkinson index and the Palma ratio. The ICT dynamics are measured with ?internet access in school?, ?virtual social network?, ?personal computers? ?mobile phone penetration?, ?internet penetration? and ?fixed broadband subscriptions?. The empirical evidence is based on interactive Generalized Method of Moments estimators from which thresholds are computed contingent on the validity of tested hypotheses. First, the Gini coefficient should not exceed 0.5618 in order for ?internet access in school? to positively affect inclusive education. Second, the poverty headcount ratio at national poverty lines (% of the population) should remain below 33.6842% in order for ?internet access in school? to favorably influence inclusive education. Third, the Palma ratio should not exceed 3.3766 in order for internet penetration to favorably affect inclusive education. Fourth, for personal computers to increase inclusive education, the Gini coefficient, Palma ratio and poverty headcount (% of the population) should not exceed 0.4781, 3.5294 and 17.7272, respectively. The study confirms the significant role technological deepening plays in advancing inclusive education by means of policies that reduce poverty and income inequality, with potentially wider applicability to other developing economies.

We find that there is a negative relationship between cable network coverage and FTTx network expansion. This restraining effect associated with cable networks contradicts the current regulatory regime, which is primarily designed to enable effective competition against the incumbent on copper- and fibre-based infrastructure. Therefore, our analysis is a crucial first step to design a sound regulatory and competitive framework to achieve the ambitious broadband targets set by the European Commission and national governments. Most importantly, we conclude that public policy makers should assess broadband markets distinctly for cable and non-cable regions to reflect the competition dynamics between cable operators and operators investing in FTTx networks.", "Addresses": "[Queder, Fabian] DICE Dusseldorf, Dusseldorf, Germany; [Queder, Fabian] MIT, 16 Speridakis Terrace, Cambridge, MA 02139 USA", "Affiliations": "Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)", "Reprint Addresses": "Queder, F (corresponding author), DICE Dusseldorf, Dusseldorf, Germany.;Queder, F (corresponding author), MIT, 16 Speridakis Terrace, Cambridge, MA 02139 USA.", "Email Addresses": "fabian.queder@hhu.de", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 52.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 1.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 1.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 0.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 4.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

In this setting and exploiting a natural experiment, a technologically restrictive policy as proposed by the European Commission is found to be ineffective in promoting fiber deployment. Policy interventions in the form of subsidies targeted at specific local infrastructure projects, however, raise the likelihood of fiber deployment by a substantial margin.

Yet, the public sector's predicament is a tragic double bind: its obligations to protect citizens from potential algorithmic harms are at odds with the temptation to increase its own efficiency - or in other words - to govern algorithms, while governing by algorithms. Whether such dual role is even possible, has been a matter of debate, the challenge stemming from algorithms' intrinsic properties, that make them distinct from other digital solutions, long embraced by the governments, create externalities that rule-based programming lacks. As the pressures to deploy automated decision making systems in the public sector become prevalent, this paper aims to examine how the use of AI in the public sector in relation to existing data governance regimes and national regulatory practices can be intensifying existing power asymmetries. To this end, investigating the legal and policy instruments associated with the use of AI for strenghtening the immigration process control system in Canada; optimising the employment services in Poland, and personalising the digital service experience in Finland, the paper advocates for the need of a common framework to evaluate the potential impact of the use of AI in the public sector. In this regard, it discusses the specific effects of automated decision support systems on public services and the growing expectations for governments to play a more prevalent role in the digital society and to ensure that the potential of technology is harnessed, while negative effects are controlled and possibly avoided. This is of particular importance in light of the current COVID-19 emergency crisis where AI and the underpinning regulatory framework of data ecosystems, have become crucial policy issues as more and more innovations are based on large scale data collections from digital devices, and the real-time accessibility of information and services, contact and relationships between institutions and citizens could strengthen - or undermine - trust in governance systems and democracy.", "Addresses": "[Kuziemski, Maciej] Harvard Univ, Berkman Klein Ctr Internet & Soc, Cambridge, MA 02138 USA; [Misuraca, Gianluca] European Commiss, Joint Res Ctr, Digital Econ Unit, Seville, Spain", "Affiliations": "Harvard University", "Reprint Addresses": "Misuraca, G (corresponding author), European Commiss, Joint Res Ctr, Digital Econ Unit, Seville, Spain.", "Email Addresses": "mkuziemski@cyber.harvard.edu; gianluca.misuraca@ec.europa.eu", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "", "Funding Orgs": "ISA2 ELISE Action [CT-EX2018D339879-101]; DG CONNECT; European Commission", "Funding Name Preferred": "ISA2 ELISE Action; DG CONNECT; European Commission(European Union (EU)European Commission Joint Research Centre)", "Funding Text": "Work on this paper has been in part conducted under the contract CT-EX2018D339879-101 funded by the ISA2 ELISE Action, and in support of the activities on AI for the public sector of the AI Watch, a joint initiative of DG CONNECT and the European Commission's Joint Research Centre.", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 55.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 122.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 126.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 42.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 216.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

The aim of this article is to identify substantial properties of spectrum access approaches to assess their suitability to 5G vertical use cases. We have defined five optional spectrum access scenarios for 5G vertical network service providers (VNSPs) in acquiring spectrum access to provide a network service to either end users or other companies. The stakeholders involved in the spectrum awarding process are identified, and their roles and targets are examined. Furthermore, the advantages and drawbacks of each scenario are covered. Following the discussion, we were able to highlight some substantive characteristics in terms of suitability assessment, namely reliability, locality and mobility, mobile network operators (MNOs) involvement, costs and time scale. These characteristics were analysed in terms of each scenario to further the scenario's suitability assessment to VNSPs' purposes.", "Addresses": "[Vuojala, Heli; Mustonen, Miia; Chen, Xianfu; Kujanpaa, Kaisa; Ruuska, Pekka; Hoyhtya, Marko] VTT Tech Res Ctr Finland, Oulu, Finland; [Matinmikko-Blue, Marja] Univ Oulu, Ctr Wireless Commun CWC, Oulu, Finland; [Kalliovaara, Juha; Talmola, Pekka] Turku Univ Appl Sci, Turku, Finland; [Nystrom, Anna-Greta] Abo Akad Univ, Sch Business & Econ, Turku, Finland", "Affiliations": "VTT Technical Research Center Finland; University of Oulu; University of Turku; Abo Akademi University", "Reprint Addresses": "Vuojala, H (corresponding author), VTT Tech Res Ctr Finland, Oulu, Finland.", "Email Addresses": "heli.vuojala@vtt.fi", "Researcher Ids": "Nyström, Anna-Greta/AAD-8012-2022", "ORCIDs": "Chen, Xianfu/0000-0002-9453-4200", "Funding Orgs": "Business Finland [4910/31/2016, 6392/31/2018]", "Funding Name Preferred": "Business Finland", "Funding Text": "This work was supported in part by Business Finland through the WIVE (4910/31/2016), and 5G-VIIMA (6392/31/2018) projects.

The standardization process is not intended to screen contributions for the significance of the contribution they make to the standard. Against this background, contribution counts are not a suitable basis for apportioning the value of a standard between different SEP holders. The measure is prone to be easily manipulated. Furthermore, apportioning royalty payments by contribution counts would exacerbate commercial considerations and opportunistic strategies, which could hamper the technical work of SDO working groups.", "Addresses": "[Baron, Justus] Northwestern Univ, Searle Ctr Law Regulat & Econ Growth, Law Sch, 375 East Chicago Ave, Chicago, IL 60611 USA", "Affiliations": "Northwestern University", "Reprint Addresses": "Baron, J (corresponding author), Northwestern Univ, Searle Ctr Law Regulat & Econ Growth, Law Sch, 375 East Chicago Ave, Chicago, IL 60611 USA.", "Email Addresses": "justus.baron@law.northwestern.edu", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 74.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 6.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 7.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 3.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 36.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

The growing importance of camera-based sensors as well as geo-awareness requirements create a need for more pronounced QoS differentiated bandwidth as well as big data processing efforts. In particular, combining QoS differentiated all-IP bandwidth capacities with local data processing within the edge cloud constitutes a new task for big data virtual network service providers, enabling deterministic guarantees for ultra-low latencies required for networked fully automated (driverless) vehicles.", "Addresses": "[Knieps, Guenter] Univ Freiburg, Chair Network Econ Competit Econ & Transport Sci, Freiburg, Germany", "Affiliations": "University of Freiburg", "Reprint Addresses": "Knieps, G (corresponding author), Univ Freiburg, Chair Network Econ Competit Econ & Transport Sci, Freiburg, Germany.", "Email Addresses": "guenter.knieps@vwl.uni-freiburg.de", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 54.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 14.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 14.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 2.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 22.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

In the United States, Form 477 data from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) provide a valuable snapshot of broadband provision at the block level, but there are often inconsistencies with the underlying data. These inconsistencies include overly-optimistic self-reports from providers, requirements to report broadband provision within inflexible census administrative units, and a modest temporal reporting schedule (biannual) with a significant, one year temporal lag. These uncertainties are often compounded by telecommunications providers refusing to disclose any information on service footprints, geographic expansion plans or the characteristics of populations served by broadband. This type of obfuscation drastically limits the ability of policy analysts to evaluate outcomes (both positive and negative) associated with service provision and the digital divide, more generally. With the recent entry of Google Fiber to several metropolitan markets in the United States, many of the broadband reporting and evaluation challenges have re-emerged. The purpose of this paper is to leverage basic data mining techniques, a scale agnostic geographic framework and exploratory spatial data analysis (ESDA), to uncover the geographic intricacies of Google Fiber (Fiber) service for both Provo, Utah and Austin, Texas and compare them to Form 477 reports. In addition, we use basic statistical approaches to explore issues of broadband access and equity, accounting for the differences in socio-economic and demographic status of the populace served/not served for both cities, as well as basic pricing within and between communities.", "Addresses": "[Grubesic, Tony H.; Helderop, Edward] Arizona State Univ, Coll Publ Serv & Community Solut, Ctr Spatial Reasoning & Policy Analyt, Phoenix, AZ 85004 USA; [Alizadeh, Tooran] Univ Sydney, Fac Architecture Design & Planning, Sydney, NSW, Australia", "Affiliations": "Arizona State University; Arizona State University-Downtown Phoenix; University of Sydney", "Reprint Addresses": "Grubesic, TH (corresponding author), Arizona State Univ, Coll Publ Serv & Community Solut, Ctr Spatial Reasoning & Policy Analyt, Phoenix, AZ 85004 USA.", "Email Addresses": "grubesic@asu.edu", "Researcher Ids": "Grubesic, Tony H/C-4273-2012; Alizadeh, Tooran/AAX-2371-2020", "ORCIDs": "", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 82.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 12.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 12.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 0.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 11.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

According to the results of the structural change analysis, the ICT manufacturing field exhibited a deepening of the so-called jobless growth phenomenon. Although the output of the ICT manufacturing field grew dramatically, employment consistently decreased. In contrast, the ICT service field began to show a problem with reduced labor productivity. Although the ICT service field's output experienced a slowdown in growth, employment experienced an exponential increase. According to the results of the growth factor analysis, the ICT industry's growth was fueled by export expansion, followed by consumption expansion, technological change, inventory expansion and investment expansion. However, import substitution of intermediate goods and end goods had negative effects on the ICT industry's growth in Korea. In the industrial sector, the electronic component sector and broadcasting and telecommunication equipment sector experienced marked growth, and the electronic component sector scored the greatest contribution. Furthermore, in spite of the rapid growth in other ICT manufacturing sectors, the information equipment sector sank into stagnation, and the contribution of the ICT service sector was constantly decreasing.

Despite scholarly consensus on the relevance of institutions, none has been found on a systemic examination of institutional variables in explaining the effectiveness of policy and implementation, let alone knowledge gap in a transitional context. Following historical institutionalism and case method, this and the companion paper bridge the gap by synthesizing a conceptual framework which integrates various institutional dimensions and policy elements underpinning the implementation of universal service initiatives. This paper provides a formal institutional perspective on the analysis and assessment, ex ante or ex post, of universal service policy and projects in China. The conceptual framework may serve as the basis for the analysis and assessment of China's rural informatization regime and projects. Meanwhile, the ecosystem model proposed in this paper has a potential of being extended to other countries. This study may collaterally further understanding of China's ongoing market reform from a nonmarket perspective. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd.

We discover that the development of China's cloud computing industry that emerged from an initial concept involves the co-evolution of technological and institutional infrastructure leading to a preliminary cloud ecosystem. We also find that such a process involves a wide range of different actors, from the government side to the business side, the interaction among which, in pursuing their own interests, drive the development of the cloud computing industry into being. Finally, situated in the institutional context of China, the government business relationship is witnessed to have changed and evolved along development of such an emerging industry, demonstrating the important and unique roles of both sides in industrial (or even national) wide diffusion of the ICT innovation.

G.fast is a copper-based access technology that can, in theory, provide a combined downstream and upstream transmission capacity of up to 1 Gbps over a distance of 100 m. In this article, we analyse the cost of fibre to the distribution point (FTTdp) with G.fast and assess the cost reductions that can be achieved in comparison with FTTH networks. Two types of FTTdp networks have been employed: fibre to the building (FTTdp-Building) and fibre to the street (FTTdp-Street). The results show that, for all the network scenarios studied, the cost of a home passed for FTTH and FTTdp-Building is the same, but the cost of a home passed for FTTdp-Street is on average 17.2% lower than the cost for FTTH. Regarding the cost per home connected, the usage of FTTdp-Building and FTTdp-Street leads to average cost reductions compared with FTTH of 1.1% and 10.8%, respectively. The cost reductions achieved when employing FTTdp are higher in urban areas than in suburban and rural areas. Several measures could be taken by policymakers to promote the deployment of FTTdp networks that work with G.fast: these include the coordination of frequency bands to avoid the interference of G.fast with very high speed digital subscriber line 2 (VDSL2) equipment and the speeding up of permissions for the installation of FTTdp equipment.

Much like a telephone number, an IP address is assigned to every network interface (router, computer, mobile telephone, server, etc.) that connects to the Internet. These addresses are currently assigned using the fourth version of the Internet Protocol, or IPv4. There are a limited number of addresses that can be assigned using IPv4 and the supply of unallocated addresses is effectively exhausted. This paper (i) identifies key facts and challenges arising from IPv4 address scarcity; (ii) outlines and analyzes potential responses to IPv4 scarcity; and (iii) concludes that a decisive transition from IPv4 to IPv6 is the most durable and effective response to the exhaustion of IPv4 addresses resulting from the growth of the global Internet and the exploding demand for IP addresses.

This paper discusses how these major challenges are addressed by means of ICT-enabled system innovations in public services. Recent developments in ICT enable the realisation of novel solutions for public transport that can be subsumed under the headline of intelligent transport systems (ITS). However, while the advances in information and communication technology are very fast, the transformation of transport systems and infrastructures tends to take a long time. In parallel, public sector reforms of the past decade, often characterised by the introduction of New Public Management principles, have changed the organisational and institutional conditions for transport service provision and innovation, with the private sector playing an increasingly prominent role. Public-private innovation networks in services (ServPPINs) have been suggested as a concept to foster the realisation of system innovations. This paper analyses the conditions, determinants and instruments for managing ServPPINs successfully, by comparing four cases of ServPPINs in intelligent transport systems, which all aim at establishing system innovations. The four cases are: ITS Vienna Region, a dynamic intermodal traffic information service; compano, a novel ride-sharing scheme in Austria; SIS, a real-time traffic information services, displays and management system in Oslo; and Flexus, an electronic ticket system for public transportation in Oslo. The paper shows the importance of organisational and institutional conditions of ServPPINs for realising these system innovations, and the crucial role of entrepreneurial individuals, both in public and private sector organisations. It also points to the importance of making clear strategic choices at the right moments in time in the course of the life-cycle of ServPPINs. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd.

In answering the questions raised above, we examine the previous and foreseeable EU regulatory framework and show that currently it does not provide sufficient incentives for NGA deployment and hence for increased penetration of NGA services. On the basis of an international comparison and by means of a diffusion analysis with recent NGA data, we argue that deregulatory and/or state-aid-driven approaches targeted at the demand (subscribers) and supply side (coverage) are more promising.

In this paper, the authors are interested in investigating to which extent economic actions and public policy initiatives can modify the outcome of a path-dependent process of competition between standards. They also aim to identify the factors that affect the success of such initiatives. To this end they analyse competition between mobile standards in China across two generations (2G and 3G), with the help of essential notions of economics of standards. Different policy initiatives have been taken to stimulate the domestic innovation and to relieve the burden of foreign IPRs, culminating with the introduction of a 3G domestic standard, TD-SCDMA, to compete with the established global standards. Despite the size of the Chinese market and the strong hold of the government on the telecommunications industry, it is found that the available market data indicate that these path-breaking initiatives have not been successful from a commercial point of view. From the case study, the authors analyse the reasons for the unsatisfactory market results and outline the main lessons to be drawn. They also investigate to which extent the Chinese initiatives have contributed to other objectives related to catching-up. It is suggested that they have provided opportunities of learning to innovate and develop valuable capabilities. Building on the lessons drawn from this case, the authors discuss three standard policy and strategy options for catching-up countries: simple participation in global consortiums on agreed global standards, indigenous architectural innovation, and indigenous modular innovation.

This encompasses the reasons for investing, the methods of entry into the identified market and the factors influencing their decision. The methodology employs a survey questionnaire which was sent to telecommunication firms representing 80% of the revenue generated by this sector in SSA. The research reveals that market size, regulatory environment and government policy are the three most important factors influencing the decision to undertake FDI. Furthermore, the main reasons for deciding to enter SSA are for market and profit growth due to saturation in their existing markets, as well as for diversification of risk. They demonstrate the key competencies that South Africa Multinational Enterprises (MNEs) have in navigating the complexities of doing business in institutional voids. The liability of being from the relatively small emerging market of South Africa and operating in a country of institutional uncertainty has allowed South African companies to internationalise into markets that other MNEs will not venture into and thus turn a liability into an advantage.

Estimation results show that, while both supply- and demand-side policies have a positive effect on broadband penetration, their relative impact depends on the actual stage of broadband diffusion. When an advanced stage is reached, only demand-side policies appear to generate a positive and increasing effect. The analysis also finds that broadband adoption rates increase with the share of the service sector in the economy, with the number of mobile subscriptions and with the degree of market competition. This study thus allows to attain a more refined understanding of past experiences of broadband stimulation that may provide new insights for a selective policy design to promote both the development of traditional broadband and the rollout of next generation networks.

While this has been quite useful in establishing the technical feasibility of DSA systems, it has missed large sections of the overall DSA problem space. This paper argues that the spatio-temporal operating context of specific environments matters to the selection of the appropriate technology for learning context information. It identifies twelve potential operating environments and compares four context awareness approaches (on-board sensing, databases, sensor network, and cooperative sharing) for these environments. In order for operators, regulators, and users to be interested in deploying DSA based networks, the expected costs should be in proportion to what the users are realistically willing to pay for services. Consequently, it is important to conduct cost analysis for different DSA approaches in parallel with the technical research. Regulators and major stakeholders should pay attention to the operating environment of DSA systems when determining which approaches to context learning to encourage. The incremental capital costs: over a basic software radio: have been compared for the four context awareness approaches after an estimation analysis for each cost component. Since DSA is still a relatively new research field, there is a lot of uncertainty associated with incremental cost analyses. As a result, the cost analysis is parameterized to allow for explicit reasoning about the bounds of cost components. (c) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.", "Addresses": "[Weiss, Martin B.

Comparing the empirical results of the decision models of both stages can give new insights into the dynamics of broadband diffusion. The empirical results show that the subsequent product decision is affected more by the demand determinants, while the upgrading decision is affected more by the cost determinants. The results also indicate that policies which aim to reduce the entry cost such as a low city fee can largely encourage firms to upgrade the network, while subsequent policies that help boost the demand can help firms diversify into new digital services early. The effectiveness of competition policy in the broadband diffusion is confirmed in both stages. Strategic responses by cable firms to the presence of RBOCs are more noticeable in the second-staged product decision than in the first-staged upgrading decision. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd.

Non-discrimination regulations designed to control such behavior are potentially more effective than in cable, but rules governing discrimination both in the upstream access and the downstream retail markets (as the FCC's no-unreasonable-discrimination rule appears to do) are likely to be necessary for effectiveness. Beneficial effects of vertical integration on financing and entry of cable programming networks should also apply to Internet video content development, but emergence since the 1970s of a robust programming supply industry with few vertical ties to cable suggests that such benefits will be less significant in the ISP case. Finally, the history of both the cable and ISP industries makes evident that the fundamental policy concern should not be vertical integration but horizontal market shares of ISPs, both at the local and national levels.

Based on a survey of 1044 students it is demonstrated that some consumers may suffer from a price differentiation bias, i.e., a fair number of consumers may overestimate the savings that result from reduced on-net and/or off-net charges, as they do not appear to weigh the prices with the probabilities of placing off-net and on-net calls. This may help to explain why it have been the smaller operators in various countries who have introduced on-net/off-net price differentiation.

Who is really using the Internet? Is it the farmer or other members of the rural family? Can rural areas be seen as a homogenous space or do different types of Internet users exist? Research is based on both the descriptive statistics and multivariate analysis techniques on a sample of 920 individuals in three administrative regions of rural Greece. Basic findings suggest that less than one out of three rural residents go online. A set of perceived potentials and pitfalls of Internet use are analyzed. Social networking and e-mail are the principal uses of the Internet, classifying users into three distinct types. For basic users, Internet access is influenced by income and gender while the socially interactive users are influenced by the existence of a young member in the family. For farm oriented users, Internet access is influenced by the digital divide between rural and urban location and by farmers' competency. The typology of users along with their perceptions regarding Internet use can provide useful policy insights on the ways that Internet access can contribute to diffusion of innovation and rural development.

However, improvement of standards capabilities in this process has not been revealed clearly. This paper confirms similar, patterns for improving formal standards capabilities as for the technological capabilities but records some possible differences in the rate of catch-up when latecomers approach the technology frontier: a forward moving position where technology leaders (typically advanced countries) develop or conceptualize new technologies before being; turned into products or systems. A number of case studies of South Korean ICT systems reveal that transition to the technological frontier is increasingly related to how, they target and carry out formal standardization. The common elements driving differences in rates of successful catch-up for ICT systems standards are not only limited tc generic standards capabilities, but also rely on characteristics of technology trajectories, national strategic focus, and organizing for standardization.(3) This implies that a nation should not be discouraged by slow progress in standards-setting during earlier stages. Once a minimum level of capabilities is achieved, a nation pro-active in standards from the beginning may attain higher rates of catch-up near the technology frontier. (c) 2011 Elsetier Ltd.

This paper presents evidence that the relative broadband Internet adoption ranks across the Organisation for Economic Co-Operation and Development (OECD) countries are converging to the wireline telephone adoption ranks in the mid 1990s. This was a time when wireline telephone service had reached maturity, but before consumers began to abandon traditional telephone services for mobile services and Internet telephone technologies. As such, in the absence of better data on household adoption, wireline telephone rank is a useful proxy for a country's ultimate fixed-line broadband penetration rank. Having such an educated guess available regarding broadband rank should reduce the amount of anxiety over rankings, since similar rankings across the two services implies suitable broadband performance. Large departures, alternately, may be a cause for concern or delight. Like prior analyses, the findings suggest that the adoption of communications services is largely an economic and demographic issue. (c) 2010 Elsevier Ltd.

An anomaly found in customer surveys suggested the possibility of systemic value creation at the offering level. In order to build a theoretical explanation for this anomaly, the role of intrinsic, user network and complement-network attributes is discussed, along with the concepts of complementarities, value of time and goal achievement. More daily communication goals are proposed to form a time boundary condition for an individual, which is relieved by integration providing systemic consistency, experienced as increased efficiency and convenience. As a result, one theoretical model is presented to describe the creation of customer value in the case of integrated offerings. Two propositions are derived from the model, followed by two hypotheses, which are tested. Results indicate customer value creation at the general offering level as a result of integration. The reliability and validity of cross-tabulation is concluded. Finally, suggestions for future research are presented. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd.

Informality is argued to be a drag on productivity growth in emerging & developing countries. We argue that increased use of digital technologies can help informal sector reduce transaction and coordination costs; enhance the linkages between the informal and formal sectors; facilitate the integration of the informal sector in the global value chain; and also increase the potential for the formalization of the economy in general - all of these are likely to contribute to aggregate productivity growth. Our econometric analysis using panel data for 118 countries from 1997-2017 provides some evidence of ICT capital deepening helping to reduce informality's negative impact on aggregate productivity growth. However, the moderating effect is modest compared to the magnitude of the negative impact of informality, indicating the need for a faster and more intense digitization efforts in emerging & developing economies. Moreover, investments in complementary factors including skills and infrastructure are imperative to fully unleash the potential of ICT in reducing the negative impact of informality.", "Addresses": "[Erumban, Abdul A.] Univ Groningen, Fac Econ & Business, Groningen Growth & Dev Ctr, Groningen, Netherlands", "Affiliations": "University of Groningen", "Reprint Addresses": "Erumban, AA (corresponding author), Univ Groningen, Fac Econ & Business, Groningen Growth & Dev Ctr, Groningen, Netherlands.", "Email Addresses": "a.a.erumban@rug.nl", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "Erumban, Abdul Azeez/0000-0003-2806-6119", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 96.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 0.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 0.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 1.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 1.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "London", "Publisher Address": "125 London Wall, London, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

The application of machine learning algorithms combined with the SHAP methodology reveals complex nonlinear relationships in the data and important insights to guide tailored policy-making. Our results suggest that there is an interaction between education and ICTs that contributes to income prediction. Furthermore, level of education and age are found to be positively associated with income, while gender presents a negative relationship; that is, women earn less than men on average.

However, these women are constrained by family responsibilities, economic substandard and severe financial exclusion. Fortunately, the development of digital inclusive finance has successfully broken such exclusions, thus allowing entrepreneur mothers to achieve some financial success. Applying the 2017 China General Social Survey and the Peking University Digital Inclusive Finance Index, this paper explores the impact of digital inclusive finance on rural mothers' entrepreneurship and the transmission mechanism using the Probit model. In fact, due to digital inclusive finance, rural mothers' entrepreneurship increased by 4.6%. In addition, this paper finds the impact of this digital inclusive finance on entrepreneurship, in general, is more significant on mothers in less developed areas and with high levels of education than on those in developed regions and with low levels of education. Meanwhile, using the transmission mechanism for analysis, the paper found the role of digital inclusive finance in inciting entrepreneurship among rural mothers.

The empirical results suggest that the digital economy significantly promotes female employment. Consistent with our theoretical analysis, the estimates indicate that this relationship holds because the digital economy promotes the formation of egalitarian gender perspectives, promotes the use of digital technology, and increases labor demand emphasizing the necessity for female-preference occupations. The dividend of the digital econ-omy is tilted toward vulnerable groups in the labor market, including the low-skilled, older, and rural workforce, and only exerts an employment promotion effect on women without parenting burden. Further examination reveals evidence that digitalization has not led to a holistic improvement in the quality of female employment. Digitalization lengthens the working hours of severely underemployed female workers, and improves women's occupational status and job satisfaction; however, it has a minimal impact on protecting employees' rights and interests or reducing overtime workers' work intensity. Nonself-employed, full-time, and part-time workers all benefit from the development of the digital economy, while self-employed workers do not. In addition, a weakening effect of digitalization on the gender employment gap is not evident, which relates to the digital economy generating a female dividend in terms of promoting gender equality and increasing labor demand but resulting in a digital gender divide in the use of digital technology.", "Addresses": "[Lu, Jing; Xiao, Qinglan; Wang, Taoxuan] Zhejiang Univ, Sch Econ, 866 Yuhangtang Rd, Hangzhou 310058, Peoples R China; [Xiao, Qinglan; Wang, Taoxuan] Zhejiang Univ, Ctr Res Reg Econ Opening & Dev, 866 Yuhangtang Rd, Hangzhou 310058, Peoples R China", "Affiliations": "Zhejiang University; Zhejiang University", "Reprint Addresses": "Xiao, QL (corresponding author), Zhejiang Univ, Sch Econ, 866 Yuhangtang Rd, Hangzhou 310058, Peoples R China.", "Email Addresses": "siuqinglan@163.com", "Researcher Ids": "xuan, xiaoxiao/JOZ-1453-2023", "ORCIDs": "", "Funding Orgs": "National Natural Science Foundation of China General Project [71973125]; Zhejiang Soft Science General Project [2022C35031]; Women/Gender Research Project of Zhejiang Women ' s Federation; Zhejiang Women ' s Research Association [202249]", "Funding Name Preferred": "National Natural Science Foundation of China General Project; Zhejiang Soft Science General Project; Women/Gender Research Project of Zhejiang Women ' s Federation; Zhejiang Women ' s Research Association", "Funding Text": "& nbsp;This work was supported by National Natural Science Foundation of China General Project [grant number 71973125] ; Zhejiang Soft Science General Project [grant number 2022C35031] ; and Women/Gender Research Project of Zhejiang Women ' s Federation and Zhejiang Women ' s Research Association [grant number 202249] .", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 39.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 16.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 16.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 118.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 187.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

We create a panel of US counties and measure the effect of broadband adoption on student educational achievement by estimating a fixed effect estimator. For the typical student in a county, the main results indicate that higher broadband adoption increases standardized test scores in both math and reading/ language arts. The results are robust to alternate model specifications and an instrumental var-iable approach. Not all students benefit equally from higher rates of broadband adoption, how-ever.

We construct a composite sector using a hypothetical extraction methodology based on the most recent Greek input-output table and structural business statistics at the national level. Our framework builds on the formal definition of the ICT sector provided by OECD and includes two distinct sub-components, ICT manufacturing and ICT services. In the second stage of this study, we explore the production linkages among ICT services, ICT manufacturing and the rest of the Greek industries using input-output-based and network analysis-based metrics that build on the intermediate transactions of an expanded input-output table of the Greek economy that includes the two sectors. Our empirical findings suggest that the total ICT sector has a major contribution to the Greek economy in terms of GDP and employment, but this is driven mainly by the ICT services component. We further identify that ICT services are more integrated in the Greek production network compared to ICT manufacturing, but their production linkages are underperforming in terms of meaningful contribution to the activity of the rest of the sectors. These results reflect the low integration of digital technologies and can be further embedded in a discussion on the ICT deficiencies of the Greek economy and the need for targeted regulatory and financial interventions.", "Addresses": "[Stamopoulos, Dimitrios; Dimas, Petros; Tsakanikas, Aggelos] Natl Tech Univ Athens, Lab Ind & Energy Econ LIEE, 9 Heroon Polytech Str,Zografou Campus, Athens, Greece", "Affiliations": "National Technical University of Athens", "Reprint Addresses": "Stamopoulos, D (corresponding author), Natl Tech Univ Athens, Lab Ind & Energy Econ LIEE, 9 Heroon Polytech Str,Zografou Campus, Athens, Greece.", "Email Addresses": "dstamopoulos@mail.ntua.gr; petrdimas@chemeng.ntua.gr; atsaka@central.ntua.gr", "Researcher Ids": "Dimas, Petros/GYV-3330-2022", "ORCIDs": "Dimas, Petros/0000-0001-5408-229X; Stamopoulos, Dimitrios/0000-0003-4954-0465; Tsakanikas, Aggelos/0000-0002-9734-3354", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 53.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 22.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 22.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 12.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 48.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

Although a growing body of scholarship has emerged to assess the normative and legal dimensions of these regulatory developments in Germany and beyond, the legal scholarship on intermediary liability leaves key questions about why and how these policies are developed, shaped, and adopted unanswered. The goal of this article is thus to provide a deep case study into the NetzDG from a regulatory politics perspective, highlighting the importance of political and regulatory factors currently under-explored in the burgeoning interdisciplinary literatures on platform governance and platform regulation. The empirical account presented here, which draws on 30 interviews with stakeholders involved in the debate around the NetzDG's adoption, as well as hundreds of pages of deliberative documents obtained via freedom of information access requests, outlines how the NetzDG took shape, and how it overcame various significant obstacles (ranging from resistance from other stakeholders and the European Union's frameworks against regulatory fragmentation) to eventually become law. The article argues, throughout this case study, that both domestic politics and transnational institutional constraints are crucial policy factors that should receive more attention as an important part of platform regulation debates.", "Addresses": "[Gorwa, Robert] Univ Oxford, Dept Polit & Int Relat, Oxford, England", "Affiliations": "University of Oxford", "Reprint Addresses": "Gorwa, R (corresponding author), Univ Oxford, Dept Polit & Int Relat, Oxford, England.", "Email Addresses": "robert.gorwa@politics.ox.ac.uk", "Researcher Ids": "Gorwa, Robert/AAA-2932-2021", "ORCIDs": "Gorwa, Robert/0000-0002-4891-5053", "Funding Orgs": "Social Science and Humanities Research Council of Canada [752-2017-0530]; Canadian Centennial Scholarship Fund; Scatcherd European Scholarship at the University of Oxford", "Funding Name Preferred": "Social Science and Humanities Research Council of Canada(Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC)); Canadian Centennial Scholarship Fund; Scatcherd European Scholarship at the University of Oxford", "Funding Text": "Many thanks to the funders supporting my doctoral research, especially the Social Science and Humanities Research Council of Canada (Doctoral Fellowship 752-2017-0530), the Canadian Centennial Scholarship Fund, and the Scatcherd European Scholarship at the University of Oxford.

Surprisingly, there has been considerably less attention paid to ?Wi-Fi 6?, the new IEEE 802.1ax standard in the family of Wireless Local Area Network technologies with features targeting private, edge-networks. This paper revisits the suitability of cellular and Wi-Fi in delivering highspeed wireless Internet connectivity. Both technologies aspire to deliver significantly enhanced performance, enabling each to deliver much faster wireless broadband connectivity, and provide further support for the Internet of Things and Machine-to-Machine communications, positioning the two technologies as technical substitutes in many usage scenarios. We conclude that both are likely to play important roles in the future, and simultaneously serve as competitors and complements. We anticipate that 5G will remain the preferred technology for wide-area coverage, while Wi-Fi 6 will remain the preferred technology for indoor use, thanks to its much lower deployment costs. However, the traditional boundaries that differentiated earlier generations of cellular and Wi-Fi are blurring. Proponents of one technology may argue for the benefits of their chosen technology displacing the other, requesting regulatory policies that would serve to tilt the marketplace in their favour. We believe such efforts need to be resisted, and that both technologies have important roles to play in the marketplace, based on the needs of heterogeneous use cases. Both technologies should contribute to achieving the goal of providing affordable, reliable, and ubiquitously available high-capacity wireless broadband connectivity.", "Addresses": "[Oughton, Edward J.] George Mason Univ, Fairfax, VA 22030 USA; [Lehr, William] MIT, 77 Massachusetts Ave, Cambridge, MA 02139 USA; [Katsaros, Konstantinos] Digital Catapult, London, England; [Selinis, Ioannis] Univ Surrey, 5G Innovat Ctr, Guildford, Surrey, England; [Bubley, Dean] Disrupt Anal, London, England; [Kusuma, Julius] Facebook Connect, Menlo Pk, CA USA", "Affiliations": "George Mason University; Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT); University of Surrey; Facebook Inc", "Reprint Addresses": "Oughton, EJ (corresponding author), George Mason Univ, GGS, 4400 Univ Dr, Fairfax, VA 22030 USA.", "Email Addresses": "eoughton@gmu.edu", "Researcher Ids": "cao, xiaoxiang/AAR-9291-2021; Oughton, Edward/C-4376-2018", "ORCIDs": "Oughton, Edward/0000-0002-2766-008X; Lehr, William/0000-0003-2902-3874; Bubley, Dean/0000-0001-6831-3925", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 84.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 65.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 67.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 4.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 21.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

The convergence of ICTs ensures efficiency in resources allocation and promotes system growth. This study examines the convergence in global information and communication technologies (ICT) development for 205 countries spanning 2000-2018. We employ the Phillips and Sul econometric methodology, which tests for the existence of convergence clubs and the modelling of different transition paths to convergence. We further disaggregated our panel data into nine regions. We constructed an ICT development index (comprising of mobile line, fixed line, and internet access penetration) via principal component analysis. Our findings suggest the presence of panel convergence at the global and regional levels (except for Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia, which exhibited divergence). However, we identified convergence clubs using an iterative testing procedure. The key findings from the club convergence algorithm results suggest that: (i) at the global level, club 1 converges; (ii) at regional levels, Sub-Saharan Africa forms 7 clubs; (iii) clubs 1 in the remaining 8 regions converged. Contrary to previous findings, this study finds that the process of convergence in ICT development reflects the desirable emanations of telecommunication policies sharing similar characteristics, at least to some extent, in terms of the ICT sharing across the globe.", "Addresses": "[Saba, Charles Shaaba] Univ Johannesburg, Sch Econ, Coll Business & Econ, Auckland Pk Kingsway Campus,POB 524, Johannesburg, South Africa; [David, Oladipo Olalekan] North West Univ, Fac Econ & Management Sci, Sch Econ Sci, POB 1174,Internal Box 125 Vaal Triangle Campus, ZA-1900 Vanderbijlpark, South Africa; [David, Oladipo Olalekan] Univ Hradec Kralove, Fac Informat & Management, Dept Econ, Hradec Kralove, Czech Republic", "Affiliations": "University of Johannesburg; North West University - South Africa; University of Hradec Kralove", "Reprint Addresses": "Saba, CS (corresponding author), Univ Johannesburg, Sch Econ, Coll Business & Econ, Auckland Pk Kingsway Campus,POB 524, Johannesburg, South Africa.", "Email Addresses": "sabacharlesshaaba@yahoo.com; olalekan.david@nwu.ac.za", "Researcher Ids": "David, Oladipo Olalekan/ABG-8031-2020", "ORCIDs": "David, Oladipo Olalekan/0000-0002-9922-9504; Saba, Charles/0000-0001-6230-7292", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 70.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 27.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 28.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 3.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 15.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

The importance of these two frameworks, besides their leading normative roles, is that recent debates have shaped them as cases to consider in the adoption of the upcoming fifth generation (5G) of mobile communications technology, in particular in the C-band. A discussion on these two frameworks is organised by following the four-step decision-making guide for spectrum management developed by Pogorel (2007), which requires spectrum authorities to make decisions in four areas of spectrum management: frequency harmonization, technology standardization, type of usage rights and assignment procedures. Notwithstanding the similarities with respect to the four areas of spectrum management considered, the two frameworks differ on their implementation schedules. CBRS leads the way, with a handful of providers receiving government approval to manage spectrum access controllers, and as of mid 2020, scheduled to have allocated spectrum licenses on half of its available spectrum. On the contrary, European countries have shown scarce interest towards implementing the LSA, despite the extensive work carried out by regulatory and standardization bodies. This may suggest that there are external contextual factors which influence the successful implementation of spectrum sharing frameworks. An interesting aspect which deserves further investigation is the institutional context in which decisions related to radio spectrum management are taken. Unlike the US authorities, European institutions do not possess coercive enforcement powers with respect to spectrum sharing. This key difference may contribute to explaining the different speed at which LSA and CBRS are implemented.", "Addresses": "[Massaro, Maria] Chalmers Univ Technol, Gothenburg, Sweden; [Beltran, Fernando] Univ Auckland, Auckland, New Zealand", "Affiliations": "Chalmers University of Technology; University of Auckland", "Reprint Addresses": "Massaro, M (corresponding author), Chalmers Univ Technol, Gothenburg, Sweden.", "Email Addresses": "mariamassaro.m@gmail.com; f.beltran@auckland.ac.nz", "Researcher Ids": "Beltran, Fernando/AAH-4595-2021", "ORCIDs": "Beltran, Fernando/0000-0003-4091-5814; Massaro, Maria/0000-0002-8007-0839", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 95.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 12.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 12.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 0.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 9.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

After initial subsidies expire, however, a number of smart city initiatives face problems with respect to value creation and value capture. To analyse these processes, the paper links value creation (i.e. activities focusing on innovation challenges) to value capture (i.e. activities referring to actual individual firm-level profit generation) in smart city initiatives. Based on an in-depth survey of the literature, the purpose of the paper is to better understand how processes of internal alignment foster value creation and value capture during the growth of smart city initiatives. By focusing on the determinants of internal alignment facilitating value creation and value capture, the paper examines these determinants in the context of four smart city initiatives in the Netherlands in 2016. The paper shows that internal alignment of actors aimed at integrating joint and business objectives is critical for the growth of smart city initiatives. From the theoretical view point, the paper points at challenges concerning internal alignment of different actors in the smart city initiative after the formation stage. From the managerial point of view, it becomes increasingly important to manage expectations of different partners and their learning efforts to account for internal alignment during the growth of the smart city initiative.", "Addresses": "[Oomens, Ivette M.

This paper describes innovations in UK telecommunications regulation which have taken place over the period, broken down into stages, beginning with the regulation of the former monopolist by an independent regulator under a price cap, continuing the regulation first of mobile and then, under European Directives, of copper based broadband, and ending with the diffusion of fibre networks. It is argued that a variety of changes have reduced the scope of innovation over the period, including domestic institutional reform, the limits placed on later decisions by earlier ones (path dependency), and the constraining impact of European Union law and regulation. The paper concludes with some consideration of the effects on future innovation of the UK's withdrawal from the EU.", "Addresses": "[Cave, Martin] Imperial Coll, Business Sch, London, England", "Affiliations": "Imperial College London", "Reprint Addresses": "Cave, M (corresponding author), Imperial Coll, Business Sch, London, England.", "Email Addresses": "", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 26.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 3.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 4.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 1.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 10.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

However, the explanation of how and why Korea accomplished these things is not clearly apparent from a review of mainstream scholarship. A deeper. understanding of Korea's miracle on the Han requires more historical, cultural, political and social context. This study addresses questions of how, when and why a nation whose infrastructures were utterly destroyed at the 1953 cessation of hostilities in the Korean War could emerge as the world's digital network leader. It examines policy issues bearing on digitization of networks, network architecture and network technologies, along with broader context in which these policies were considered, drafted and implemented. Chronologically, the study explains the origins of digital development in the revolutionary decade of the 1980s, Korea's rise to world broadband leader in the 1990s and its ambitious plans for next generation networks.

This paper uses an engineering economic model to show that there are strong economies of scale when expanding capacity, because an MNO with more spectrum benefits more from every new cell tower, and an MNO with more towers benefits more from every new MHz of spectrum. While it is technically possible to expand capacity by increasing either towers or spectrum holdings, we find that the cost-effective approach is to increase both types of assets at a similar rate. In the absence of countervailing policies, the big MNOs are well positioned to get bigger, in terms of spectrum holdings, towers, and ultimately market share. For policymalcers, this economy of scale creates a trade-off between two important objectives: reducing the cost of cellular capacity, and increasing competition. This paper derives the Pareto optimal division of spectrum with respect to these two competing objectives, and shows that any Pareto optimal assignment will split the spectrum fairly evenly among competing MNOs. This is not simply a method of ensuring that there are many competitors; spectrum should be divided fairly evenly regardless of whether the number of competitors is large or small. A large disparity in spectrum holdings may yield poor results with respect to both objectives, i.e. the lower cost-effectiveness of a larger number of MNOs, and the lower competitive pressure of a smaller number of MNOs. One effective way to achieve a division of spectrum that is close to Pareto optimal is a spectrum cap, provided that this cap is set at a level consistent with other policies and policy objectives, including antitrust policy.", "Addresses": "[Peha, Jon M.] Carnegie Mellon Univ, Dept Engn & Publ Policy, 5000 Forbes Ave, Pittsburgh, PA 15213 USA", "Affiliations": "Carnegie Mellon University", "Reprint Addresses": "Peha, JM (corresponding author), Carnegie Mellon Univ, Dept Engn & Publ Policy, 5000 Forbes Ave, Pittsburgh, PA 15213 USA.", "Email Addresses": "peha@cmu.edu", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 18.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 7.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 10.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 0.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 3.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

While regulatory policy has therefore shifted towards innovation as its major goal besides enabling competition, there appear to be tensions between regulation, competition and innovation. This paper identifies as the roots of these tensions the consumer protection objective enshrined in regulatory legislation and the regulatory neutrality issues arising from stranded assets, loss of labor rents, loss of services by captive customers, and the threat to regulators from looming deregulation, all of which are associated with innovations. This paper identifies some similar threats to innovation in unregulated sunk-cost industries with a monopolistic incumbent. A very simple model shows that a comparison of innovation incentives in such an unregulated industry with a regulated one leads to ambiguous results.

In recent years, there has been heated ongoing debate regarding whether offering different pricing plans, such as zero-rated services and applications, might slant user behavior toward certain content on the Internet. Our study gathers empirical measurements of mobile application usage to address this research question. We shed light on this issue by performing an exploratory analysis of the effects of different data plans and connection types on mobile data usage, as well as measuring quantitative and qualitative pricing effects of zero-rating on mobile data usage. First, we perform a longitudinal exploratory study using data collected from the MySpeedTest application. We analyze differences in usage behavior between the top five most used applications in the United States (US) and South Africa (ZA), comparing usage on different connection types (Wi-Fi vs. cellular) as well as for devices on different data plans (prepaid vs. postpaid limited monthly data cap vs. uncapped). Our findings show that US users consume slightly more cellular data than Wi-Fi data for most of the US top five most used applications, while South African users generally prefer Wi-Fi connections (with the notable exception of Facebook). Further, US users on postpaid plans display much higher average monthly mobile data usage than those on prepaid plans, while South African users on prepaid plans generally display much higher usage than those on postpaid plans. Next, we perform a deeper analysis into the possible behavioral effects of zero-rating in South Africa. We find in one case that zero-rating WhatsApp on Cell-C's network increases overall usage of the application, regardless of connection type. In the case of zero-rating Twitter on MTN network, we observe increased mobile data usage of the zero-rated application during and immediately after the promotion, but not in the long term. Some of our results yield striking patterns, yet point to the need for richer datasets to confirm these initial findings. Finally, to gain further insights into the user motivations behind our empirical observations, we implement a mobile-based survey among a randomly selected group of individuals in South Africa and Kenya. We observe that use of zero-rating services is actually quite low among respondents. Further, zero-rating seems to serve more as a popular method for data conservation an effort toward which respondents show a strong dedication than as a walled garden that would otherwise discourage users from venturing beyond zero-rated applications.", "Addresses": "[Chen, Ava; Feamster, Nick] Princeton Univ, Ctr Informat Technol Policy, 303 Sherrerd Hall, Princeton, NJ 08544 USA; [Calandro, Enrico] Res ICT Africa, 409 Studios,6 Beach Rd, ZA-7925 Cape Town, South Africa", "Affiliations": "Princeton University", "Reprint Addresses": "Chen, A; Feamster, N (corresponding author), Princeton Univ, Ctr Informat Technol Policy, 303 Sherrerd Hall, Princeton, NJ 08544 USA.", "Email Addresses": "avac@alumni.princeton.edu", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "", "Funding Orgs": "National Science Foundation Award [CNS-1539902]; International Development Research Centre; Division Of Computer and Network Systems; Direct For Computer & Info Scie & Enginr [1535796] Funding Source: National Science Foundation", "Funding Name Preferred": "National Science Foundation Award(National Science Foundation (NSF)); International Development Research Centre(International Development Research Centre - IDRC); Division Of Computer and Network Systems; Direct For Computer & Info Scie & Enginr(National Science Foundation (NSF)NSF - Directorate for Computer & Information Science & Engineering (CISE))", "Funding Text": "This research was partially supported by National Science Foundation Award CNS-1539902.

This paper evaluates two ways to improve spectrum efficiency to today's noise-limited single-transmitter broadcast television approach. One way is to increase the transmit power of each broadcaster's only transmitter. The other way is to replace that single transmitter with a multi-transmitter low-power low-tower (LPLT) single frequency network (SFN). In order to quantify their potential benefits, two different scenarios are considered. First, this paper presents the results obtained for a large region in which broadcasters are uniformly distributed, so that the number of TV broadcasts that can be received is roughly the same at any location. In this case, results suggest that increasing power of traditional single-transmitter broadcasters could reduce the amount of spectrum needed for TV by up to 30%, and would be cost-effective for population densities above 30 per square km. A switch to SFNs could reduce the amount of spectrum needed for TV by roughly 60%, but at a higher cost. Results suggest that the LPLT SFN approach could be cost-effective for regions with uniformly distributed broadcasters and population densities above 120 per square km. The study then quantifies spectrum efficiency gains in regions where broadcasters are not uniformly distributed. In particular, it considers the case where U.S. broadcasters in the UHF band continue to serve their coverage areas as of 2015. In this case, the amount of spectrum that can be freed from TV throughout the entire nation using these two approach is considerably smaller, but some additional bands can be freed from TV throughout much of the nation. Moreover, most of these spectrum gains can be obtained when only a minority of broadcasters change their technical approach.", "Addresses": "[Bettancourt, Rolando; Peha, Jon M.] Carnegie Mellon Univ, Dept Engn & Publ Policy, Pittsburgh, PA 15213 USA; [Peha, Jon M.] Carnegie Mellon Univ, Dept Elect & Comp Engn, Pittsburgh, PA 15213 USA", "Affiliations": "Carnegie Mellon University; Carnegie Mellon University", "Reprint Addresses": "Bettancourt, R (corresponding author), Carnegie Mellon Univ, Dept Engn & Publ Policy, Pittsburgh, PA 15213 USA.", "Email Addresses": "rbettancourt@cmu.edu; peha@cmu.edu", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "", "Funding Orgs": "National Science Foundation [1343359]; CONICYT Chile; J.

This quest has led to the development of different spectrum sharing solutions in different parts of the world for optimising spectrum use in various spectrum bands. Despite the active widespread research on spectrum sharing over nearly two decades, only a few solutions have attracted the interest of industry and regulators as potential concepts for adoption. Though the selected solutions offer great promise, none have proven commercially successful at the time of the writing of this document. The process to introduce and adopt a new sharing concept in a specific spectrum band is very complex and the manner in which this introduction can take place varies considerably based on the regulation structure and the cultural norms of the nation where the deployment takes place. However, some general principles can be found and established for the process. Knowledge of these principles will allow researchers to develop their approaches taking into account requirements arising from different stakeholders in various phases of this process. In this paper, the spectrum sharing ecosystem and three prominent and most recent regulatory spectrum sharing concepts from Europe and US are introduced. Based on an analysis of these concepts, a general process model for spectrum sharing is introduced covering the roles and tasks of different stakeholders and emphasizing the need for seamless cooperation and interactions between them at different phases of the process. The general process model that is presented here can serve as a guideline for the development of new spectrum sharing models and help regulatory authorities to optimize the existing processes by pinpointing tasks for each stakeholder as providing a guide for the critical information that is needed for each phase of the process. Moreover, for academic and industry research and especially those involved with entrepreneurial endeavours, the paper gives a useful overview of the complicated administrative process behind and factors that contribute to the regulatory acceptance of a sharing concept.", "Addresses": "[Mustonen, Miia] VTT Tech Res Ctr Finland, Oulu, Finland; [Matinmikko, Marja] Univ Oulu, Oulu, Finland; [Holland, Oliver] Kings Coll London, London, England; [Roberson, Dennis] IIT, Chicago, IL 60616 USA", "Affiliations": "VTT Technical Research Center Finland; University of Oulu; University of London; King's College London; Illinois Institute of Technology", "Reprint Addresses": "Mustonen, M (corresponding author), VTT Tech Res Ctr Finland, Oulu, Finland.", "Email Addresses": "miia.mustonen@vtt.fi; marja.matinmikko@oulu.fi; oliver.holland@kcl.ac.uk; robersond@iit.edu", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "", "Funding Orgs": "Tekes; U.S. National Science Foundation", "Funding Name Preferred": "Tekes(Finnish Funding Agency for Technology & Innovation (TEKES)); U.S. National Science Foundation(National Science Foundation (NSF))", "Funding Text": "The authors would like to acknowledge CORE++ project consortium: VIT; University of Oulu, Centria University of Applied Sciences, Turku University of Applied Sciences, Nokia, PehuTec, Bittium, Anite, Finnish Defence Forces, FICORA, and Tekes.

In 2015, the US federal court system reaffirmed the 2013 landmark ruling in Microsoft v. Motorola on the valuation of SEPs through the determination of a F/RAND royalty rate. This study deconstructed the courts valuation method and found that it deployed a comprehensive set of principles for apportionment of SEP value in line with the general economic theory of patent holdup and freeriding, but that the lack of technical strength of the SEP portfolios limited the full understanding of the generalization of the methodology to future contexts. Key implications include a greater capability of the US court system to manage F/RAND disputes, false reification of patent holdup as a systemic problem, and a potentially normative, negative impact on patent value, where the total impact on both static and dynamic efficiency requires further research and potentially new knowledge-based economic theories.

A MMP is capable of offering great utilities to its users and content providers (CPs) because such parties do not need to access multiple Internet media platforms to find their trading partners. However, a MMP operator (MMPO) can have a significant negative impact upon social welfare whenever it attempts to maximize profits via abuses of its own monopolistic power. The aims of this paper are as follows: firstly, we construct a model of a monopolistic media platform market to identify and analyze the decisions of a MMPO based on two-sided market theory. Secondly, we demonstrate how three factors - matching technology, prosumer strategy and advertising technology - impact on the size of the network and social welfare. Finally, we provide both policy makers and media platform operators (MPOs) with useful suggestions on how to promote the Internet media industry and deter MMPOs from abusing their own powers. From the analysis of the modified new model we suggest, matching technology and prosumer policy are demonstrated to increase the number of users and CPs of the platform and increase social welfare. Advertising policy is also one way of increasing social welfare, however, the necessity of monitoring of government for MMPO is proven because it may harm the utility of users. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd.

This phenomenon results in drastic shift in customer attitude and behavior on how to connect and interact with others. MIM service has been replacing telecommunications operators (telcos)' short message service, and because third-party MIM applications are those gaining meaningful traction, this trend is threatening the telecommunications industry as it leads to losses in telcos' revenues. To cope with this onslaught of third-party MIM applications, telcos launched Joyn, their own MIM application. However, despite their similar technical characteristics, Joyn still lacks user traction. It is critical, therefore, to understand the antecedents to continuance use intention of MIM applications in both contexts. Based on the expanded expectation-confirmation model (ECM), the present research develops a benefit-confirmation model that examines the antecedents to continuance intention to use MIM applications, while provides a comparative analysis of two popular MIM applications in Korea KakaoTalk (third-party) and Joyn (telcos). A total of 467 data point were collected online. The structural equation modeling results of the total sample provide support for ECM-related hypotheses as well as for significant effects of net benefits and network benefits on continuance intention to use MIM applications, while the comparative analysis suggests that KakaoTalk's prominent features are hedonic in nature, whereas, Joyn's main attribute is its interoperability. The implications of these findings are discussed. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd.

Part of the holdback on large-scale commercial deployment has been the strategic concern that the commons model to spectrum management lacks the incentives for service providers to invest due to the limited ability to manage interference in the unlicensed band. Today, however, this situation appears to have changed. To explain the new confidence by service providers in commercial Wi-Fi, the activities of the Wi-Fi Alliance and IEEE 802.11 standards body are analyzed to show how these groups essentially replicate many, but not all, of the functions traditionally employed by an effective band manager that is optimizing efficiency on a licensed spectrum block more typically associated with the deployment of commercial services. Consequently, with the Wi-Fi ecosystem functioning as an effective spectrum manager, it is concluded that the service provider investment in Public Wi-Fi networks is rational and the risk posed by saturation or overuse has been reduced to an acceptable level. The strategic implications of this finding on the Wi-Fi platform are the examined. How the requirements from service providers are already significantly influencing the evolution of the Wi-Fi standard is discussed, and an attempt is made to address the risks and liabilities associated with the unlicensed spectrum management model. Thus, service providers increasingly need functionality in Wi-Fi technology to manage interference, and monitor and improve network performance. The current ideas under discussion are elaborated for the next version of Wi-Fi to support both commercial Wi-Fi requirements, which address the interference concerns, but only up to a point, as the unlicensed model intrinsically leaves some risk to participants of spectrum saturation through overuse.

Typically, such predictions are based on employment multipliers derived from Input-Output analysis. In this paper, we measure the employment effects of changes in capital investment in the U.S. information sector by econometrically estimating an employment multiplier from historical data. The estimated multiplier is 10 information sector jobs for each million dollars in expenditure, and perhaps 24 new jobs per million dollars invested across the entire economy. Employment multipliers derived from the Input-Output methodology average about 16 jobs per million, but the multiplier includes jobs outside the information sector. Including employment spillovers, our estimates suggest the multipliers from Input-Output models are plausible. We also note that information sector jobs have substantially higher median earnings than the private sector average, so the economic significance of changes in information sector employment are greater than might first appear. Our findings may be useful in debates over changes in industry regulation that could affect investment. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights", "Addresses": "[Beard, T.

The Dilemma says that if dictatorial rulers permit increased Internet penetration, they risk overthrow; if they do not, they isolate themselves from the global information economy, causing economic decline. Since Internet penetration world-wide has deepened, the Dilemma implies that dictatorships are bound to fall one by one. But how good is the Dilemma as an analytical device? Not very, this essay argues, using the Egyptian uprising of January 2011 as a case study. By examining the state's Internet politics before 2011, the use of the Internet by Egyptian resistance activists, and the power relations that existed after the overthrow of the Dictator, this essay argues that the Dictator's Dilemma blinds scholars to what really happens on the ground.

Despite the importance of this question for national policy, no research has estimated broadband's incremental contribution to U.S. GDP by calibrating against historical adoption and incorporating counterfactuals. This study provides benchmark estimates for 1999 through 2006 and finds that broadband accounts for $28 billion of the $39 billion observed in 2006. Depending on the estimate, households generated $20-$22 billion of broadband revenue and approximately $8.3-$10.6 billion was additional revenue created between 1999 and 2006. Consumer surplus accounted for $4.8-$6.7 billion of this amount, which is not measured in GDP. An Internet-access Consumer Price Index would have to decline by 1.6-2.2% per year for it to reflect this unmeasured value. These estimates differ from existing benchmarks by an order of magnitude and relate to several policy debates. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd.

In structuring the 2008 reform and the 2009 3G rollout China's government adopted a relatively balanced approach in the hope of creating level-playing-field in 3G era. Nevertheless, due to the presence of substantial switching costs, substitution effects from the present technology mode, that is, 2.5G, the absence of killer applications, among other technological and institutional factors, China may not have a realistic 3G era before moving toward 4G and beyond. At the bare minimum, currently there is a lacking of either adequate technological-push or demand-pull for a full-scale 3G commercialization there is no sign that this situation will change in the near term. Triggered by recent initiatives of market convergence between the telecommunications, Internet, and cable, a renewed circle of market, and regulatory reform is probably necessary to cast a sounder industry basis for a timing migration toward the next-generation-networks (NGNs). The timing migration toward 4G (and beyond) may provide a chance for a late-mover nation like China to leapfrog its western counterparts in leading the industry in the era of NGNs. To this end, China is confronted with a challenge in re-examining its industry policy as well as technological strategies for a sustainable development in the era of NGNs. This study offers heuristic analysis and insights on the above issues based on archival documents and interviews. While implications are suggested for China's circumstances, the Chinese experiences may also be considered by other countries and investors when it comes to 3G (and beyond) policies, regulations, deployments, and evolutions.

The analysis shows that all technologies had been less available and slower in nonmetro areas than metro areas even after controlling for relevant factors such as household incomes and labor market conditions. In addition, a new technology, namely Cable Modem-DOCSIS (Data Over Cable Service Interface Specifications) 3.1, had replaced an old one, namely Cable Modem-DOCSIS 3.0, in nonmetro areas at much slower rates than in metro areas.

To provide robust empirical evidence on the net environmental impact of these core ICT elements, we used OECD panel data for 34 Member States for the years 2002-2019 and panel fixed-effects regression models. In contrast to previous literature, we measured basic broadband and new fiber-based wireline broadband and 3G/4G mobile broadband network deployment. We also captured variations in end-user devices, ICT affinity, and famous online content. We found that, on average, the CO2-reducing effects appear to outweigh the CO2-increasing effects. In particular, we found that, in addition to the reduction effect associated with the use of basic broadband connections, there is a further, albeit smaller, reduction effect associated with new fiber-based broadband connections. Other ICT elements showed insignificant coefficient estimates, suggesting largely offsetting environmental impacts. Our main findings were subject to various robustness checks and were broadly consistent with previous literature using data from developed countries.

While the existing studies have explored the effect of ICT on eco-nomic growth, there is a limited empirical study on the effect of ICT on poverty reduction. This article, therefore, investigates the effect of ICT on poverty reduction using comprehensive panel data for 44 sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) countries from 2010 to 2019. Using the dynamic system -generalized method of moment estimator to control endogeneity, the findings show that tele-phone penetration, mobile phone penetration, and ICT goods imported contribute to poverty reduction, while internet penetration, broadband penetration, and ICT goods exported increase poverty rate regardless of gender and age group. The net effect estimates reveal that at the maximum value of most ICT variables, economic growth, income inequality, and access to credit significantly increase poverty rate regardless of the age group. We argue that for SSA to leverage ICT to drive economic prosperity, policies that seek to drive ICT availability and affordability should be supported with policies that ensure income redistribution, trickle-down development, and minimizing the cost of accessing credit.", "Addresses": "[Dzator, Janet] Univ Newcastle, Newcastle Business Sch, Callaghan, Australia; [Dzator, Janet; Dzator, Michael] Univ Newcastle, Ctr African Res Engagement & Partnerships CARE P, Callaghan, Australia; [Acheampong, Alex O.] Bond Univ, Bond Business Sch, Gold Coast, Australia; [Acheampong, Alex O.] Bond Univ, Ctr Data Analyt, Gold Coast, Australia; [Appiah-Otoo, Isaac] Chengdu Univ Technol, Coll Management Sci, Chengdu, Peoples R China; [Dzator, Michael] Cent Queensland Univ, SAE, Mackay, Qld, Australia", "Affiliations": "University of Newcastle; University of Newcastle; Bond University; Bond University; Chengdu University of Technology; Central Queensland University", "Reprint Addresses": "Acheampong, AO (corresponding author), Bond Univ, Bond Business Sch, Gold Coast, Australia.", "Email Addresses": "aacheamp@bond.edu.au", "Researcher Ids": "Acheampong, Alex O./AFU-9688-2022; Appiah-Otoo, Isaac/GWZ-5503-2022", "ORCIDs": "Acheampong, Alex O./0000-0002-5462-5466; Appiah-Otoo, Isaac/0000-0002-3683-0634; Dzator, Janet/0000-0002-9866-6323", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 121.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 13.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 13.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 11.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 33.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

While technological utopians believed that One Laptop Per Child (OLPC)-like programs could reduce societal in-equalities, the economics literature evaluating these initiatives has mostly focused on student's human capital. Results suggest no impact, even for successful programs such as Uruguay's own OLPC-inspired Plan Ceibal. In this paper, we use an event-study approach to difference-indifferences to identify the impact of Plan Ceibal on the household adoption of technological goods across income quintiles. Our results show that Plan Ceibal helped to bridge domestic digital disparities in terms of access to PC and favored the uptake of internet services. We discuss the potential mechanisms behind these results. Regarding household PC access, even though Plan Ceibal was conceived as a universal program targeting primary-level students attending public schools, both infantilization of poverty and a dual-system educational stratification may explain why this initiative had a heterogenous impact across different income groups. Regarding household connectivity, Plan Ceibal reduced the cost of the bundle required to consume internet services at the time of the study, improving affordability and access among households with beneficiaries of the program.", "Addresses": "[Diaz, Carlos; Dodel, Matias] Univ Catol Uruguay, Dept Social Sci, Montevideo, Uruguay; [Menese, Pablo] Univ Republica, Ctr Estudios Polit Educ, Montevideo, Uruguay", "Affiliations": "Universidad de la Republica, Uruguay", "Reprint Addresses": "Dodel, M (corresponding author), Univ Catol Uruguay, Dept Social Sci, Montevideo, Uruguay.", "Email Addresses": "matias.dodel@ucu.edu.uy", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "Diaz, Carlos/0000-0002-8823-5976", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 48.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 0.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 0.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 2.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 18.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

The Korean government played an essential role in the development of 5G, creating a tailored institutional arrangement that allowed South Korea to be at the forefront of 5G. In particular, the government set up a detailed time plan on how to go about 5G deployment and commercialization. The government also facilitated collaborative work between companies, research institutes, and academia, and strongly promoted R&D work for the development of 5G equipment, devices, and applications, providing financial and administrative support, opportunities for field trials, and various forms of incentive, including tax benefits to companies. This study analyzed the 5G socio-technical system in South Korea through the lens of technology systems theory, identifying and discussing crucial factors that have propelled 5G development and major latent aspects, such as the lack of killer applications for consumers and in vertical industries, which may potentially hinder the further growth and stabilization of the 5G system in South Korea.", "Addresses": "[Massaro, Maria] Volvo Grp Trucks Technol, Grp Gardsgatan 10, SE-41715 Gothenburg, Sweden; [Kim, Seongcheol] Korea Univ, Sch Media & Commun, Seoul 02841, South Korea", "Affiliations": "Volvo; Korea University", "Reprint Addresses": "Kim, S (corresponding author), Korea Univ, Sch Media & Commun, Seoul 02841, South Korea.", "Email Addresses": "hiddentrees@korea.ac.kr", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "Kim, Seongcheol/0000-0001-6703-4465", "Funding Orgs": "Ministry of Education of the Republic of Korea; National Research Foundation of Korea [NRF2019S1A3A2099973]; MSIT (Ministry of Science and ICT) of Korea, under the ITRC (Information Technology Research Center) support program [IITP-2020-0-01749]", "Funding Name Preferred": "Ministry of Education of the Republic of Korea(Ministry of Education (MOE), Republic of Korea); National Research Foundation of Korea(National Research Foundation of Korea); MSIT (Ministry of Science and ICT) of Korea, under the ITRC (Information Technology Research Center) support program(Ministry of Science & ICT (MSIT), Republic of Korea)", "Funding Text": "This work was supported by the Ministry of Education of the Republic of Korea, the National Research Foundation of Korea (NRF2019S1A3A2099973), and the MSIT (Ministry of Science and ICT) of Korea, under the ITRC (Information Technology Research Center) support program (IITP-2020-0-01749) supervised by the IITP (Institute of Information & Communications Technology Planning & Evaluation).", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 163.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 18.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 18.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 1.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 10.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

Primary data were collected through a nationwide survey in 2019 covering all 34 Indonesian provinces. Secondary data regarding Indonesian villages' potential (PODES) are utilized to provide information about the availability of infrastructure at the village level. The standard utility/net gain maximization framework is adopted, and a binary logistic regression model is employed. A total of 8854 useable samples are analyzed. The results suggest that the probability of using e-commerce to make online purchases increases if an individual is male, young, married, highly educated, and an entrepreneur, as well as has access to the Internet, can easily find logistic and financial services, has sufficient digital skills, and has not been exposed to harmful content. These results produce several findings: the relative advantages of ecommerce over traditional commerce and the compatibility of e-commerce with individuals' needs and values can drive its adoption; digital skills and the ubiquitous related infrastructures are an essential requirements to expand e-commerce diffusion; exposure to harmful content is empirically discovered to be a barrier to e-commerce adoption.

We bring together contributions from leading anthropologists, technologists, political scientists, legal and communication scholars exploring how norms underpin the new ordering of the internet, whether in explicit or implicit forms. Through various theoretical lenses, contributions analyze the impact of platforms, states, civil society, expert groups and key individuals on restructuring the normative order of the internet, and present empirical evidence for instances of norm creation, legitimation, contestation and opposition. Valuable new insights for norm development processes come from case studies, ethnographies, legal and discourse analysis and interdisciplinary approaches locating agency and power plays.

We found that along with the reducing of the digital divide, its gaps still remain. The greatest polarization is associated with the income, age, and type of residence of the respondents. The most vulnerable social groups on access to ICTs and Internet use are the low-income, the elderly, citizens with disabilities, and those living in rural areas. The reverse shifts in the digital divide were recorded mainly in relation to the Internet usage by age between the middle-age and youth and by gender. In addition, we pointed out the most resistance social groups to reduce the digital divide in the period under review, in particular, by income and type of residence of the respondents.

This paper explores efficiency variation during the period 2012-2017 for the top 41 global telecom operators in Forbes Global, 2000. Based on the data envelopment analysis (DEA) meta-frontier approach to reflect differences in production functions, the empirical results herein show that the number of operators achieving technical efficiency with respect to the meta-frontier fell from 13 firms in 2012 to 10 firms in 2013 to 8 firms in 2014 to 8 firms in 2015 and then to 7 firms in 2016, but then rose to 11 firms in 2017, displaying the impact from rise in OTT. For the mobile-only group, the average technical efficiency with respect to the meta-frontier is 0.841, which is superior to the fixed-mobile group's 0.774 and the fixed-only group's 0.714, and the group difference is significant among the three facilities-based groups. The meta-frontier estimation suggests that the fixed-mobile group has the highest meta-technology ratio (MTR) of 0.901 versus the mobile-only group's 0.886 and fixed-only group's 0.718.

Studying the diffusion of mobile communications in African countries by integrating them into panels of developing countries is problematic. This approach is likely to mask the intrinsic differences as concerns the diffusion process. This survey shows, through the estimation of an S-shaped growth curve, that the Logistic model best describes the diffusion of mobile phone technology in Cameroon. Income, openness to competition and the use of SMS are key forces driving this diffusion. Forecasts indicate an increase of almost 70% in the demand by 2026 as far as mobile phone use in Cameroon is concerned. This implies not only an improvement in operators' and States revenues, but also, the need to invest in infrastructures. Our recommendation therefore calls for a greater liberalization of the mobile phone market in Cameroon. In addition, given the complementary relationship between the core and the mobile networks, infrastructural investments are also needed in both sectors.", "Addresses": "[Honore, Bidiasse] Univ Douala, Fac Econ & Appl Management, Res Grp Econ & Management GREG, POB 15214, Douala, Cameroon", "Affiliations": "", "Reprint Addresses": "Honoré, B (corresponding author), Univ Douala, Fac Econ & Appl Management, Res Grp Econ & Management GREG, POB 15214, Douala, Cameroon.", "Email Addresses": "bidiasseh@yahoo.fr", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 29.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 9.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 10.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 0.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 4.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

Using nationally representative data, this study uses logistic regressions and a decomposition technique to understand the trend. The decomposition reveals that a significant portion (65%) of the growth was due to an increase in the download speeds of mobile networks. An increased acceptance of mobile-only access by households aged 55 and older was also partly responsible.

Once balanced, the data reveal no economic payoff from the 15 Mbps speed difference between the years 2013 and 2015 (when data is available). I also revisit an early and widely -cited study on broadband's effect on employment to evaluate the possible impacts of selection bias, and conclude that the positive benefits of broadband reported in that particular study are likely spurious.

The main goal of the paper is to investigate substitutability and complementarity between various component services based on estimated valuations. Considerable preference heterogeneity towards fixed-line services is identified and explained by service profile and usage intensity. Broadband is the highest valued among fixed-line services. Fixed-line broadband and pay TV are super additive in valuations indicating complementarity. We obtain evidence of fixed to mobile substitution in voice and data, driven by unlimited mobile voice plans and data plans with higher transfer limit.

This study assesses the cost implications for the rollout of fixed access networks capable of providing citizens with downstream broadband capacities of 30 Mbps or 100 Mbps, which have been defined in the European Digital Agenda as targets that should be met by 2020. A cost model was employed to determine the cost of a home passed and the cost of a home connected for various fibre- and copper based networks in rural areas. It was found that the cost of deploying a network outside a town or village in a rural area is on average 80% higher than the cost of deploying the network in the town or village. This situation may lead to a digital divide within the same rural area. For all the geotypes analysed, the following order of costs (in descending order) was identified: FTTH, FTTdp-Building, FTTdp-Street, FTTRN, FTTC and CO-VDSL. Given the long lengths of distribution, feeder and drop segments required, some network architectures will not be able to provide all households in some areas with the minimum bandwidth of 30 Mbps as defined in the European Digital Agenda. Overall, it is possible that operators will need to create a combination of various broadband access networks, due to the significant cost differences between networks. Policymakers will need to address several topics to promote the rollout of broadband networks in rural areas: how the digital divide within a rural area can be avoided; a National Broadband Plan that clearly addresses the provisioning of broadband in rural areas; elaboration of studies on broadband demand in rural areas; and the assessment of costs and technical capacity of wireless networks in rural areas.

Specifically, regulatory instruments and delegated powers mediate the effects of independence and participation on regulation.

The firm-level trade data provide us with a clear overall picture of the structure and relationships of the three types of companies, while identifying the key players. The evidence shows that China's increasing participation in the ICT GVC is related to modularisation of product architecture, globalisation of production, and outsourcing and offshoring of manufacturing, and while several Chinese companies are rising rapidly, China continues to linger in the low value-added segments of the ICT GVC because of its ongoing dependence on foreign technology and its associated intellectual property (IP).

The results reveal that the factors that drive satisfaction for micro-enterprises and residential customers are similar, but the drivers of satisfaction for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are distinct. For example, alternative DSL operators outperform the incumbent for micro-enterprises, but not for SMEs. Overall, for both fixed internet and mobile services, operators with small market shares perform better than the incumbent, and business clients' satisfaction levels increase when they perceive that they can switch operators. Finally, subscribing to mobile and fixed bundles and dealing only with one telecom operator increase SMEs' satisfaction. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd.

Following this trajectory, this paper addresses governance by social media rather than governance of social media. Informed by conceptual frameworks from Internet governance and Science and Technology Studies, it examines the extent to which these platforms either promote or constrain rights in three thematic areas: (1) anonymous speech and individual privacy; (2) the ability to express ideas or, stated as a negative liberty, freedom from censorship; and (3) technical affordances of interoperability and permissionless innovation. Because of their unique role as the intermediaries providing citizens with access to the digital public sphere, social media platforms are central points of control on the Internet. Viewing these private platforms through an Internet governance lens, rather than a content lens, suggests that social media technical architectures and policies actually pose several challenges to communication rights as well as to the open Internet There is an opportunity for Internet governance studies, which have primarily focused on governmental policies and new global institutions, to give greater consideration to the direct policymaking role of private intermediaries and the accompanying phenomenon of the privatization of human rights.

A potentially disruptive technology would be to have unlicensed transmission in the lower UHF bands at power levels up to, e.g. 2 W EIRP. This would give citizens a share of the best spectrum for free use. Tools against congestion could be based on mandatory stochastic channel back-off or, if multiple users are present, on adaptive power and bandwidth control. Compared to the FCC TV white space regulation, no back link would be needed as the spectrum would be used exclusively by wireless devices. In an environment of shrinking interest in terrestrial TV broadcasting, such a regulation is expected to create a new market for high-range consumer devices, competing with licensed communication, while also being suitable for offloading traffic from licensed operations. Furthermore, the approach will allow for efficient digitization of equipment for Programme Making and Special Events (PMSE), but could also be made compatible with novel disaster relief services. To enable accurate interference prediction, it is proposed that, instead of only providing transmitter regulation, receivers should also be regulated, such as be required to adhere to a certain minimum selectivity. The proposal should be taken up in the WRC process. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd.

The regulation plays a crucial role in promoting the adoption of these technologies, in order to overcome the traditional paradigms of authorizations for exclusive spectrum usage. The article outlines spectrum management regimes where the implementation of frequency sharing technologies, including cognitive technologies, is foreseeable and brings them back to a comprehensive taxonomy of dynamic spectrum access and sharing models, in the effort to reconcile partially diverging approaches and nomenclatures suggested in literature. Theoretic analysis is supported by a number of illustrations and practical experiments with shared spectrum usage. Based on suggested taxonomy, the research aims at showing the evolutionary path toward the introduction and spreading of cognitive and other spectrum sharing technologies, pointing out relevant trends and instruments made available by the reform of EU Telecom Package, as well as at outlining the status of regulation, policy and standardization in Europe.

Both European and US policy perspectives are analysed as they pertain to both cognitive radios and the TV whitespace, identifying the contradictions and opportunities therein. The analysis shows that regulators have already formulated many of the policy tools necessary to create a coherent ecosystem for license-based exploitation of TV whitespace by cognitive radios and that there are opportunities for broadening the regulation of TV whitespace.

Fast-growing China Mobile Multimedia Broadcasting services (CMMB) leads China's mobile TV industry and forms the largest network globally. As mobile TV regulation and technology became stable after the initial stage, this study focuses on CMMB's competitiveness in market/industry subsystem. Using document analysis and expert interviews, it analyzes CMMB's institution-driven and market-driven forces in the Chinese 3G/4G telecommunication market. The socio-technical framework is incorporated with seven forces model to examine commercialized CMMB and investigates its market and technoculture in Shanghai. Institutionally, CMMB business structure was collapsed into three levels which managed extensive and diverse Chinese markets strategically through a unified platform. After the business model switched to a subscription model, CMMB's rollout slowed down but turned it into a sustainable business. Besides, analysis of market forces shows CMMB's good market competiveness due to strong support from suppliers, complementors, and distribution channels and little threat from rivals, new entrants, and substitutes. CMMB users have increasing switching cost because of improved content/services and devices and no data charge fee. In contrast, CMMB faces stronger threat from competitors and substitutes and less loyal consumers in Shanghai than on a national level. CMMB's rapid developmental path provides meaningful implications for other countries in establishing mobile multimedia networks. This study recommends a pro-innovative and technology-neutral regulatory approach to develop mobile TV. Finally, the socio-technical model is found useful for analyzing technological development at different stages and contexts. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

Their multiple regression analysis shows factors that determine broadband diffusion in technologically developed countries do not necessarily have the same impact in less developed countries. They show that in technologically developed countries, there is greater broadband diffusion in countries that make a higher financial investment in information and communication technologies (ICTs), have effective governing practices at the national level, have higher levels of education, and are more urban. In technologically developing nations, a competitive telecommunications sector and higher investment in ICTs lead to greater broadband diffusion, with investment having an even larger impact in the developing world than in the developed world. In addition, stronger democratic political institutions, higher levels of national income and lower levels of income inequality increase diffusion, but the presence of a national telecommunications regulatory authority has a negative impact.

Thus, MVNOs offer a wide range of mobile services and directly compete with every mobile network operator (MNO). This paper studies the economic justifications for potential regulatory intervention that defines the level of mobile termination rates (MTRs) and negotiations and agreements among MVNOs and HNOs. The results show that symmetric MTR reduction leads to competition growth among operators, forcing every operator to reduce retail prices and, consequently, to enhancing consumer welfare. The paper also finds that a collaborative strategy adopted by an HNO and an MVNO is advantageous for both and induces a reduction in retail prices, thus weakening other MNOs. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd.

This paper employs stochastic frontier analysis to estimate economic measures of efficiency for the telecommunications sectors of 139 economies and examine their relationship with economy size. Simultaneously, it controls for the effects of competition in telecommunications, privatization of state-owned providers, independent regulators, and the quality of political institutions on sector performance. The findings suggest that economy size has a positive but decreasing impact on sector performance. Small economies have an incentive to grow to improve sector performance, though larger size is not a sufficient condition for efficiency. Sector policy and the quality of polity may contribute significantly to sector performance. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd.

Innovation failure is a critical factor leading to a lack of high-income jobs, network effects, and price reductions for data services. Most mobile service innovations have been made in Japan in 'clubs of operators' with their suppliers. Apple USA followed the same model of control with its iPhone. Conversely, a lack of this critical type of competition characterises European operators. Revenues per citizen are in some countries similar to those in Japan, but with handsets with less functions. Europe and all other regions face the challenge of competing with Japanese and US innovators. The lessons to be learned are (1) becoming aware of the situation, (2) allocating spectrum that covers a sufficient population size to allow technological competition, and (3) developing a strong customer orientation.

This decentralization is also pivotal in payment Payment channel networks (PCNs), including the Lightning Network, have emerged as a promising solution to the scalability challenges that many blockchain-based cryptocurrencies, like Bitcoin, grapple with. These PCNs, while innovative, also inherit the rigorous dependability demands of the blockchain. A pivotal aspect of this dependability is the need for a high degree of decentralization, essential for mitigating liquidity bottlenecks and on-path attacks. Driven by this imperative, our research embarks on an empirical centrality analysis of the Lightning Network, with a keen focus on the betweenness centrality distribution of its routing system. Utilizing an extensive dataset, sourced from several millions of broadcasted messages via the gossip protocol, we introduce the TimeMachine tool, an innovative method that allows for a temporal exploration of the network's evolution. Our findings reveal that while the Lightning Network exhibits a commendable level of decentralization, there is a discernible skew: a limited set of nodes command a significant portion of the transactions. Alarmingly, over the past two years, the network's centrality has surged, with the inequality, as gauged by the Gini index, rising by over 15 uptick of approximately 5 in. This research not only uncovers critical insights into the Lightning Network's structural dynamics but also raises the question about strategies and policies that ensure its sustained decentralization in the face of evolving challenges such as security vulnerabilities, potential monopolistic tendencies, liquidity bottlenecks, the risk of transaction censorship and many more.", "Addresses": "[Zabka, Philipp] Univ Vienna, Fac Comp Sci, Waehringer Str 29, A-1090 Vienna, Austria; [Foerster, Klaus -T.] TU Dortmund, Dept Comp Sci, Otto-Hahn-Str 16, D-44227 Dortmund, Germany; [Decker, Christian] Blockstream, Zurich, Switzerland; [Schmid, Stefan] TU Berlin, Fac Elect Engn & Comp Sci, Einsteinufer 17, D-10587 Berlin, Germany; [Schmid, Stefan] Weizenbaum Inst, Berlin, Germany", "Affiliations": "University of Vienna; Dortmund University of Technology; Technical University of Berlin", "Reprint Addresses": "Zabka, P (corresponding author), Univ Vienna, Fac Comp Sci, Waehringer Str 29, A-1090 Vienna, Austria.", "Email Addresses": "philipp.zabka@univie.ac.at; klaus-tycho.foerster@tu-dortmund.de; decker.christian@gmail.com; stefan.schmid@tu-berlin.de", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "Schmid, Stefan/0000-0002-7798-1711", "Funding Orgs": "Austrian Science Fund (FWF); NetIDEE SCIENCE project [P 33775-N]; German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF); [16KISK020K]", "Funding Name Preferred": "Austrian Science Fund (FWF)(Austrian Science Fund (FWF)); NetIDEE SCIENCE project; German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF)(Federal Ministry of Education & Research (BMBF));", "Funding Text": "We acknowledge the Austrian Science Fund (FWF) and netIDEE SCIENCE project P 33775-N (ReactNet) and supported by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) , project 6G-RIC, grant 16KISK020K (6G-RIC) , 2021-2025.", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 50.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 0.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 0.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 4.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 4.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "London", "Publisher Address": "125 London Wall, London, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

However, while the transition marked a pivotal moment in ICANN's his-tory, the corporation still operates within U.S. jurisdiction. This situation makes ICANN subject to compliance with the U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) sanctions programs, impeding the corporation from contracting and accrediting gTLD registries and registrars from countries currently targeted by OFAC, as well as individuals or entities included in OFAC's & DLANGBRAC;Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons & drangbrac; (SDN) list.

One IoT device is the smart speaker that is equipped with an integrated assistant controlled by spoken commands. In the global smart speaker market, Chinese brands account for a significant share. Since smart speakers have a natural advantage when collecting user data in diverse scenarios, privacy and personal information protection have become crucial issues for both smart speaker manufacturers and users in China. This paper applies the socio-technical system (STS) framework to portray the technology subsystem, the industry/market subsystem and the regulators, law/regulation subsystem that are related to smart speakers in China, and how they interact with each other. It also uses focus group discussions to understand the smart speaker users' privacy concerns and the smart speaker industry's implementation of personal information protection. By employing the document analysis method, this study analyzes the laws and regulations related to privacy and personal information protection in the context of AI and the IoT. In particular, the potential impacts of the Personal Information Protection Law (PIPL) on smart speakers are discussed in detail. With its goal of balancing personal information protection and technological development, this paper provides recommendations for the regulatory bodies and the smart speaker industry players in China that can shed light on other countries and regions.", "Addresses": "[Liu, Yu-li; Huang, Luyan; Yan, Wenjia; Wang, Xinghan; Zhang, Ruochen] City Univ Hong Kong, Run Run Shaw Creat Media Ctr, Dept Media & Commun, Kowloon Tong, 18 Tat Hong Ave, Hong Kong, Peoples R China", "Affiliations": "City University of Hong Kong", "Reprint Addresses": "Yan, WJ (corresponding author), City Univ Hong Kong, Run Run Shaw Creat Media Ctr, Dept Media & Commun, Kowloon Tong, 18 Tat Hong Ave, Hong Kong, Peoples R China.", "Email Addresses": "yuliliu@cityu.edu.hk; luyhuang@cityu.edu.hk; wenjiayan4-c@my.cityu.edu.hk; xinghwang6-c@my.cityu.edu.hk; ruoczhang2-c@my.cityu.edu.hk", "Researcher Ids": "Zhang, Ruochen/HOC-1927-2023", "ORCIDs": "LIU, YU-LI/0000-0002-7852-4678; Yan, Wenjia/0000-0001-6708-2520; Huang, Luyan/0000-0003-2992-5720", "Funding Orgs": "City University of Hong Kong [9380125, 7005491]", "Funding Name Preferred": "City University of Hong Kong(City University of Hong Kong)", "Funding Text": "The work described in this paper was partially supported by the grants from City University of Hong Kong (Project No. 9380125 and 7005491) .

At the same time, there is some tentative evidence suggesting that information and communication technology is positively correlated with income inequality. However, whether and how ICT affects wealth inequality is less explored, particularly because of the lack of reliable data on wealth inequality. This paper, therefore, fills this gap and contributes to this new literature by investigating the effect of ICT on wealth inequality in a sample of 45 developed and developing countries over the period 2000-2017. ICT is measured with six different indicators (including internet penetration, mobile penetration, ICT service exports, the ICT index, ICT quality, and ICT quantity), while wealth inequality is measured with three different indicators (comprising billionaire wealth to GDP, the Top 1% wealth share, and the Top 10% wealth share). The empirical analysis is based on the Generalised Method of Moments, and the results show that ICT increases wealth inequality. Furthermore, we show that democracy mitigates the increasing effect of ICT on wealth inequality. This result suggests that improving democracy in both developed and developing countries is an effective mechanism for mitigating the effects of ICT on wealth inequality. Therefore, we encourage efforts to implement democratic institutions that ensure respect for citizens' freedoms, greater democratic accountability, and executive constraints that allow for a more egalitarian distribution of wealth.", "Addresses": "[Njangang, Henri] Univ Dschang, Fac Econ & Management, LAREFA, Dschang, Cameroon; [Beleck, Alim] Univ Bamenda, Higher Teacher Training Coll HTTTC, Bamenda, Cameroon; [Tadadjeu, Sosson; Kamguia, Brice] Univ Dschang, Dschang Sch Econ & Management, LAREFA, Dschang, Cameroon", "Affiliations": "Universite de Dschang; Universite de Dschang", "Reprint Addresses": "Njangang, H (corresponding author), Univ Dschang, Fac Econ & Management, LAREFA, Dschang, Cameroon.", "Email Addresses": "ndieupahenri@gmail.com; alim.belek@yahoo.fr; stadadjeu@yahoo.fr; bricekamguiadj@yahoo.fr", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "Njangang, Henri/0000-0003-0362-3222", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 128.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 19.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 19.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 5.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 43.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

Second, with regard to net effects, while unexpected negative signs are established, the corresponding positive interactive effects indicate that enhancing the penetration of mobile phone technology beyond some critical thresholds ensures positive net effects.

While many in the UK already benefit from the provision of broadband, some, especially those located in more rural and remote areas, do not - they may not be able to access the Internet and when they do, their connection and consumer experience may be poor. After trying to resolve this through a stream of different initiatives, the UK government announced a broadband universal service obligation (USO) of 10 Mbps in late 2015. Ofcom, the telecommunications regulator, launched a consultation in April 2016 and sought the views of interested parties. The consultation attracted considerable interest, but after the submissions from orchestrated campaigns are discounted just over 100 responses remain. But who contributed and what did they say? To explore these two questions, this paper adopts a qualitative approach, using NVIVO, to analyse the responses to the consultation. We show that contributions were highly diverse, reflecting both the complexity of the issue as well as its politicised nature. A lack of agreement among the responses is revealed and divergent views on key issues like the appropriateness of 10 Mbps, whether this should change, how it should be funded or what technologies should be used exist. In this paper, we provide a critical discussion of and derive implications for the broadband USO. We tentatively conclude that those in rural and remote areas that the USO intends to help are caught between two countervailing forces - speed and cost deployment - that interact to ensure that whatever resolution to provide broadband access, some will likely be unhappy.", "Addresses": "[Stocker, Volker] TU Berlin, Berlin, Germany; [Stocker, Volker] Weizenbaum Inst Networked Soc, Berlin, Germany; [Whalley, Jason] Northumbria Univ, Newcastle Business Sch, Newcastle Upon Tyne, Tyne & Wear, England; [Whalley, Jason] Inst Mines Telecom Business Sch, Paris, France", "Affiliations": "Technical University of Berlin; Northumbria University; Newcastle University - UK", "Reprint Addresses": "Whalley, J (corresponding author), Northumbria Univ, Newcastle Business Sch, Newcastle Upon Tyne, Tyne & Wear, England.", "Email Addresses": "Jason.whalley@northumbria.ac.uk", "Researcher Ids": "Stocker, Volker/AAG-7757-2022; Stocker, Volker/AEA-0432-2022", "ORCIDs": "", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 65.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 10.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 10.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 0.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 12.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

It explores three distinct but related case studies to disentangle the issues and concerns of a range of communities of color, and the challenges and opportunities for their advocates in navigating the highly technical communications technology policy arena: the first case study, which centers on the NAACP's original opposition to net neutrality, reveals the primacy of issues surrounding the digital divide to populations of color, and the difficulties of engaging in technical conversations surrounding Internet governance when issues of access persist. Meanwhile, the second case reviews the campaign by Free Press to promote set-top box liberalization as an issue of representation and diversity to both policymakers and citizens. The final case, which examines the work of the Tribal International Carrier to build an alternative internet service network for Native populations, highlights the precarity which organizations must strategically navigate in order to mitigate the influence of both the state and large corporations over Internet policy issues in order to both serve and represent their constituents. In all, this paper presents and extends upon a novel approach to communications policy research, foregrounding the need to integrate critical race frameworks and, relatedly, to center the breadth, depth, and lived experiences of communities of color, which can therein facilitate more inclusive digital media and communication environments and policy structures.", "Addresses": "[Moran, Rachel E.; Bui, Matthew N.] Univ Southern Calif, Annenberg Sch Commun & Journalism, Los Angeles, CA 90089 USA", "Affiliations": "University of Southern California", "Reprint Addresses": "Moran, RE (corresponding author), Univ Southern Calif, Annenberg Sch Commun & Journalism, Los Angeles, CA 90089 USA.", "Email Addresses": "rachelm@usc.edu", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "Bui, Matthew/0000-0002-2815-404X", "Funding Orgs": "Benton Foundation; Consortium on Media Policy Studies; USC Annenberg School", "Funding Name Preferred": "Benton Foundation; Consortium on Media Policy Studies; USC Annenberg School", "Funding Text": "The authors wish to acknowledge the Benton Foundation, the Consortium on Media Policy Studies and the USC Annenberg School for their guidance and support of this research.", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 49.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 14.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 17.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 0.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 12.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

However, those comparisons have become more complicated because of the escalation in service usage and telecommunications expenditures spurred by the proliferation of smartphones and broadband LTE wireless internet service networks. The basket-based methodologies that have been widely used for international price comparisons are also limited-first, because the baskets for comparison may not be representative of actual service usage patterns in some countries; second, because they are difficult to apply to highly differentiated service plans due to the significant increase in wireless internet service usage and widely used plans with unlimited voice call service and SMS/MMS; and third, because they cannot consider the quality of service, such as upload and download speed in various service environments, at all. As an alternative, this paper proposes a hedonic pricing model that accounts for service quality and its variation in potentially disruptive environments, as well as fixed charge for a mobile phone additional to the price of service plans. The model was used to derive quality-adjusted price indices of mobile telecommunications services for twelve cities in ten countries with broadband LTE wireless internet service. The empirical results confirmed that the price index of each city varied significantly across the specifications,-both within the United States and internationally-depending on whether the model was constructed to reflect service quality and its variation on roads, in buildings, and in subways. The price index of each city also varied depending on whether the subsidized price of a mobile phone was considered part of the monthly price of a service plan. These results have important implications for policymakers seeking to understand the ultimate level of mobile telecommunication service prices for their country in a global context.", "Addresses": "[Yun, Seong Hun; Kim, Minki] Korea Adv Inst Sci & Technol, Coll Business, Daejeon, South Korea; [Kim, Yongjae] Hankuk Univ Foreign Studies, Coll Business, Seoul, South Korea", "Affiliations": "Korea Advanced Institute of Science & Technology (KAIST); Hankuk University Foreign Studies", "Reprint Addresses": "Kim, M (corresponding author), Korea Adv Inst Sci & Technol, Coll Business, Daejeon, South Korea.;Kim, Y (corresponding author), Hankuk Univ Foreign Studies, Coll Business, Seoul, South Korea.", "Email Addresses": "ysh6878@kaist.ac.kr; y.kim@hufs.ac.kr; minki.kim@kaist.ac.kr", "Researcher Ids": "Kim, Minki/C-1851-2011", "ORCIDs": "Kim, Minki/0000-0001-8696-2494; Kim, Yongjae/0000-0001-9533-4000", "Funding Orgs": "National Research Foundation of Korea Grant - Korean Government [NRF-2015-S1A3A-2046742]; Hankuk University of Foreign Studies Research Fund", "Funding Name Preferred": "National Research Foundation of Korea Grant - Korean Government; Hankuk University of Foreign Studies Research Fund", "Funding Text": "This work was supported by the National Research Foundation of Korea Grant funded by the Korean Government (NRF-2015-S1A3A-2046742) and Hankuk University of Foreign Studies Research Fund.", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 37.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 7.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 8.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 1.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 10.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

This study specifically focuses on the manner in which Android's openness to both applications and devices influences the intentions of application developers to continuously participate in Android platform through the structural equation modeling. First, openness to applications directly influences the participation intention of application developers as well as the user base of the platform. An increased user base leads to the enhanced participation intention of application developers through indirect network effects. Second, openness to devices contributes to increasing the user base, which in turn, positively influences the intention of application developers.

Therefore, several studies have analyzed how MNO customers who gave a termination announcement differ from individuals who did not communicate this message. However, no work has examined such differences among subscribers who recently switched to another tariff of their MNO. Therefore, this paper explores socio-demographic, service consumption and tariff change differences between contract cancellation announcers and non-announcers in a sample of 1810 postpaid customers who had changed their rate plan not long ago. Cancellation announcers were more likely to be males who decreased their mobile voice consumption after their tariff switch, had already attempted to churn in the past, had moved from an unmetered to a metered rate type, paid higher monthly bill amounts and received no discounts on their current rate plan that was introduced on the market some time ago. Among subscribers who gave a termination notice, early (late) cancellation announcers were more likely to be older (younger) customers with a growing (shrinking) SMS consumption after their tariff switch, had not attempted (had already tried) to leave their current MNO in the past, and were in a rate plan that was (not) recently introduced.

It examines the relationship between mobile phone access, citizen engagement, and appropriation of the technology by the governing elite for political communication and electoral campaigns. It concludes that Ghana has witnessed a rich convergence of mobile telephony and broadcast media which, in tandem with an open political environment, has significantly transformed the ecology of political communication. This development has helped to deepen democratic engagement among citizens, and between citizens and the political class, by fostering civic vigilance and accountability and facilitating multivocal expression of views from a more diverse constituency of political participants. However, while mobile phones and related platforms have allowed contra-and counter-hegemonic voices in Ghanaian politics to find expression across the electromagnetic spectrum, this access should not be construed to necessarily mean that political discourse has shifted in significant ways as to alter the fundamental structures of political power. Overall, the fundamental structures of political power and the levers of control remain unassailed by ordinary citizens, despite some of the progress made possible by mobile telephony.", "Addresses": "[Tettey, Wisdom J.] Univ British Columbia, Irving K Barber Sch Arts & Sci, Arts & Sci Ctr, Room ASC 406,Okanagan Campus,3187 Univ Way, Kelowna, BC V1V 1V7, Canada", "Affiliations": "University of British Columbia", "Reprint Addresses": "Tettey, WJ (corresponding author), Univ British Columbia, Irving K Barber Sch Arts & Sci, Arts & Sci Ctr, Room ASC 406,Okanagan Campus,3187 Univ Way, Kelowna, BC V1V 1V7, Canada.", "Email Addresses": "wisdom.tettey@ubc.ca", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "Tettey, Wisdom/0000-0002-0785-0038", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 95.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 3.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 5.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 0.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 16.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

This study examines the relationship between the viewing rates for television programs at their original broadcast and the quantity of TV-VOD streaming hours, namely how television program distribution on one channel affects its usage on another channel. An empirical analysis is carried out using the data for TV-VODs of 605 television programs. Empirical results indicate that a television program's viewing rate is positively related with the quantity of streaming hours, providing empirical evidence on the positive inter-channel relationship. This positive relationship, however, is weaker for news and cultural programs than for dramas and variety shows, and is absent for unpopular television programs. Based on the study results, several implications are offered to television broadcasters, advertisers and broadcasting regulators. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd.

The results are strikingly divergent. Japanese involvement in Internet standardization began 'early and Japan was, for many years, second only to the U.S. in terms of IETF participation. Though Japanese participation has declined since the early 2000s, Japan remains a major contributor to IETF standardization. Korean involvement in IETF has always been significant, but below the levels of Japan and major European countries. Korean participation in IETF has also declined over the past decade, and has been dominated by one firm, Samsung. Though meaningful Chinese involvement in IETF did not begin until the mid-2000s, it has rapidly expanded in recent years. Today, China is a major player in numerous areas of Internet standardization in terms of three metrics (participation, patenting and leadership), and is rapidly gaining in terms of document authorship as well. Most of China's recent IETF involvement can be attributed to Huawei, though other Chinese firms have recently begun to increase their participation in the organization. Thus, contrary to some views that China's engagement with standardization is primarily one of indigenous innovation and catching up, China's experience with IETF demonstrates deliberate and effective engagement with a major Western standards-development organization on its own terms.

Recently, a moderate amount of research has been undertaken to explore the conceptual issues underlying the right to be forgotten and how the right conflicts with the U.S. first amendment, but little has been written about its impending implementation and interoperability issues. While this is an E.U. Data Protection Regulation proposing to grant rights only to E.U. citizens, the world has a stake in this right for a number of reasons. This article will analyze the options for non-E.U. countries and data controllers, namely the U. S., to react to the establishment of such a right, now called The Right to Erasure. These options are the following: (1) adopt the same right to erasure for themselves, (2) ignore right to erasure claims, (3) comply with erasure take down requests, or (4) seek to establish a modified version of the right to erasure. In assessing these options, the article will first address the reality of a right to erasure under U.S. law. Second, it will discuss compliance and jurisdictional issues if the right is ignored. Third, the article will look at the impact of full acceptance of the take-down regime, focusing on the potential chilling effects and abuse. Finally, it will propose that non-E.U. countries encourage a right to erasure that is less disruptive: a right to erasure that allows data subjects to directly request removal of data held privately by data controllers and a right to oblivion for publicly available information that is enforced similarly to defamation claims, requiring a court order.

In recent years they have invested in IPTV platforms and launched their own IPTV services. This has brought a new question on the regulatory agenda: shall network operators be obliged to offer wholesale access to their IPTV platform? And if yes, should the new wholesale IPTV product be regulated in the same way as traditional wholesale access? Or should traditional regulation be modified? While the majority of countries have so far no regulatory rules in place, some national regulators have started to become active in this market segment. In order for alternative network operators to realise multiple play offers including IPTV they must be able to match the offers of the incumbent operators. Such replicability with respect to telecoms infrastructure is in principle no problem as long as regulatory rules on local loop unbundling and related facilities are in place. But what if incumbent operators are neither required to offer unbundled access to their FTTH local loops nor do alternative network operators have access to sub-loop unbundling? It is for this reason that many argue some form of direct access to the incumbent multicast equipment needs to be provided. Otherwise the provision of IPTV services will be restricted to large network operators. The paper demonstrates that the regulation of wholesale access to IPTV depends above all on country specific conditions. Ex-ante regulation of access to wholesale broadband services over any DSL technology and any transport technology (ATM and Ethernet) in the sense that the SMP operator is obliged to offer a multicast functionality that allows competitors to offer TV services should be bound to a number of requirements: (1) the demand characteristics such as demand for bundled products. A precondition for determining regulatory obligations with respect to the provision of wholesale access to IPTV platforms should be that multiple play offers are the dominant form of providing telecom services. (2) The lack of cable TV operators exerting competitive pressure at the retail level for triple play products. (3) A lack of LLU in the country, so that alternative operators need a multicast WBA access to offer multiple play services. The paper is organised as follows. The first section of the paper briefly describes the technical and market characteristics of wholesale IPTV access. The second section considers the impact of IPTV wholesale access regulation on competition, investment and broadband diffusion. The third section examines regulatory issues concerning access to wholesale IPTV in more detail. The final section gives key recommendations for a regulatory strategy on wholesale broadband access to IPTV. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd.

As opposed to UHF broadcast spectrum, which contains unassigned or idle segments known as white spaces, the 400 MHz band is characterised by intensive licence usage. However, productive spectrum usage does not guarantee allocative efficiency, which would require knowledge of the highest value service for each licence. 400 MHz frequencies are not priced on opportunity cost. It is therefore difficult to ascertain the economically efficient mix of services to deploy in the 400 MHz band. Drawing parallels with the high-economic value revealed and generated through the operations of unlicensed white space devices in UHF broadcast spectrum, we identify untapped 400 MHz spectrum capacity, which we refer to as narrowband spaces. Encouraging dynamic spectrum usage of narrowband spaces could, similarly to TV white space usage help realise the efficient allocation of the 400 MHz band. However, the narrowband nature of the 400 MHz licences and high licensing turnover imply a significantly different concept of dynamic spectrum access than that considered for TV Bands. The paper discusses regulatory implications and the type of services suited to exploit narrowband spaces. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd.

The NBM is a multiagency effort, including the National Telecommunications Administration (NTIA), the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), fifty U.S. states and five U.S. territories, to collect and disseminate information on broadband provision and quality of service for the United States. From a geographic perspective, the NBM represents a marked departure from previous broadband data efforts. Specifically, instead of disseminating FCC Form 477 data on providers at the ZIP code or Census tract level, the NBM reports provision information at the Census block level the smallest geographic unit in which the Census bureau tabulates survey information. While this increased level of geographic data resolution is a welcome change, there are several notable limitations to these data that are important to consider when conducting spatial econometric analysis for public policy evaluation. With this in mind, the purpose of this paper is twofold. First, this paper explores the salient characteristics of Census block geographic base files, highlighting their strengths and weaknesses as summary units of spatial analysis. This also includes a brief discussion on how the NBM treats geographically large blocks and their use of road segments for aggregating provider data. Second, this paper examines the impacts of empty blocks (i.e. blocks that have no household information associated with them) for the spatial analysis of broadband. Finally, this paper provides a short overview of how these data limitations can impact public policy evaluation and provides a blueprint for improving the National Broadband Map.

In many ways, both regimes frame the issues in a similar manner, with the exceptions for reasonable traffic management and specialised services likely to play the most important roles. Both regimes also focus on similar considerations, including whether measures are based on technical rather than business considerations and the distinction between measures aimed at improving the performance of the entire network or specific applications, although both distinctions are problematic in some respects. Both regimes also emphasize application agnosticism and end-user choice, with European law finding the former implicit in the latter. At the same time, European and U.S. law reflect some key differences: the regimes cover different types of entities, frame the issues in terms of nondiscrimination versus throttling and paid prioritization, take different positions on whether measures must be limited to temporary or exceptional circumstances, and place different weight on the impact of the rules on investment and on the relevance industry standards.

Technical standards are primarily developed within standard devel-oping organisations (SDOs) traditionally operating under consensus-based, community-and largely industry-driven processes. Governments are increasingly interested in technical standards' development, accentuating the political dimension of standardisation. This article explores the contribution of technical standardisation to the governance of artificial intelligence (AI) and asks whose views are being implemented in the development of non-state rules for AI. The article, based on empirical research, focuses on the changing governance structure of the International Telecommunications Union (ITU). Overall, the discussion offers an overview of the existing geopolitics in AI-related standardisation and contributes to the scholarship on AI and digital governance by exploring the role of technical standardisation as a tool in AI governance. The research finds an increasing Chinese representation in international standardisation and argues that the political use of standardisation can lead to China establishing its own vision of digital governance. Consequently, the article suggest that China is using participation in recognised SDOs to legitimate its vision for digital governance calling for a re-examination of standardisation considering its implications for democracy and the protection of human rights.", "Addresses": "[Gamito, Marta Cantero] Univ Tartu, Tartu, Estonia; [Gamito, Marta Cantero] European Univ Inst, Sch Transnatl Governance, Fiesole, Italy", "Affiliations": "University of Tartu; European University Institute", "Reprint Addresses": "Gamito, MC (corresponding author), European Univ Inst, Sch Transnatl Governance, Fiesole, Italy.", "Email Addresses": "marta.cantero@eui.eu", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "Cantero Gamito, Marta/0000-0001-8200-3456", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 112.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 0.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 0.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 34.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 34.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "London", "Publisher Address": "125 London Wall, London, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

Significantly, how the digital economy modulates the effects of financial development on trade remains unexplored. Our study addresses these research gaps using panel data from 47 African economies spanning 1990 to 2019. Our findings based on the dynamic system GMM approach show that the direct impacts of financial development and the digital economy have been crucial in driving international trade in Africa in the short and long runs. Second, in the short and long runs, the digital economy serves as a vital channel through which financial development has the most significant impact on trade in Africa. Third, the robustness checks by excluding countries endowed with natural resources in Africa provide robust evidence that digital technology and finance matter for trade. Further, the study discloses an important novelty in that the marginal effects on trade increase when financial development in Africa interacts with the digital economy. In light of these findings, we conclude that policy reforms should focus on policies that encourage the development of the digital economy and its use in the financial sector in Africa.", "Addresses": "[Bunje, Madinatou Yeh; Abendin, Simon; Wang, Yin] Zhengzhou Univ, Sch Business, Zhengzhou 450001, Peoples R China", "Affiliations": "Zhengzhou University", "Reprint Addresses": "Wang, Y (corresponding author), Zhengzhou Univ, Sch Business, Zhengzhou 450001, Peoples R China.", "Email Addresses": "zzuwangyin@163.com", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "Abendin, Simon/0000-0003-0944-3230", "Funding Orgs": "CNational Planning Office of Philosophy and Social Sciences; [20FGLB071]", "Funding Name Preferred": "CNational Planning Office of Philosophy and Social Sciences;", "Funding Text": "Funding Funded by CNational Planning Office of Philosophy and Social Sciences (20FGLB071) .", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 63.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 14.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 14.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 34.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 91.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

Using a comprehensive measure of digitization that encompasses the commonly used proxies of financial technology (Fintech) and employing a System Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) panel estimation methodology on annual data over the period 2004?2018, this paper examines the impact of digitization, as a proxy of Fintech, on the inflow of remittances for a sample of 34 developed and developing countries. Our analysis provides an interesting case study on Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa (BRICS), known as five emerging markets with a great number of workers out of abroad but below the average level of digital transfers. Using the Digital Ecosystem Development Index developed by Katz and Callorda (2018), the results of the paper uncover a statistically significant nonlinear relationship between the improvement in digitization measures and the inflow of remittances with an exact threshold level. More specifically, our results indicate that improvement in digitization may initially increase the remittances inflow leading to an increase in the stock of remittances received. Nevertheless, once the digitization index reaches its threshold level further improvement in digitization tends decrease as penetration increases, giving rise to a decline in the rate of remittances inflow. This result implies that the marginal effect of the digital penetration is larger when at its lower level, before the threshold level. For countries such as the BRICS, with a level of digitization below the average of our sample, policy makers should apply more aggressive and comprehensive policies to recoup the maximum gains of a digital ecosystem. Hence, our policy implications are directed towards increasing the investments in developing human capacity including carrying different skill development training programs to prepare individuals for the information age, expanding the internet coverage and speed especially in educational establishments, encouraging the use and access of electronic banking by consumers, producers, and governments, and taking cyber security and fraud protection more seriously to encourage the flow of remittances, especially in light of its renewed utility due to the recent pandemic.", "Addresses": "[Emara, Noha] Rutgers State Univ, New Brunswick, NJ 08901 USA; [Emara, Noha] Columbia Univ, SIPA, New York, NY 10027 USA; [Zhang, Yuanhao] Columbia Univ, New York, NY 10027 USA", "Affiliations": "Rutgers University System; Rutgers University New Brunswick; Columbia University; Columbia University", "Reprint Addresses": "Emara, N (corresponding author), Rutgers State Univ, New Brunswick, NJ 08901 USA.;Emara, N (corresponding author), Columbia Univ, SIPA, New York, NY 10027 USA.", "Email Addresses": "nemara@camden.rutgers.edu", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": ", Noha/0000-0002-7981-8256", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 45.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 20.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 20.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 4.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 43.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

The object of the current paper is to investigate whether consumers use a particular heuristic thinking, i.e., salience-based decision making, in mobile plan choices. Using a unique panel data of mobile plan choices from a major telecommunication operator in China, we document evidence that consumer?s mobile plan choices are overly influenced by the salience of overusing or underusing the allowance. In particular, we show that given the ex post optimality of the current plan, a consumer tend to switch to plans with larger allowances when overuse the allowance, and switch to plans with smaller allowances when underuse the allowance. We also find that salience-based decision making is a consistent behavior pattern and heterogeneous among consumers. Finally, we show that more experienced consumers are more likely to avoid the upward bias but not the downward bias.

However, the role of ICTs has brought with it numerous legal and regulatory challenges as well as an exacerbating criminal enterprise through cybercrime. Despite this, the evidence on the role of ICTs in improving the quality of life (QoL) is mixed and the exact nature of this relationship is not yet well understood especially at the global level. Existing information systems research has examined generally the effects of ICTs on the QoL at individual country level but there remains a gap in the understanding of the association between specific ICTs such as mobile penetration and QoL. In this study, we examine the effects of mobile penetration and QoL on one hand, and the mediating effects of ICT regulation on the other. We rely on the capability approach and archival data from 114 countries whilst employing Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modelling as the data analysis method. Our results show support for only the association of ICT regulation and QoL and prove that the mediating effects of ICT regulation is not significant. Our findings suggest that to enhance the QoL, practitioners and policymakers should emphasize ICT regulation to protect the privacy and security of individuals online to achieve the needed benefits.

In the developing world, mobile technologies are widely adopted and mobile broadband is progressively rolled-out with high expectations on its impact on the countries' development. We highlight what the determinants of mobile broadband use are in four Sub-Saharan countries. Using micro-level data coming from household surveys over 5 years, from 2013 to 2017, we show that SIM card ownership and being part of an online social community has a strong positive impact on mobile broadband use. We also highlight a positive correlation between digital inclusion and financial inclusion as mobile money users and bank account users are found to be more inclined to use mobile broadband. However, beyond apparent similarities, mobile broadband is used in different ways according to countries specificities. For instance, among the non-mobile owners in Nigeria, the unemployed are the most likely to use mobile broadband, most probably for job search practices, while it is rather used by students for information gathering in other countries.

Three inequality indicators are used, namely: the Gini coefficient, the Atkinson index and the Palma ratio. The adopted ICT indicators are mobile phone penetration, internet penetration and fixed broadband subscriptions. Three gender economic inclusion indicators are also used for the analysis, namely: female labour force participation, female unemployment and female employment. The Generalised Method of Moments is employed as empirical strategy. The findings show that enhancing ICT beyond certain thresholds is necessary for ICT to mitigate inequality in order to enhance gender economic participation. First, for female labour force participation, a minimum threshold of 165.714 mobile phone penetration per 100 people is required for the Palma ratio. Second, minimum ICT thresholds for the reduction of female unemployment are: (i) 87.783, 107.486 and 152.500 mobile phone penetration per 100 people for respectively, the Gini coefficient, the Atkinson index and the Palma ratio; (ii) 39.618 internet penetration per 100 people for the Atkinson index and (iii) 4.500 fixed broadband subscritptions for the Palma ratio. Third, the corresponding ICT thresholds for the promotion of female employment are: (i) 120.369 and 85.533 mobile phone penetration per 100 people for respectively, the Gini coefficient and the Atkinson index and (ii) 30.005 internet penetration per 100 people for the Gini coefficient.

To comprehensively understand users' motivations in visiting the offline flagship store, the study conducted a focus group interview and used the confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) to identify seven key motivations. The empirical findings are drawn from 332 Korean respondents that use the mIM service and have experience in visiting the character flagship store. The study finds that users who actively use mIM services and emoticons are likely to visit the store due to the identified factors.

Since 2012, mobile phone penetration has shown nearly linear growth, reaching 83% in 2016. However, this statistic falls to only 46% after correcting for ownership of multiple SIM cards and sharing of mobile phones among multiple users. The determinants of mobile phone ownership in Nigeria are poorly understood, which hinders research that could inform policies capable of increasing mobile phone penetration and eliminating the digital divide. To begin to fill this research gap, we have analyzed socio-economic factors related to mobile phone ownership in the country. We used a logit model and the latest national-level Datafirst ICT dataset (2012) about mobile phone adoption from 1552 individuals. The sample was stratified, clustered, and probability-weighted to make it representative of the situation at the national level. The results suggest that factors such as geographic location and income may not strongly influence mobile phone ownership, in contrast to what was previously thought. Instead, the strongest factors appeared to be education level, informal work, social engagement, type of electricity supply and employment status. Our analysis suggests that to increase mobile phone ownership and close the digital divide, policy makers should target younger adults, provide training in digital literacy specifically for mobile phone use, invest in electricity supply infrastructure, and develop content and applications in non-English languages. These findings may contribute to understanding mobile phone distribution in Nigeria as well as inform implementation of the country's ICT Roadmap 2017-2020 and Vision 2020.", "Addresses": "[Forenbacher, Ivan; Husnjak, Sinisa; Cvitic, Ivan; Jovovic, Ivan] Univ Zagreb, Fac Transport & Traff Sci, Dept Informat & Commun Traff, Vukeliceva 4, Zagreb, Croatia", "Affiliations": "University of Zagreb", "Reprint Addresses": "Forenbacher, I (corresponding author), Univ Zagreb, Fac Transport & Traff Sci, Dept Informat & Commun Traff, Vukeliceva 4, Zagreb, Croatia.", "Email Addresses": "ivan.forenbacher@fpz.hr", "Researcher Ids": "Jovovic, Ivan/ABI-8048-2020; Cvitić, Ivan/D-7437-2019; Cvitić, Ivan/IXN-3900-2023", "ORCIDs": "Jovovic, Ivan/0000-0003-1954-2689; Cvitić, Ivan/0000-0003-3728-6711; Cvitić, Ivan/0000-0003-3728-6711; Forenbacher, Ivan/0000-0002-9706-4750; Husnjak, Sinisa/0000-0002-6815-1687", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 87.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 43.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 44.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 2.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 25.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

That is, ULL entry is less effective in areas where ULL take up is already high. Further, there is evidence of a crowding out effect between ULL and inter-platform competition.

This paper proposes a method for assessing e-government implementation in developing countries to help them better identify problems and determine the appropriate responses to achieve their goals. Taking the design-reality gap perspective, the strategy, technology, organization, people, and environment (STOPE) framework is adopted and combined with the analytic hierarchy process (AHP). This method bridges the gap between theory and practice. The Indonesian e-procurement system is used as a case study to demonstrate the use of the proposed framework. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd.

It is argued that an ex ante contractual arrangement among residential-access Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and Content Providers (CP5), which builds on the complementarity between infrastructure and content, can promote the roll out of NGA. Indeed, one such contract brings down the portion of the investment cost borne by the ISPs (for a given cost of investment), increases end users' demand for improved connectivity and internalizes investment externalities. It is studied how a departure from network neutrality (NN) regulation of the Internet, allowing the ISP to negotiate with the CP a fee for (priority) delivery of content, affects firms' investment incentives. Using a simple model, it is shown that the ISP may invest more with than without NN, since the CP may have high bargaining power ex post (after NGA investment is sunk). Instead, the CP may be more willing to co-invest when NN is abandoned, either to evade high ex post fees (if the investment cost is low), or to foster NGA deployment (if the investment cost is high and the ISP has low bargaining power ex post).

New mobile technologies in the market offer enhanced voice capability, high-speed data service, and expanded service coverage. In India, the spread of second-generation mobile technologies global system for mobile (GSM) and code division multiple access (CDMA)-has led to a dramatic rise in teledensity, from approximately 1% in 1985 to 76.86% in 2011. This presents an interesting opportunity to study the competitive effects of the two technologies. In this paper, we analyze the effect of a new technology (CDMA) on an existing technology's (GSM) diffusion process and vice versa using an epidemic diffusion model that incorporates the competition effect. The results showed that the diffusion of CDMA was faster than that of GSM in India and CDMA diffusion had a positive effect on GSM. Further, despite competition, GSM continues to remain the dominant mobile technology in India. These findings offer useful insights into the diffusion process of mobile telephony in countries with multiple technology standards.

To maximize consumer surplus and profit of Internet service provider at the same time, it is necessary to investigate the consumer's willingness to pay for a given quality of service (QoS) level. This study investigates consumer preferences for Internet access services that provide different levels of QoS for different applications. We collect stated preference data via conjoint analysis method and estimate consumer preference using mixed logit model. Based on the estimation results, we find that consumers react most sensitively to changes in the quality of the web browsing service among internet access services and have the highest marginal willingness to pay for improvements in the quality of this service. On the other hand, marginal willingness to pays are relatively low for voice over IP (VolP) and IP television (IPTV), which are sensitive to latency time. However, if service users of VoIP/IPTV are separated from non-users or if it is assumed that there is no substitute for VoIP and IPTV, marginal willingness to pays of VoIP and IPTV increase. It implies that Internet service providers can profit by providing high QoS to VoIP and IPTV as the markets for VolP and IPTV services mature and user numbers increase. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd.

The results illustrate that a group focusing on an iOS platform achieves a high average efficiency with low variance within the group because the iOS ecosystem manages the content novelty and uncertainty risk in the selection process. This quality control enables a CP to maximize value once the CP enters the ecosystem. From the meta-frontier viewpoint, however, Android-group firms have a higher efficiency level than iOS-group firms. Android transfers risk management to CPs who can conduct additional trial and error, causing CPs to endure the tough selection process. This explains the low initial technical efficiency, but in the long term, this group has the potential to achieve high efficiency. In addition, the group providing content to both platforms was the most efficient group because of the economies of scale. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd.

Instead, each of the three firms studied has leveraged different core competencies to build complementary services in order to control the platform and lock-in users. Using platform theories around bottlenecks and gatekeeper roles, this paper explores these strategies and analyzes them in the broader context of the changing mobile industry landscape.

Standardization is regarded primarily as a technical issue, and hence receives only limited high-level policy support. However, technical standards contribute at least as much as patents to economic growth. As a key mechanism for the diffusion of technological knowledge and due to the dominant leadership by advanced countries in patenting, technical standards have emerged in latecomer countries as an alternative to patenting. However, latecomer countries and their firms have a set of capabilities and constraints that are fundamentally different from that of advanced countries and firms. This paper argues that latecomer countries should adopt assessment criteria that are more fitted with latecomer contexts which emphasize learning effects and building dynamic capabilities. The paper discusses current issues that are essential in understanding the rise of Asian countries in standardization. We also examine the critical role that patents play for standardization and argue that strategic patenting to generate rents from de facto industry standards can stifle latecomer economic development.

In Thailand, however, the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) has included the public pay phone as part of the Universal Service Obligation (USO) to ensure that all people in the country have reasonable access to a standard telephone service on request, and that payphones are accessible to all people on an equitable basis, wherever they live or carry on business. In spite of this, however, public pay phones and their revenue are also sharply declining due to the ever increasing encroachment of mobile phone technology. The researcher therefore undertook a study to empirically examine the key determinant factors for individual consumers using public payphones. A discrete choice model is employed together with the analysis of data from a 2011 national survey commissioned by the NBTC. Payphone usage is determined by the ownership of fixed phones, mobile phones and income which all play an important role with payphone being a necessary service for low-income people. Hence, NBTC should continue support through the USO fund and reassess the areas and groups of people who need this service in order to ensure that the USO policy is effectively and beneficially implemented.

Among them, this paper deals with information security standards. Although information security is often mentioned regarding China's ICI' standardization, it has been rarely examined per se. While most studies on China's ICT standardization focus on economic aspects (e.g. increased bargaining power) or the government's role, this paper draws on legal aspects. We select WAPI and ZUC for case studies, and examine their legal aspects, particularly from the perspective of WTO's TBT (technical barriers to trade) principles. We have found that China's standardization strategy becomes international-bound and, in fact, the manner in which the Chinese government handles standardization projects has become refined, flexible, and communicative with foreign stakeholders. We see that the changes are responses to the trade concerns raised by foreign stakeholders in various TOT Committee meetings and bilateral meetings. In addition, the Chinese government appears to become market-oriented even in the field of information security where it previously maintained a rigid stance on the ground of national security. This paper points out that the changes are attributed to growing external pressure from foreign governments and firms as well as to internal efforts toward innovation based on indigenous technology.

Even though the natural growth in the demand continues, the growth in traffic volumes can be limited by reducing unnecessary content copying and redundant transportation of the same content. Information-centric networking (ICN), featuring globally unique naming of content and optimized in-network caching, has been suggested as a potential future solution to significantly reduce unnecessary traffic, but its economic feasibility has not been widely studied. This paper evaluates the economic feasibility of ICN by using the two-sided markets theory to analyze four Internet content delivery models: the client-server model, content delivery network (CDN) model, peer-to-peer model and ICN model. Value networks and two-sided markets of these content delivery models are identified in the process. The results suggest that content providers can be willing to pay for the lower delay of content delivery in ICN, if ICN can solve its coordination problems related to cost-allocation, contracting, quality of service guarantees, and content usage statistics. These incentive challenges are essentially the same as in-network web caching originally faced and could not overcome. Internet access providers may also consider investing in the deployment of ICN due to reduced interconnection costs. However, the ICN model may require a revenue-creating business model to make it more attractive to Internet access providers than the CDN model that provides similar cost savings.

Historically, interference has been dealt with by heavy regulation under an administrative control regime. Over the last decades, a new approach has been put forward based on users' property rights, better able to cope with a rapidly changing technological environment. The issue of dealing with interference across bands, however, remains crucial: What obligations should be put on users so as to keep interference at a socially acceptable level? Also, given that some unwanted emissions are bound to occur, how can private parties be provided with the right incentives to invest in high-quality reception technology? This paper assesses how well different regulatory regimes can lead to efficient outcomes. It develops an economic model of spectrum interference and identifies the efficient solution. A regime where spectrum users have the power to enjoin intruding emissions beyond a predefined level (property rights protection) is compared with a regime where users are forced to bear with intruding emissions, but are entitled to economic compensation for the harm suffered (liability rules protection). The analysis suggests that different regimes may perform differently under different circumstances depending on the cause of interference and, critically, on whether the services are organised as an open- or a close-architecture system. This suggests that regulators should pay more attention to the specific features of the different bands, and that the appropriate spectrum management regime should be designed to recognise these differences.

Policy makers, regulators, and network operators are in need to understand the amount of capital required to address this gap and generate solid evidence upon which policy options and regulatory remedies should be discussed. To date, most studies aimed at estimating the investment associated with broadband deployment have consisted in ad-hoc approaches based on cost modelling from average estimations, which lack rigor in terms of considering differences in technologies, topography, and population density. In this paper we propose a general approach, based on the use of Unconditional Quantile Regressions (UQR), that addresses the heterogeneities that arise from considering differentiated coverage targets and investment required across the different deployment phases. Our tool was found to successfully account for the increasing investment to fulfil coverage targets. Moreover, it can be applicable to a wide range of countries, as robustness checks conducted provided evidence of being suitable, to some extent, for countries with more geographic challenges (e.g., mountains, forests, etc.). On this basis, the estimated UQR coefficients were also used to simulate 4G, 5G and FTTH expansion for scenarios of accelerated deployments in Latin America, by trading off cost and target network quality requirements. We simulated some coverage goals above the current trends for 2030, targeting on average 98% of the population covered by 4G, 80% of the population covered by 5G, and twothirds of households passed by FTTH. For the overall Latin America region, the extra capital needed above current investment trends accounts for $ 17,101 million over the period 2023-2029. Considering this challenge, potential regulatory remedies are considered.", "Addresses": "[Jung, Juan] Univ Pontificia Comillas, Fac Ciencias Econ & Empresariales, ICADE, Madrid, Spain; [Katz, Raul] Columbia Univ, Columbia Inst Teleinformat, New York, NY USA", "Affiliations": "Comillas Pontifical University; Columbia University", "Reprint Addresses": "Jung, J (corresponding author), Univ Pontificia Comillas, Fac Ciencias Econ & Empresariales, ICADE, Madrid, Spain.", "Email Addresses": "jfjung@icade.comillas.edu", "Researcher Ids": "Katz, Raul/HJH-8316-2023; Jung, Juan/AAA-6746-2020", "ORCIDs": "Katz, Raul/0000-0001-7729-7891; Jung, Juan/0000-0002-7996-0965", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 16.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 0.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 0.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 1.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 1.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

The study empirically verifies that the digital economy promotes the competitiveness of services exports, not only driving intensive growth of quantity margin and price margin but also enhances the expansion growth of category margin. Heterogeneity analysis reveals that the effect of the digital economy on improving low- and middle-income countries' services exports competitiveness and industries with low ICT intensity is more significant than that of high-income countries and high ICT-intensity industries.

These reports provide important information on the requests tech companies receive from state actors around the world and the ways they respond to these requests, including what content the companies remove from platforms they own. In theory, such reports shall make inner workings of companies more transparent, in particular with respect to their collaboration with state actors. They shall also allow users and external entities (e.g., researchers or watchdogs) to assess to what extent companies adhere to their own policies on user privacy and content moderation as well as to the principles formulated by global entities that advocate for the freedom of expression and privacy online such as the Global Network Initiative or Santa Clara Principles. However, whether the current state of transparency reports actually is conducive to meaningful transparency remains an open question. In this paper, we aim to address this through a critical comparative analysis of transparency reports using Santa Clara Principles 2.0 (SCP 2.0) as the main analytical framework. Specifically, we aim to make three contributions: first, we conduct a comparative analysis of the types of data disclosed by major tech companies and social media platforms in their transparency reports. The companies and platforms analyzed include Google (incl. YouTube), Microsoft (incl. its subsidiaries Github and LinkedIn), Apple, Meta (prev. Facebook), TikTok, Twitter, Snapchat, Pinterest, Reddit and Amazon (incl. subsidiary Twitch). Second, we evaluate to what degree the released information complies with SCP 2.0 and how it aligns with different purposes of transparency. Finally, we outline recommendations that could improve the level of transparency within the reports and beyond, and contextualize our recommendations with regard to the Digital Services Act (DSA) that received the final approval of the European Council in October 2022.", "Addresses": "[Urman, Aleksandra] Univ Zurich, Dept Informat, Social Comp Grp, Zurich, Switzerland; [Makhortykh, Mykola] Univ Bern, Inst Commun & Media Studies, Bern, Switzerland; [Urman, Aleksandra] Andreasstr 15, CH-8050 Zurich, Switzerland", "Affiliations": "University of Zurich; University of Bern", "Reprint Addresses": "Urman, A (corresponding author), Andreasstr 15, CH-8050 Zurich, Switzerland.", "Email Addresses": "urman@ifi.uzh.ch", "Researcher Ids": "Makhortykh, Mykola/S-4127-2019; Urman, Aleksandra/AAD-2217-2020", "ORCIDs": "Makhortykh, Mykola/0000-0001-7143-5317; Urman, Aleksandra/0000-0003-3332-9294", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 60.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 2.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 2.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 7.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 20.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

Therefore, scholars have studied the participation of civil society organizations, from the first phase of the World Summit on the Information Society through to the most recent Internet Governance Forum, to understand how they engage in and shape internet governance. However, this category is not well defined; therefore, it is not always clear whose interests are being advanced by civil society organizations. This study evaluates representation in civil society by examining the annual RightsCon conference as an ideal site of civil society engagement in internet governance in order to evaluate the potential of multistakeholderism to achieve the goals of democratization, representation, and inclusion. Through a meso-level analysis of discursive production at RightsCon that operationalizes a critical geopolitical rubric, this study finds that organizations that represent interests from the Global North and West are highly over-represented in three ways: in leading overall discourse, in claiming authority over global issues, and in driving specific topics such as misinformation, privacy, and internet shutdowns. These findings offer an empirical evaluation of global representation in internet governance, raising the stakes for further study about why and how the category of civil society meets expectations. Finally, conceptual implications are discussed, including evaluating earlier critiques of multistakeholderism as less democratizing in reality than in theory, affirming the analytic value of civil society discourse to policy research, and opening up questions about how a more precise understanding of civil society can contribute to multistakeholderism in internet governance.", "Addresses": "[Grover, Rohan] Univ Southern Calif, Annenberg Sch Commun & Journalism, 3502 Watt Way, Suite G6, Los Angeles, CA 90089 USA", "Affiliations": "University of Southern California", "Reprint Addresses": "Grover, R (corresponding author), Univ Southern Calif, Annenberg Sch Commun & Journalism, 3502 Watt Way, Suite G6, Los Angeles, CA 90089 USA.", "Email Addresses": "rohan.grover@usc.edu", "Researcher Ids": "Grover, Rohan/GSJ-1186-2022", "ORCIDs": "Grover, Rohan/0000-0002-9042-8259", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 35.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 1.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 1.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 9.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 19.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

However, the government has often been confronted with conflicts between diverse policy goals of spectrum auctions. A thin spectrum market, where only three incumbent MNOs bid for spectrum, has led to concerns that the government may fail to maximize revenues. Based on the past experiences in Korea, this paper examines the Korean government's choice of auction rules in the face of conflicting policy goals. This paper also recommends that the government implement the following regulatory reforms and consider the auction related measures to deepen its spectrum market or increase the number of bidders: (i) relaxation of foreign ownership restrictions, (ii) introduction of regional or site-specific spectrum licenses, and (iii) modification of auction formats. Spectrum markets tend to be thin in many countries, and the Korean experience may offer implications for those countries when they implement spectrum auctions.", "Addresses": "[Choi, Yong-Jae] Hankuk Univ Foreign Studies, Div Econ, 107 Imun Ro, Seoul 02450, South Korea", "Affiliations": "Hankuk University Foreign Studies", "Reprint Addresses": "Choi, YJ (corresponding author), Hankuk Univ Foreign Studies, Div Econ, 107 Imun Ro, Seoul 02450, South Korea.", "Email Addresses": "yjchoi@hufs.ac.kr", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "", "Funding Orgs": "Hankuk University of Foreign Studies Research Fund of 2022", "Funding Name Preferred": "Hankuk University of Foreign Studies Research Fund of 2022", "Funding Text": "This work was supported by Hankuk University of Foreign Studies Research Fund of 2022.", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 29.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 0.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 0.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 0.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 4.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

Solow hinted at the computer age and productivity statistics puzzle. While this puzzle persisted for many years, a growing literature has picked it up to examine the effect of ICTs on technical efficiency. However, this literature has focused mainly on quantity-based ICTs measures, which have come under severe criticism in recent times. We advance this literature in this paper by shifting the focus of analysis to quality-based ICTs measures; in this case, Internet quality. We also extend the literature by examining how the envisaged relationship between ICTs quality and technical efficiency is conditioned by a country's unique attributes. Our results show a significantly positive effect of ICTs quality on technical efficiency. We also find that the technical efficiency gains associated with ICTs quality are higher in skill-abundant countries, countries that engage more intensively in cross-border trade, have stronger contracting institutions, and are endowed with well-functioning and well-developed financial markets that ensure greater efficiency of capital allocation. We find a network effect in the nexus between ICTs quality and technical efficiency. That is, the marginal effect of ICTs quality on technical efficiency increases as the number of Internet users expands. We discuss the policy implications of our findings.", "Addresses": "[Ndubuisi, Gideon] Delft Univ Technol, Delft, Netherlands; [Ndubuisi, Gideon; Owusu, Solomon] German Inst Dev & Sustainabil, Bonn, Germany; [Ndubuisi, Gideon; Otioma, Chuks; Owusu, Solomon; Tetteh, Godsway Korku] Maastricht Univ, UNU MERIT, Maastricht, Netherlands; [Owusu, Solomon] Univ Oxford, Oxford Martin Sch, Oxford, England", "Affiliations": "Delft University of Technology; Maastricht University; University of Oxford", "Reprint Addresses": "Ndubuisi, G (corresponding author), Delft Univ Technol, Delft, Netherlands.;Ndubuisi, G (corresponding author), German Inst Dev & Sustainabil, Bonn, Germany.;Ndubuisi, G (corresponding author), Maastricht Univ, UNU MERIT, Maastricht, Netherlands.", "Email Addresses": "G.ON.Ndubuisi@tudelft.nl", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "Tetteh, Godsway Korku/0000-0003-0900-4633", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 74.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 6.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 6.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 0.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 6.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

The recent COVID-19 pandemic situation is undoubtedly very stressful, because all teaching and learning activities have been forced to move online. This is an international comparative study examining the effects of 21st century skills (e.g., digital and information literacy) on intention to use digital technologies for learning in Korea and in Finland. To conduct a rigorous comparison of the two countries, this paper conducts an empirical study on 194 Korean and 192 Finnish young people in their 20s and 30s. A theory-based conceptual model is devised to examine the differences between Korean and Finnish respondents' ICT usage using Structural equation modelling (SEM). The SEM results showed that information literacy has a direct effect on the intention to use digital technologies for learning in Korea and Finland. The higher information literacy is directly related to higher intention to use digital technology for learning with a small effect. The effect of digital literacy on intention to use technologies is fully mediated through the habit and performance expectancy with a medium effect. In addition, this study used multigroup analysis (MGA) to examine whether the impact of digital literacy and information literacy on intention to use digital technology for learning differed between Korean and Finnish respondents.

The purpose of this study was to explore the effects of ICT on socio-economic development in China by considering spatial effects. To understand the overall influence of ICT on socio-economic development, the study used principal component analysis (PCA) to establish composite ICT and socio-economic development indexes based on data collected from 31 provinces in the period 2009-2018. In applying the spatial panel data analysis, this article argues that a spatial Durbin model (SDM) with spatial fixed effects is the most suitable model for the purpose of making estimations. The results of the SDM suggest the socio-economic development of provinces contains strong spatial correlations. More specifically, although ICT plays an essential role in improving socio-economic development, the spatial spillover effects of ICT negatively affect the socio-economic development in adjacent areas, implying that a digital divide exists among China's provinces and that this digital gap can lead to unbalanced socio-economic development. The article concludes by outlining some practical policy recommendations for the advancement of ICT going forward to help alleviate the adverse effects of the digital divide and enhance the benefits of ICT-based socio-economic development.", "Addresses": "[Wang, Di; Zhou, Tao; Wang, Mengmeng] Chongqing Univ, Sch Management Sci & Real Estate, Chongqing 400044, Peoples R China; [Zhou, Tao] Chongqing Univ, Res Ctr Construct Econ & Management, Chongqing 400044, Peoples R China; [Lan, Feng] Xian Univ Architecture & Technol, Sch Management, Xian 710055, Peoples R China", "Affiliations": "Chongqing University; Chongqing University; Xi'an University of Architecture & Technology", "Reprint Addresses": "Zhou, T (corresponding author), Chongqing Univ, Sch Management Sci & Real Estate, Chongqing 400044, Peoples R China.", "Email Addresses": "diwang@cqu.edu.cn; taozhou@cqu.edu.cn; lanfeng@xauat.edu.cn; mengmengwang@cqu.edu.cn", "Researcher Ids": "Wang, Mengmeng/ABG-8454-2021", "ORCIDs": "", "Funding Orgs": "Chinese National Funding of Social Sciences [17BGL128]; Fundamental Research Funds for the Central Universities [2020CDJSK03ZH05]", "Funding Name Preferred": "Chinese National Funding of Social Sciences; Fundamental Research Funds for the Central Universities(Fundamental Research Funds for the Central Universities)", "Funding Text": "The authors thank the supports from the Chinese National Funding of Social Sciences (17BGL128) , and the Fundamental Research Funds for the Central Universities (2020CDJSK03ZH05) .", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 97.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 32.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 32.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 9.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 71.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

The main objective of this paper is to study the gaps that occur in the use of internet services by households in Spain during the period 2007-2019 and to become useful in the design of policies addressed to narrow specific digital divides. The data is a panel obtained from the ICT-H Survey on Households of the National Statistics Institute. This paper defines the gaps as the differences in the use of internet services across individual consumers. A selected group of twelve digital services are considered: e-commerce, e-selling, e-tourism, e-learning, e-health, e-banking, e-government, VoIP, chat, email, cloud services, and social networks. The second level digital gaps are analyzed in each service according to six relevant socio-demographic characteristics: gender, age, education, digital skills, population size, and income. A set of graphs show the evolution of the gaps. Gaps are narrowing in most dimensions and specific characteristics, but not in others such as age, education, and digital skills. The gaps reveal the evolution of digitization and in some cases of digital exclusion for specific groups. Specific knowledge about digital gaps is useful for policymakers, since closing the digital divide is an explicit policy goal in this country, as well as in other parts of Europe. Then, a dynamic panel data model was proposed and estimated using Arellano and Bond techniques. A dynamic/network effect was found, as well as other socio-demographic determinants. Finally, the paper contains conclusions, policy recommendations and an agenda for future research. The policy recommendations consist of digital education programs targeted at the most exposed groups such as the elderly, the less well-educated and people with lower digital skills.", "Addresses": "[Perez-Amaral, Teodosio; Valarezo, Angel; Lopez, Rafael] ICAE Inst Complutense Anal Econ, Madrid, Spain; [Perez-Amaral, Teodosio; Valarezo, Angel; Lopez, Rafael] UCM Univ Complutense Madrid, Madrid, Spain; [Garin-Munoz, Teresa] UNED Natl Univ Distance, Madrid, Spain", "Affiliations": "", "Reprint Addresses": "Valarezo, A (corresponding author), ICAE Inst Complutense Anal Econ, Madrid, Spain.", "Email Addresses": "angel.valarezo.unda@ucm.es", "Researcher Ids": "LOPEZ, RAFAEL/AAE-1486-2020; Valarezo-Unda, Angel/AAA-2344-2019; Garín-Muñoz, Teresa/K-5118-2014", "ORCIDs": "LOPEZ, RAFAEL/0000-0002-3320-2253; Valarezo-Unda, Angel/0000-0001-8315-8134; Garín-Muñoz, Teresa/0000-0001-6300-1375", "Funding Orgs": "Autonomous Community of Madrid, Spain [H2019/HUM-5859]; National RD Plan [PID 2019-107161 GB-C32]", "Funding Name Preferred": "Autonomous Community of Madrid, Spain; National RD Plan", "Funding Text": "The collaboration of INE is gratefully acknowledged.

Such policies form part of the increasing digitalisation of the economy and wider society. This is an area where governments are also facing challenges in their efforts to maximise the efficiency and effectiveness of their policies. The paper sheds light on the impact that the transition towards digital has had on demand-side policies supporting the adoption of broadband and digital technologies by SMEs, and draws out the implications for policy, using a case study of Wales in the UK over a ten-year period. It shows that digitalisation has seen policy mechanisms and messages evolving as policy makers have created a more integrated and multi-channel approach to the delivery of advisory support to SMEs, but that the emergence of multiple types of actors (large digital platform businesses) and ongoing digitalisation are adding complexity to policies and their interaction with other forms of public and private business support.", "Addresses": "[Henderson, Dylan] Cardiff Business Sch, Cardiff, Wales", "Affiliations": "Cardiff University", "Reprint Addresses": "Henderson, D (corresponding author), Cardiff Business Sch, Cardiff, Wales.", "Email Addresses": "hendersond3@cardiff.ac.uk", "Researcher Ids": "Henderson, Dylan/A-4654-2017", "ORCIDs": "Henderson, Dylan/0000-0002-1466-1315", "Funding Orgs": "Welsh Government Superfast Broadband Business Exploitation Programme - European Regional Development Funds", "Funding Name Preferred": "Welsh Government Superfast Broadband Business Exploitation Programme - European Regional Development Funds", "Funding Text": "This research was supported by the Welsh Government Superfast Broadband Business Exploitation Programme, part-funded by European Regional Development Funds.", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 84.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 14.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 14.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 14.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 87.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

The relationship with scale efficiency, which is positive in HICs is irrelevant in MICs. Capital intensity has insignificant influence on managerial effectiveness in the two clusters of countries, however, it undermines technical efficiency in HICs and scale efficiency in MICs. Gross national income per capita is inconsequential to scale enhancement. However, it contributes to technical efficiency in the two categories of countries and drives managerial performance in HICs. Efficiency performances in HICs and MICs are insensitive to the industry's concentration level. Inflation has insignificant influence on scale efficiency in HICs and MICs. Although, it drives technical efficiency and managerial performance in MICs, the influence in HICs is immaterial.

In particular, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) subverted extant NN rules in the US and if the European Union (EU) decides to follow a similar deregulatory path in the future it could change the way telecommunications providers on both sides of the Atlantic lay down their optical-fibre network infrastructure investment plans. For instance, if traffic prioritization is allowed then diversification of revenue sources can be achieved by charging customers for privileged data delivery to their premises. Currently, NGANs roll-out throughout EU is an ongoing process in a setting whereby access regulation in the form of network element unbundling is already imposed. As a result, these legal developments form a new context within which it makes sense to assess the role of NGANs wholesale access pricing in tandem with the degree of commitment to NN rules so as to i) determine their combinatorial impact on private telecommunications operators' financial figures and ii) capture their competitive interactions. Towards this end, an important aspect of particular value to market players (i.e. incumbents and competitive providers - CPs), and policy makers (i.e. National Regulatory Authorities - NRAs) that this article aims to examine is how to employ the option-game (OG) analysis, that reflects the intersection of game theory (GT) and real options (ROs), to model the competitive interactions between participants in a particular competition game set-up by means of deriving possible Nash-equilibrium (NE) outcomes within a regulatory setting part of which is the commitment or non-commitment to the NN principle.

The empirical evidence is based on the Generalised Method of Moments. The study finds that both internet penetration and mobile phone penetration overwhelmingly modulate FDI to induce overall positive net effects on all three economic growth dynamics. Moreover, the positive net effects are consistently more apparent in internet-centric regressions compared to mobile phone-oriented specifications. In the light of negative interactive effects, net effects are decomposed to provide thresholds at which ICT policy variables should be complemented with other policy initiatives in order to engender favourable outcomes on economic growth dynamics.

Outmoded distinctions between information and telecommunications services exacerbate the situation because a good deal of regulatory history is built on them. As a potential way forward toward reliance on theoretically-sound, evidence-based decision-making, the authors recommend moving away from the silo mentality of focusing on whether particular services are information services or telecommunications services (e.g., Broadband Internet Access Service (BIAS)) toward a focus on packet transmission across broadband networks. Such an approach would facilitate fresh perspectives with the objective of more collaborative, less confrontational regulatory decision-making.", "Addresses": "[Glass, Victor] Rutgers State Univ, Ctr Res Regulated Ind, Newark, NJ 07102 USA; [Tardiff, Timothy] Adv Analyt Consulting Grp, 112 Water St, Boston, MA 02109 USA", "Affiliations": "Rutgers University System; Rutgers University Newark; Rutgers University New Brunswick", "Reprint Addresses": "Glass, V (corresponding author), Rutgers State Univ, Ctr Res Regulated Ind, Newark, NJ 07102 USA.", "Email Addresses": "vglass@business.rutgers.edu; timtardiff@aacg.com", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 19.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 6.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 6.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 0.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 2.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

The second generation, GSM, is considered the leading example, reaching its peak of deployment in 2015 with 3.83 billion subscribers served by over 700 operators in 219 countries and territories. With 5G rapidly shaping up in the R&D and standardization environments, and a call for leadership with 5G in Europe by policy makers, it is timely to investigate what lessons can be learned from the success of 2G that can be applied to 5G. More broadly, this calls for research into the commonalities and differences between successive generations of mobile technology, their introduction and the market adoption that followed. This also calls for an investigation into the possibility of multiple futures of 5G and how that impacts the opportunity for leadership. As one future may be more desirable than the other, depending on the perspective of the actor involved, a policy debate will be required to determine the most desirable future. As well as a discussion of the policy and regulatory actions required to enable a particular future. Hence, the two-part research question being addressed in this paper is: What explains the success of 2G-GSM and how can it be applied to create success with 5G in the European Union? To respond to the research question this paper first identifies the leadership lessons to be drawn from the success of 2G-GSM in relation to its successors 3G and 4G. Secondly, the contribution describes two stylized images of possible futures of 5G, called Evolution and Revolution, as input to the policy debate on the options for leadership with 5G. These images reflect two extremes in terms of possible futures of 5G. Evolution follows the pattern of previous generations and current trends. Revolution represents a clear break with these trends and a path towards leadership with 5G, as it exploits the opportunities of standardized APIs for service creation, being enabled by network virtualization as an architectural foundation of 5G. These open and uniformly applied APIs allow the market entry of a multitude of virtual mobile network operators (VMNOs) serving particular industry verticals or economic sectors with tailored feature sets and qualities of services. They allow a market momentum to be built that constitutes leadership with 5G in Europe.", "Addresses": "[Lemstra, Wolter] Delft Univ Technol, Delft, Netherlands; [Lemstra, Wolter] Nyenrode Business Univ, Straatweg 25, NL-3621 BG Breukelen, Netherlands", "Affiliations": "Delft University of Technology; Nyenrode Business University", "Reprint Addresses": "Lemstra, W (corresponding author), Nyenrode Business Univ, Straatweg 25, NL-3621 BG Breukelen, Netherlands.", "Email Addresses": "w.lemstra@planet.nl", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "", "Funding Orgs": "CERRE; Centre on Regulation for Europe, Brussels", "Funding Name Preferred": "CERRE; Centre on Regulation for Europe, Brussels", "Funding Text": "The research underlying this paper was financially supported by CERRE, the Centre on Regulation for Europe, Brussels.", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 114.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 31.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 31.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 3.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 32.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

First, ASEAN experienced a faster pace of convergence, compared to the rest of the world, in level of ICT diffusion over the past 10 years. Second, all ASEAN countries, including Singapore the leading player, face increasing challenges in competing with income-level peers on ICT diffusion performance. ASEAN is a global hub of ICT hardware production and a fast-growing center of ICT services exports. In terms of revealed comparative advantage, ASEAN as an economy is strong in ICT hardware but remains weak in ICT services.

In this paper, we survey the academic literature on data caps and analyze the relationship between the characteristics of each paper's model or data and the paper's results. We find that model or data assumptions about service differentiation, purpose of the data cap, and amount of competition strongly influence each paper's results. Consequently, conclusions about the effect of data caps are often limited to certain types of service providers (fixed or mobile) and/or to certain types of data caps (heavy-users or profit-maximizing). We find that most proponents' claims about data caps in fixed broadband service are incorrect, and that most proponents' claims about data caps in mobile broadband service are likely to be correct if and only if data caps increase competition. We also discuss how data caps may be evaluated under the FCC's 2015 Open Internet Order. We find that heavy-users caps on mobile broadband service are likely to satisfy the Order's rules, that profit maximizing caps on mobile broadband service may or may not satisfy the rules, and that caps on fixed broadband service are unlikely to satisfy the rules.", "Addresses": "[Jordan, Scott] Univ Calif Irvine, Dept Comp Sci, 3019 Bren Hall, Irvine, CA 92697 USA", "Affiliations": "University of California System; University of California Irvine", "Reprint Addresses": "Jordan, S (corresponding author), Univ Calif Irvine, Dept Comp Sci, 3019 Bren Hall, Irvine, CA 92697 USA.", "Email Addresses": "sjordan@uci.edu", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "", "Funding Orgs": "National Science Foundation [1216023]; Direct For Computer & Info Scie & Enginr [1216023] Funding Source: National Science Foundation; Division of Computing and Communication Foundations [1216023] Funding Source: National Science Foundation", "Funding Name Preferred": "National Science Foundation(National Science Foundation (NSF)); Direct For Computer & Info Scie & Enginr(National Science Foundation (NSF)NSF - Directorate for Computer & Information Science & Engineering (CISE)); Division of Computing and Communication Foundations(National Science Foundation (NSF)NSF - Directorate for Computer & Information Science & Engineering (CISE))", "Funding Text": "This work was funded by the National Science Foundation (1216023).", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 28.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 4.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 4.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 1.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 5.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

To address a need for adoption studies focused on new ventures, which differ from SMEs in terms of organizational stage and number of employees, this study analyzes survey data from entrepreneurs to understand factors that influence the adoption of multiple Internet and social media platforms, and the role of business incubation facilities in providing information technology assistance to these ventures. Regression analysis of survey data reveal that prior entrepreneurial experience was the most important factor in explaining a diverse number of Internet application and social media use. This finding likely stems from differences in cognitive frameworks between novice and experienced entrepreneurs, which impacts their ability to recognize opportunities and respond to technological change. The location of a new venture within a business incubation facility did not help in the diverse use of Internet applications. This result did vary by gender as model results highlighted that women in business incubation facilities were more likely to use a diversity of Internet applications than those not located in these facilities. These findings point to policy implications regarding the implementation of technology training programs for female entrepreneurs, and digital awareness/training for novice entrepreneurs.", "Addresses": "[Mack, Elizabeth A.] Michigan State Univ, Dept Geog, E Lansing, MI 48824 USA; [Marie-Pierre, Lisa; Redican, Kyle] Michigan State Univ, E Lansing, MI 48824 USA", "Affiliations": "Michigan State University; Michigan State University", "Reprint Addresses": "Mack, EA (corresponding author), Michigan State Univ, Dept Geog, E Lansing, MI 48824 USA.", "Email Addresses": "emack@msu.edu; pierreli@msu.edu; redicank@msu.edu", "Researcher Ids": "黄, 荣 昌/HGA-6762-2022", "ORCIDs": "", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 62.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 52.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 59.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 5.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 129.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

WAPECS aimed to introduce more flexibility into the European spectrum management framework by allowing technology and service neutrality. Internationally, the European Conference of Postal and Telecommunications Administrations (CEPT) have been keen to introduce more flexibility into the international service allocation framework. One of the main findings of this paper is the identification of different negative perceptions and disagreement about WAPECS among industry and regulatory stake-holders. Moreover, it is shown that concerns over WAPECS include that the flexibility associated with it may contradict with spectrum use efficiency and that the responsibility of resolving interference issues moves from the regulator to operators. The assessment of the influence of WAPECS on the market shows that while the concept was aimed mainly towards removing the spectrum usage restriction for industry, they have not appreciated this mainly due to the high cost and uncertainty associated with flexibility. On the other hand, several positive impacts of WAPECS are revealed including removing technology designation from CEPT decisions. The paper shows also that the international Radio Regulations (RR) can, to a certain extent, accommodate WAPECS. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd.

To do so, we propose to adopt the framework of social justice to their governance by describing the philosophy of utilitarianism and its effect on media policy in the twentieth century and preferring the competing twentieth century philosophies of John Rawls and Amartya Sen as the theoretical bases for a new governance framework of social media.

User behavior is imperfect and, when adopting a platform, users only take prominent software into account. We show that prominent software exhibits higher piracy rates than non-prominent software. However, contrary to intuition, this does not necessarily mean that prominent software developers benefit more from increased software protection. Indeed, we show that prominent developers may lose out whereas non-prominent developers may gain from better software protection. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd.

According to the Recommendation, in order to reconcile investment and competition, wholesale prices should have nonlinear characteristics and only partly vary by the number of accesses. It demonstrates that a cost standard for the economic replicability test, which implies fully fixed and variable cost recovery for the access seeker, including the total wholesale price, would be incompatible with the economics of NGA networks and that such a test would deter NGA investment. Therefore, the cost standard should include only the variable part of the wholesale price. However, this paper underlines that during a transition phase, until competitors have secured access to NGA infrastructure, a second temporary test called the competition migration test should be added to ensure incumbent NGA retail prices do not foreclose efficient copper-based entrants. The two proposed tests surpass the limits of the ladder of investment theory by including the business migration effect developed by Bourreau, Cambini, and Dogan (2012). (C) 2015 The Authors.

At the present, this kind of data is collected and stored by telecom operators infrastructures mainly for billing reasons, yet it represents a major source of information in the study of human mobility. In this paper, we propose an analytical process aimed at extracting interconnections between different areas of the city that emerge from highly correlated temporal variations of population local densities. To accomplish this objective, we propose a process based on two analytical tools: (i) a method to estimate the presence of people in different geographical areas; and (ii) a method to extract time- and space-constrained sequential patterns capable to capture correlations among geographical areas in terms of significant co-variations of the estimated presence. The methods are presented and combined in order to deal with two real scenarios of different spatial scale: the Paris Region and the whole France. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd.

Simulations show that each (fixed or mobile) termination rate has a positive effect on the take-up of the corresponding service, via the waterbed effect, and lowers subscriptions to the other service, via a cost effect The prevailing asymmetric regulation, with very low fixed and higher mobile termination rates, tends to have implemented the optimal fee structure. However, the interests of the mobile operators and of the different customer groups did not coincide, and this fee structure may have reduced overall market participation. (c) 2014 Elsevier Ltd.

The relevant policies in China now support indigenous innovation, particularly in the information and communication technologies industry by using standards, encourage domestic firms to patent their standard-related technologies, and promote innovation-oriented inter-firm alliances. The three cases examined illustrate the challenges that the Chinese government faces in implementing the policies. Most of all, while the government has actively promoted indigenous innovation as a latecomer strategy for global standardization, there are possibilities of clash with the international norms for free competition and economic liberalization which China is supposed to comply with. There are also oppositions from those domestic firms that mainly export products compliant with the international standards set by advanced countries, and from local authorities that support those firms. The demands for international compliance are often strengthened by multinationals importing products compliant with the international standards. These clashes and oppositions give a dilemma to the policy makers who want to push the standardization strategy based on indigenous innovation. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd.

This paper describes and quantifies the economic and technical challenges associated with deepening wireless networks to meet this growing demand. Methods of capacity expansion divide into three general categories: the deployment of more radio spectrum; more intensive geographic reuse of spectrum; and increasing the throughput capacity of each MHz of spectrum within a given geographic area. The paper describes these several basic methods to deepen mobile wireless capacity. It goes on to measure the contribution of each of these methods to historical capacity growth within U.S. networks. The paper then describes the capabilities of 4G LTE wireless technology, and further innovations off of it, to further improve network capacity. These capacity expansion capabilities of LTE-Advanced along with traditional spectrum reuse are quantified and compared to forecasts of future demand to evaluate the ability of U.S. networks to match future demand. Without significantly increasing current spectrum allocations by 560 MHz over the 2014-2022 period, the presented model suggests that U.S. wireless capacity expansion will be inadequate to accommodate expected demand growth. This conclusion is in contrast to claims that the U.S. faces no spectrum shortage. (C) 2013 The Author. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

The literature emphasizes its capacity for both increasing productivity and generating new sources of income and wealth (Colecchia & Schreyer, 2002; Jorgenson & Stiroh, 1999 among others). Traditionally studies on the ICT sector have focused on the analysis of its economic impact, but not on its capacity as a bridge for information and knowledge flows across the economic network. Following Burt's approach (1992) on structural holes, the organization of the economic network defines where and for whom new opportunities lie. The structural hole methodology allows to analyze the capacity of the ICT sector as an enabler of technological diffusion and innovation. The results show that the European ICT sector not only is important for its intermediary role in the flow of information across the economic network, but also for its low level of dependency on other sectors.

Based on an overview of MI measurement approaches and units evidence on the development of the average MI data volume generated per subscriber over the last years is summarized. Interindividual variance in MI usage was found to be very large. This raises the question which factors contribute to explaining MI usage differences. A qualitative review and a meta-analysis of correlations between 22 variables grouped into four categories (country, personal user characteristics, MI attribute perceptions/behavioral intentions and factual use conditions) on the one side and MI usage criteria on the other were carried out. Enjoyment, behavioral intention to use MI, educational level, subscription of a flat rate and ease of use turned out to be the five antecedents with the largest sample size- and measurement error-corrected average correlations (r) over left arrow (a) with MI usage criteria. Moderator analysis indicated that the approach to measuring MI usage behaviors (subjective versus objective) and geographic origin of a sample (Asia versus Europe/USA) significantly altered relationships between a number of predictors and MI usage. Specifically, mono-method work which measures both explanatory factors and MI usage in one questionnaire was prone to overestimate relationships between independent study variables and self-reports of MI usage. The review derives open research issues in three territories, namely measurement of MI usage, choice of MI usage determinants as well as study sampling and design. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd.

The optimal two-part tariffs that the regulator should set under the following three regulatory rules are derived: no flexibility (the monopolist only offers the regulated plan), partial flexibility (the monopolist can offer alternative plans, but these and the regulated one must be available to all customers), and full flexibility (the regulated plan must be available to all customers, but the alternative ones could be offered to specific clients). The solutions under the three schemes are characterized, and they provide an unambiguous ranking of regulatory rules: total flexibility is weakly better than partial flexibility, and partial flexibility is strictly better than no flexibility. As the regulatory scheme becomes more flexible, the optimally regulated two-part tariff increases its fixed component and decreases the variable one. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd.

In this study, it is sought to investigate the extent to which the mobile phone would replace or reinforce teens' traditional Internet use through computers. Surveys were conducted on 1875 youths between 12 to 17 years old in 5 digital cities in East Asia: Hong Kong, Seoul, Singapore, Taipei, and Tokyo. The findings profile a digital generation that is highly connected in the 21st century. Ninety percent of all respondents used the Internet. Almost 90% of the teens in this study used the mobile phone, and two-thirds of them ever surfed the Web via their mobile devices. Through a factor analysis, three dimensions of teens' use of mobile Internet were identified, namely, task-based activities, information seeking and communication activities, and recreational activities. In general, the teens tend to use the mobile phone for recreation and entertainment purposes, especially playing games and listening to music. They are less likely to use the mobile phone for more sophisticated purposes, such as petitioning, voting, or shopping. Drawing upon the niche theory, the patterns between teens' mobile Internet and PC Internet use were further compared. Our analysis shows that mobile Internet primarily serves as an extension of teens' Internet activities via PC, rather than as a replacement. Such positive relationships are quadratic and non-linear.

Although many studies have identified the determinants of broadband adoption, this study re-examines the determinants by applying Arellano-Bond GMM dynamic panel data estimation with more complete panel data for OECD countries. The estimation can not only closely capture the dynamics of broadband diffusion but also solve an endogeneity problem existing in the estimations of previous studies. The estimation results indicate that content is also a significant factor, in addition to previous broadband penetration and platform competition, as commonly identified in previous studies. This study further examines and compares determinants in different stages segmented by adopter categories proposed by Rogers. The results reveal different determinants in different stages. The key determinants are income, education, and content in the innovator and early adopter stage; platform competition and previous broadband penetration in the early majority stage; and broadband price in the late majority and laggard stage. Governments should thus devise and implement appropriate strategies for the major potential adopters in each stage instead of adopting a one-size-fits-all strategy. The results of this study provide a valuable reference for countries in early stages of broadband development or for those planning or reviewing their strategies. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

Among several challenges, the establishment of new base station sites becomes challenging and expensive. This study proposes and analyzes critical aspects of a business case where a mobile operator offloads its mobile LTE network by deploying cognitive femtocells. When aided by a sensor network the cognitive femtocell will be able to use frequencies other than the mobile network and hence increase its power to cover outdoor areas and neighbour buildings. This cognitive femtocell strategy will be compared with an alternative strategy where an operator deploys conventional femtocells and has to build additional base stations to meet the traffic demands. The business case analysis illustrates that there is a potential for cost savings when offloading the mobile network with cognitive femtocells when compared to the alternative strategy. It must be emphasized that the studied concept is innovative and that the business case period starts in 2017, hence, parameter assumptions are uncertain. Therefore, as the most important message of this work, sensitivity analysis is used to reveal the most critical aspects of the cognitive femtocell business case. It is found that the most critical parameters regarding the cognitive femtocell are the price for backhauling, the number of users supported and the coverage. Furthermore, an optimal coverage radius for the cognitive femtocell for lowest possible costs is found. Costs related to the fixed sensor network are found to be less critical since sensors are embedded in the cognitive femtocells. Sensitivity analysis is also presented for spectral efficiency, cognitive and conventional femtocell offloading gain, sensor density and price, customer density and price for base station site establishment.

The only change to standard regulatory practice is that each time the regulated firm invests, the amount added to its rate base is the product of its capital expenditure and a multiplier, greater than one, that captures the reduction in value of the unregulated firm's growth options that occurs whenever the firm invests. The regulated firm is allowed to earn a rate of return equal to its weighted-average cost of capital, applied to this rate base.

The degree of openness to trade in telecommunications is represented by a carefully constructed index that reflects a country's trade and investment policy in terms of market access, national treatment and regulatory principles. One interesting finding from the empirical analysis is that the effects of trade liberalization depend on the risk rating of a country. In countries with relatively high risk ratings liberalization reduces investment in telecommunications. (c) 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

Reasons are that flat rates protect against unexpectedly high costs (insurance effect), are more likely to be chosen if actual usage is overestimated (overestimation effect), and prevent any disutility that is associated with the immediate perception of marg(i)nal costs (taximeter effect). This study complements the literature on tariff biases by highlighting that a lack of tariff flexibility is a major impediment to choosing a flat rate: empirical support for this flexibility effect is found, while, at the same time, the insurance and overestimation effect that run in favor of flat rates are confirmed. Finally, the managerial implications of the findings for the introduction of the new cost cap tariff are discussed. The hybrid cost cap tariff can combine the flexibility and the insurance property, and may, therefore, exert a cost cap bias on consumers. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd.

Findings of this research suggest that (1) more information about quality leads to higher total surplus and higher consumer surplus; (2) quality provided by firms increases with the level of transparency; and (3) quality and efficiency are marginally higher when full information about quality is only available to some consumers, than when all consumers have imperfect information about quality.

The study is based on 181 countries for the period 2002-2020. The results indicate an initial increase in CO2 emissions for a country at an average emission level once mobile broadband is introduced. Possible explanations might be initial investment in network infrastructure and increased consumption of electricity. However, on average for the period 2002-2020 the continuous relationship between mobile broadband (defined as speeds of at least 256 kb/s) and CO2 is significantly negative in a statistical sense, i.e. emissions at a country level significantly reduce as mobile broadband penetration increase. Based on a two-stage model and controlling for additional independent variables (i.e. GDP per capita, population density, the share of electricity consumption that comes from fossil fuel, industry as a share of GDP, a regulation index, fixed broadband penetration, working age population as a share of total population and a human capital index), we conclude that on average a 10 percentage points increase in relative mobile broadband penetration causes a 7 percent reduction of CO2 emissions per capita (given that the instrumental variable strategy, as assumed, identifies causal effects). Thus, the results shows that investments in mobile infrastructure over longer periods of time can contribute to mitigating climate change. However, the relationship is only significant for high-income countries (i.e. countries with a GNI of $4096 or above).

Specifically, with respect to the determination of violations, the E.U. jurisprudence endorses deontological ethics and the U.S. jurisprudence a kind of universal egoism while the core FRT legislation in China valorizes utilitarianism.

Then, it becomes crucial to understand adoption patterns to inform policies aimed at bridging the grey digital divide. Using microdata from a representative sample of the Spanish population in 2015, discrete choice modelling is employed to explore the take-up of both standard and new ICT-based health monitoring devices. Findings indicate that there is no grey digital divide for wearable ICT; however, such a gap appears for apps.

While total tax revenue non-resource as a percentage of GDP and tax revenue as a percentage of GDP are used to proxy for tax revenue mobilization, three ICT measures are used, namely; the telephone penetration rate, the mobile phone penetration rate and internet penetration rate. To perform the analysis, we adopt the Generalized Method of Moments (GMM). The empirical findings are as follows. First, while the calculated net impacts are sub-stantially positive, the corresponding marginal ICT effects utilized for calculating net effects are extremely negative. Second, an extensive study is carried out to determine complementing policy thresholds. These thresholds include: 21.959 (per 100 people) telephone penetration for total income from tax revenue; 16.333 (per 100 people) internet penetration for total income from tax; 21.125 internet penetration (per 100 people) for the income from the tax on non-resource income.

However, current 5G technology reports predominately draw on patent data to identify technology developing organizations, ignoring the importance of publications and standard contributions. Therefore, we identify 5G technology developing organizations in publishing, patenting, and standardization and compile a unique dataset to identify leading organizations per category and to identify possible correlations and interdependencies. We find that for companies offering fair, reasonable, and nondiscriminatory (FRAND) licensing conditions related to standard-essential patents, their publication, patent, and standard contribution counts highly correlate. Our findings suggest that 5G technology developing companies holding a high number of patents declared to 5G manage the three contributing factors of publishing, patenting, and standardization to optimize their impact on 5G technology development. Furthermore, we show that patenting and standardization are dominated by a few large companies from the United States, China, Korea, Japan, Finland, and Sweden, while publishing is much more globally distributed and not as concentrated. Our research suggests that scientific findings can be more easily published via scientific journals and that barriers might hinder filing patents and participating in standardization committees focusing on 5G, which only large companies overcome.", "Addresses": "[Buggenhagen, Magnus] IPlytics GmbH, Transistor Aufgang C, Ohlauer Str 43, D-10999 Berlin, Germany; [Buggenhagen, Magnus; Blind, Knut] Tech Univ Berlin, Chair Innovat Econ, Str 17 Juni 135, D-10623 Berlin, Germany; [Buggenhagen, Magnus] Itf Innovat Transfer & Forschungsinst Schwerin eV, Schwerin, Germany; [Blind, Knut] Fraunhofer Inst Syst & Innovat Res, Breslauer Str 48, D-76139 Karlsruhe, Germany", "Affiliations": "Technical University of Berlin; Fraunhofer Gesellschaft", "Reprint Addresses": "Buggenhagen, M (corresponding author), IPlytics GmbH, Transistor Aufgang C, Ohlauer Str 43, D-10999 Berlin, Germany.", "Email Addresses": "buggenhagen@iplytics.com", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "Blind, Knut/0000-0002-6510-122X", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 98.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 9.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 9.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 12.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 52.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

Using a dataset of more than 4700 residential survey responses from southern Ontario, Canada, we assess the disparity in pricing and willingness to pay for broadband across rural and urban households. Our results suggest that rural users face higher installation and monthly fees while receiving a significantly inferior quality of service than their urban counterparts. Demand among rural users for improved broadband access is also higher than for urban users. These results may strengthen the business case for expanding broadband services into rural areas and/or supporting justification for public subsidization. Our analysis also suggests higher economic net benefits from prioritizing majority access at current federal service objectives rather than investing in a small number of users to receive higher quality broadband.", "Addresses": "[Worden, David] Univ Guelph, Sch Environm Design & Rural Dev, Reg & Rural Broadband R2B2 Project, Guelph, ON, Canada; [Hambly, Helen] Univ Guelph, Sch Environm Design & Rural Dev, Guelph, ON, Canada", "Affiliations": "University of Guelph; University of Guelph", "Reprint Addresses": "Worden, D (corresponding author), Univ Guelph, Sch Environm Design & Rural Dev, Reg & Rural Broadband R2B2 Project, Guelph, ON, Canada.", "Email Addresses": "wordend@uoguelph.ca", "Researcher Ids": "Hambly, H./ISA-3105-2023", "ORCIDs": "Hambly, H./0000-0002-9887-4245; Worden, David/0000-0002-4147-1453", "Funding Orgs": "SWIFT Inc.; Regional Municipality of Durham; City of Hamilton; [R2B2]", "Funding Name Preferred": "SWIFT Inc.; Regional Municipality of Durham; City of Hamilton;", "Funding Text": "This article was prepared by researchers in the Regional and Rural Broadband (R2B2) project at the University of Guelph, Canada who accept all errors and omissions in this paper.

First, it aims to contribute to the growing body of literature on multistakeholderism, notably by furthering debates on the role of civil society in institutions of global governance (in this instance, the IGF). Second, we aim to contribute to the debates on the future of the IGF(+), by digging into the civil society stakeholder group to try to understand who is actually present in the discussions. By creating a typology of the 2830 Civil Society Organisations that have participated in IGFs between 2006 and 2019, we provide nuance to the heterogeneity of civil society in Internet Governance debates.

Laws were quoted as arguments by participants trying to settle disagreements. They influenced certain - but not all - sections of the proposed Do Not Track specifications.

Most surveys on the reasons for non-adoption are, however, inherently ambiguous and do not permit useful inferences because the typical questions asked cannot distinguish between relevance or price as the cause of non adoption.

The regulatory framework, particularly that adopted in EU member states, reflected this pattern of relatively homogeneous deployment achieved, in part, by decades of cross-subsidised pricing and universal service goals. Perhaps because of this legacy, telecommunications regulators have often adopted the presumption that relevant markets are national in character, unless proven otherwise Although geographically-variegated regulatory remedies have been permitted (even in the face of allegedly national relevant markets) and adopted in many member states, many regulators have never done so, and overly cautious thresholds for permitting geographically based forbearance suggest a continued bias towards presuming national markets and remedies. We find that this presumption of uniformity and the tendency to aggregate geographic markets together is not supported by first principles of antitrust analysis, although there may have been strong practical reasons to apply this presumption in the past circumstances of the telecommunications and broadband industries. On the ground, however, there has arguably never been as much heterogeneity across geographies and across technological solutions that provide effective ultra-fast broadband speeds. Both technological (i.e., product market) and geographic heterogeneity are likely to increase with the advent of mobile 5G networks. With their deployment, a cautious regulatory stance towards geographic variation and a cautious regulatory stance towards inter-technology or inter-modal competition may result in regulation that could exceed what is required to ensure effective competition and could instead distort the incentives to enter of facilities-based actors. This may also result in higher-cost and inefficient investment. A more geographically varied and technologically agnostic regulatory framework may satisfy the principle of proportionate and focused regulation-with the possibility that the locus of regulation shifts from the access network to bottleneck facilities such as fibre, ducts and poles. This discussion is especially germane when one considers the highly speculative nature of forecasts and projections about future demand, and the competing claims of proponents of 5G and fibre. While there is some scepticism about the performance of mobile networks, we note that pure mobile and fixed 5G services may have synergies in deployment, and that the idea of competing with residential broadband services is a core strategy of very influential large-scale industry actors. In terms of a future research agenda, regulatory decisions could benefit from much more research into the relationship between domestic and global bandwidth constraints and their influence on development of software and application, as well as much more quantitative research by academics on the drivers of bandwidth demand. The risks associated with promoting investment that results in large-scale wasted resources should also be central to the regulatory agenda.", "Addresses": "[Dasgupta, Kalyan; Gibson, Theo; Williams, Mark] Berkeley Res Grp, Atlanta, GA 30339 USA", "Affiliations": "", "Reprint Addresses": "Dasgupta, K (corresponding author), Berkeley Res Grp, Atlanta, GA 30339 USA.", "Email Addresses": "KDasgupta@thinkbrg.com", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "Gibson, Theo/0000-0003-3222-735X", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 42.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 3.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 3.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 1.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 9.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

TV-VOD is therefore of strategic importance to providers in terms of their current sales share and future growth. Focusing on the time-shift characteristics of TV-VOD and the serial complementarity of television programs, this study examines how various factors such as the characteristics of paid vs. free VOD services, and the average and variance of broadcast ratings affect VOD viewing patterns. An empirical analysis was conducted using data for TV-VODs of all television programs broadcast by major Korean broadcasters in 2015. The key findings are as follows: (1) There is an inverted-U shape relationship between broadcast ratings and TV-VOD views. This implies that there exists a positive window effect between the original broadcast and TV-VOD, with an exceptional substitution effect in segments with very high ratings. (2) Even if the average ratings are similar, there are more VOD views for programs that have a large fluctuation in ratings between episodes, mainly due to serial complementarity. (3) In terms of the distribution of VOD views over time, the initial concentration is higher in paid VOD packages and dramas, which implies that immediate decay appears for TV-VOD content because of subscriber preferences for novelty and the serial nature of drama shows.

Although there is still considerable technological, economic and behavioural uncertainty, exploration of how the potential rollout may take place both spatially and temporally is required for effective policy formulation. Consequently, the cost, coverage and rollout implications of 5G networks across Britain are explored by extrapolating 4G LTE and LTE-Advanced characteristics for the period 2020-2030. We focus on ubiquitous ultrafast broadband of 50 Mbps and test the impact of annual capital intensity, infrastructure sharing and reducing the end-user speed in rural areas to either 10 or 30 Mbps. For the business-as-usual scenario we find that 90% of the population is covered with 5G by 2027, but coverage is unlikely to reach the final 10% due to exponentially increasing costs. Moreover, varying annual capital intensity or deploying a shared small cell network can greatly influence the time taken to reach the 90% threshold, with these changes mostly benefiting rural areas. Importantly, simply by integrating new and existing spectrum, a network capable of achieving 10 Mbps per rural user is possible, which is comparable to the UK's current fixed broadband Universal Service Obligation.

What is meant by DD are the differences in the levels of digital development of the enterprises; being the digital development the degree of adoption and use of ICTs and e-commerce by the firms. The aim of this piece of work is to characterise and measure the DD in the Spanish regions and those in the countries of the European Union based on the data of their enterprises with more than 10 employees which have used ICTs. The methodology is developed in the following stages: 1) Construction of a synthetic index of digital development (Enterprise Digital Development Index-EDDI-) for countries in the EU and Spanish regions. The production of this index is carried out based on the factors obtained with the factor analysis (FA) with the aim of identifying the key variables which define the different EDDI components. These variables come from the Community survey on ICT usage and e-commerce in enterprises of Eurostat 2) Classification of Spanish regions into the groups of European countries with a similar level of EDDI components based on the discriminant analysis. Those groups are previously obtained by using cluster analysis. And 3) Comparative analysis of the DD between the Spanish regions and those in countries of the EU based on EDDI components and the identified groups. The study provides a synthetic index (EDDI) at European scale comprising 3 dimensions which permits obtaining: i) a ranking from more to less digital development of countries and regions permitting the measurement of the DD among them is established; and ii) a typology of European countries and Spanish regions is defined according to the 3 dimensions of EDDI. The main results of this piece of work show that the Spanish regions at enterprise level: i) are in a medium or higher level of digital development than their European counterparts, presenting, furthermore, a lower DD between them in relation to what happens in European countries; ii) stand out for having a higher digital inclusion than European countries in the ICTs related to infrastructures of internet access and for the interaction with the public authorities; and iii) have a digital development deficit in the integration of ICTs for e-commerce.", "Addresses": "[Ruiz-Rodriguez, Francisca; Luis Lucendo-Monedero, Angel; Gonzalez-Relano, Reyes] Univ Seville, C Maria Padilla S-N, Seville 41004, Spain", "Affiliations": "University of Sevilla", "Reprint Addresses": "Lucendo-Monedero, AL (corresponding author), Univ Seville, C Maria Padilla S-N, Seville 41004, Spain.", "Email Addresses": "fruiz@us.es; angeluis@us.es; rgrelano@us.es", "Researcher Ids": "González-Relaño, Reyes/L-2889-2014; Ruiz-Rodríguez, Francisca/H-7705-2015; Lucendo Monedero, Angel Luis/H-9817-2015", "ORCIDs": "González-Relaño, Reyes/0000-0003-1560-2779; Ruiz-Rodríguez, Francisca/0000-0002-5409-3631; Lucendo Monedero, Angel Luis/0000-0001-8730-6544", "Funding Orgs": "Spanish Ministry of Economy, Industry and Competitiveness [CSO2015-67662]", "Funding Name Preferred": "Spanish Ministry of Economy, Industry and Competitiveness", "Funding Text": "This study is based on a R&D project financed by Spanish Ministry of Economy, Industry and Competitiveness.

In this regard, the analysis of the substitution effects between different types of telephony is the cornerstone of market definition and therefore of effective regulation. This paper explores the access substitution between fixed-lines, mobiles, and managed VoIP in a unified EU cross-country framework. We employ a half-yearly dataset for 20 EU countries for the 2008-2011 period and apply dynamic panel data methods. Our analysis demonstrates strong access substitution between fixed-lines and mobiles and provides indicative evidence on the substitution between fixed-lines and VoIP. Overall, we find evidence in favor of access substitution and therefore of joint market definition. Regulatory obligations imposed on the market for access to fixed telephone networks might therefore be redundant (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.", "Addresses": "[Lange, Mirjam R.

It provides empirical evidence of how this has resulted in institutional isomorphism within the self-referential policy network community involved in the benchmarking process. It argues that the policy prominence retained by supply-side benchmarking of e-government has probably indirectly limited efforts made to measure and evaluate more tangible impacts. High scores in EU benchmarking have contributed to increasing the institutionally-perceived quality but not necessarily the real quality and utility of e-government services. The article concludes by outlining implications for policy and practical recommendations for filling the gaps identified in measurement and evaluation of e-government. It proposes a more comprehensive policy benchmarking framework, which aims to ensure a gradual improvement in measurement activities with indicators that reflect and follow the pace of change, align measurement activities to evaluation needs and, eventually, reduce measurement error.

We observed the current situation of ICT global standardizations in those countries by analyzing the mobile communications standards, WCDMA and LTE, and derived interesting findings and meaningful implications from the analysis. First, this paper provides evidence of the differences in Chinese and Korean standard strategies; China is creating its own standard whereas Korea goes with global standardization. Second, this paper shows the subsequent results of the different strategies. In detail, we conducted an analysis based on (declared) essential patents in WCDMA and LTE. The results indicate that China and Korea hold a significant number of essential patents and their numbers compete with those of leading countries. However, the analysis shows that Korea accumulated domestic knowledge that enables the country to actively participate in standardization,but China still heavily relies on foreign knowledge, probably because China is attempting to create its own standard and accumulating knowledge takes a long time despite its efforts.Our findings have several implications for leading countries and other following countries.

However, all these initiatives jointly succeeded in sparking a heated debate on how public-private interplay can facilitate the deployment of broadband networks in a country still lagging behind European frontrunners such as Denmark, Sweden and the Netherlands. In the light of European Union regulation and recent case law, the paper examines three regional initiatives (Progetto Banda Ultra Larga Lombardia, Trentino Network and Lepida Emilia Romagna) by using the conceptual model on public private interplay developed by Nucciarelli, Sadowski, and Achard (2010). Thereafter, the paper elaborates on initiatives' ups and downs to focus on conditions and trigger events that have made them a success or a failure story. Lessons learnt conclude.

During the past 15 years, these programs have been examined from a number of perspectives in an attempt to measure their efficiency and effectiveness, including the funding mechanisms that support them. The Federal Communications Commission is in the process of restructuring the universal service programs to move support to broadband-based technologies. This is an opportune time to examine what is known about whether these programs have met the universal service objectives of the 1996 Act and have efficiently and effectively used universal service funding. To that end, this article surveys both oversight reports by federal government agencies and academic research literature drawn from a variety of sources to identify areas of concern regarding the mission, implementation, and impact of the federal universal service programs and support mechanisms. The article also includes research findings on how the economic incentives created by the federal universal service programs affect corporate investment and deployment decisions and consumer service and technology adoption decisions.

Entrants employ a range of business models, and we identify a prevalent tendency for leading providers to aggregate programming from a variety of different content owners. We focus on one form of content aggregation by multi-channel programming distributors (MPVDs) widely known as TV Everywhere (WE). Following a brief taxonomy of TVE systems, we develop an economic model to show how this free-with-authentication (of MVPD subscribership) bundling practice can be explained as a price discrimination device intended to slow MVPD disconnections. We show that TVE bundling could also deter entry into the online TV market. We discuss the potential roles of horizontal and vertical integration of MVPDs and ISPs in online TV industry development, again focusing on TVE, and conclude with policy implications.

Theories predict a positive effect of financial development and ICT on growth but empirical studies on these relationships produced mixed results. Further, we investigate the interaction between financial development and ICT Diffusion to test whether the impact of financial development on growth is strengthened by better ICT infrastructure. In this paper we assess empirically these relationships in some MENA countries. The empirical study is based on estimation of a dynamic panel model with system GMM estimators. There are three main findings. First, our empirical results join empirical literature that find a negative direct effect of financial development on economic growth. This ambiguous relationship may be linked to many phenomenons but there are not yet clear explanations of this puzzle. Second, the estimates reveal a positive and significant direct effect of ICT proxies on economic growth. This implies that MENA countries need to reinforce their ICT policies and improve using of new Information and Communication Technology. Finally, the interaction between ICT penetration and financial development is found positive and significant in the growth regression. This implies that economies in Mena region can benefit from financial development only once a threshold of ICT development is reached. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

It is therefore very useful to estimate ICT evolution by the means of an appropriate metric. Based on statistical data from 159 countries, the ICT maturity level index (IMLI) is proposed and estimated by using structural equation modelling (SEM). This index is a metric measuring the information society in a country and consists of three sub-indices which are access, use and skills. It is an improvement of the ICT development index, proposed by the ITU in 2009. The analysis divides the countries into two groups, the developed and the developing, due to major disparities in their statistical data. The criterion used to define the groups was the income, as expressed by the Gross National Income per capita. The impact of a number of influential parameters on the ICT maturity level is evaluated and it becomes obvious that there is a substantial difference in their impact between developed and developing countries. Finally, a procedure that allows the ranking of the countries, based on IMLI, is presented. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

Significant progress has been made in broadband deployment in the last decade. Nevertheless, there are increasing gaps in broadband adoption, use and speed between, as well as within, the states. Federal and state legislators and regulators currently use a number of indicators such as adoption, availability and speed to track states' progress in broadband diffusion in order to design appropriate policy responses. Single indicators, however, when analyzed individually, fall short of capturing multi-dimensional aspects of broadband diffusion and, thus, do not provide an integrated and easily comprehensible picture of states' advancement. To monitor states' overall progress it is useful to aggregate various indicators into a composite index that could measure the overall extent of broadband diffusion. A composite index can also provide with an important benchmark for designing policies to improve states' overall performance. This paper offers a flexible framework for benchmarking states' achievement in broadband diffusion by proposing a composite Broadband Achievement Index (BAI). The index combines several key performance indicators: broadband availability, adoption, competition, speed and the dispersion of broadband adoption within the states utilizing FCC's Form 477 data and the recently collected census block level broadband availability data from NTIA. The purpose is to provide a more comprehensive picture of where the states stand in their evolution toward high-performance America by measuring each state's current broadband achievement relative to other states and providing an important benchmark for assessing state-specific needs. The indicators are combined using the Benefit of the Doubt (BOD) methodology (Cherchye, Moesen, & Van Puyenbroeck, 2004). The methodology is founded on the premise that, absent a consensus on social policy priorities, that are, on which indicators are more important and should be given higher weights in the index, each state is granted leeway for deciding how to weigh its own indicators and the most favorable weights for indicators are determined for each state. A good relative performance in a particular dimension is seen as revealed evidence of setting high state policy priority to that indicator, when each state's specific policy priorities are unknown. Additionally, the Second Order Stochastic Dominance (SOSD) methodology is used to compare the dispersion of adoption in the states. Using SOSD the states are ranked under the assumption that proportionally higher and more equally distributed adoption rates are better. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd.

This expectation anchors on solid foundation since, presumably, the ICT revolution would radically alter access to information, dislodge entrenched social cleavages, and unleash new patterns of citizen consciousness and civic engagement by hitherto marginalized mass publics, and orchestrate new and decisive political equilibriums. This research provides an empirical assessment of the impact of ICTs on political development in sub-Saharan Africa. The analysis suggests that speculation about the potential for ICTS to enhance political development in the sub-Sahara is not unrealistic. The levels of phone, computer, and Internet diffusion are associated with political development, although only the effect of the phone remains once other variables are specified. The phone is the most robust of all individual factors explaining variations in political development. However, the effect of ICTs on political development can neither be certified as revolutionary, nor can they be codified as panacea. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd.

Within this context, the goals of this paper are twofold: (1) measuring the digital divide across the regions of the 27 Member States and within each country and (2) explaining the observed regional disparities. The analysis leads to identify Dutch regions as the Top-10 in ICT, while Greece and Bulgaria occupy the Bottom-10. Therefore, results show that the regional digital divide reflects to some extent the income gap. However, regional policy seems to be having some positive implications for technology adoption. In particular, the rural-versus-urban dimension of the digital gap appears to be less important than it is usually claimed to. Likewise, some evidence is found of the role of cultural and institutional factors in ICT adoption, an issue that has not been previously analyzed at the regional level. (c) 2010 Elsevier Ltd.

National survey data across country in 2022 and discrete choice model was used for the analysis. Surprisingly, finding showed that AIS and 3BB were not the closest competitors, but instead True, the provider with the largest market share, was their closest competitor. Based on the pre-merger analysis, it was predicted that service prices were likely to increase, and this merger is comprised a relevant market. To accurately define the market (market definition), other operators' services should not be considered as well. Considering the rising magnitude in service prices, it is estimated that, on average, prices will increase by 7.51%-31.51% compared to the current rates in 2022. Moreover, the study revealed that the merger would lead to an average increase in cost efficiency of 15.01% of the current marginal cost, which would allow the post-merger service prices to remain unchanged if the cost savings are passed on to consumers. A key policy recommendation was for regulatory agencies to conduct further analysis of competition, including evaluating entry barriers, the response of non-merging competitors, and competition without regulated pricing.

Based on this, this paper takes Chinese A-share listed companies from 2011 to 2018 as samples and China's National Comprehensive Big Data Pilot Zones (BDPZ) as a quasi-natural experiment. A difference-in-differences method was used to analyze the impact and transmission mechanism of the policy on the corporate sustainability. The results show that BDPZ policy can enhance the corporate sustainability and the reliability of the findings is demonstrated by a series of robustness tests. From the mechanism test, the BDPZ construction can strengthen the infrastructure effect, stimulate the talent effect and enhance the transaction effect to advance corporate digitalization and enhance their sustainability. From the heterogeneity analysis, the corporate sustainability enhancement effect of BDPZ construction is more significant for hightech enterprises, but not for resource-intensive industries and enterprises in cross-regional type pilot zones.

By using Input-Output Table Data to compute Forward and Backward Linkage Effects in South Korea's telecom industry throughout Generational Changes, this study aims to analyze South Korea's telecom industry's impacts and changes on upstream and downstream industries to offer implications for its evolution to the 5th generation. This study used empirical input-output data for the period between the years 2000-2014 to conduct input-output analysis to evaluate forward and backward linkages in South Korea's telecom industry for each generation of it. The results revealed that (1) Korea's telecom industry can be defined as a dependent manufacturing industry due to its below average forward linkage and above-average backward linkage over the whole study period, and (2) backward linkage in South Korea's telecom industry was higher than the economy-wide average value during our study period although it decreased with the industry's generational shifts. The results indicate that telecommunications companies should create new markets in which they can propagate emerging technologies of the 4IR (4th Industrial Revolution) to other industries, in order to ensure that the 5th generation telecom industry maintain its position as a key industry. On the other hand, the government should make policies to support start-ups and SMEs in telecom industry and implement structural reforms in Korea's oligopolistic telecom market.", "Addresses": "[Choe, Hyoung-Seon; Jun, Sung-Youl; Lee, Sang-Gun] Sogang Univ, Sogang Business Sch, Div Management Informat Syst, Seoul, South Korea; [Yang, Chang-Gyu] Seoul Venture Univ, Dept Convergence Ind, Seoul, South Korea", "Affiliations": "Sogang University", "Reprint Addresses": "Yang, CG (corresponding author), Seoul Venture Univ, Dept Convergence Ind, Seoul, South Korea.", "Email Addresses": "cozlove@svu.ac.kr", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 28.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 0.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 0.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 10.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 12.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

Furthermore, it has escalated to government bodies with different beliefs and formed diverse coalitions, including among government bodies. Therefore, governments, given their regulatory and supportive roles, should be able to intervene at the right time with practical tools and trade off their internal conflicts. This paper uses an exploratory-abductive approach to identify the challenges of the regulation during the lifecycle of PBs, explores the conflicts of interest among economic actors, examines the government intervention in the economy, and explains the regulatory and supportive roles of the government. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews with PB experts, who have active roles in the regulatory process, and with well-known academics on the subject. Reviewing the pathways of PBs in Iran between 2014 and 2018, the paper suggests five propositions using regulation economics and advocacy coalition framework to develop the regulatory roles of government. The results demonstrate that PBs' lifecycle, shifting from one-sided to two-sided market, moving from ownership to accessibility, and timing of intervention significantly support the development of Cognitive Tools, Regulation Frameworks, and Regulation Tools.", "Addresses": "[Soltanzadeh, Javad] Univ Mazandaran, Fac Econ & Adm Sci, Babolsar, Iran; [Blind, Knut] Tech Univ Berlin, Chair Innovat Econ, Berlin, Germany; [Blind, Knut] Fraunhofer Inst Syst & Innovat Res ISI, Business Unit Innovat & Regulat, Karlsruhe, Germany; [Elyasi, Mehdi] Allameh Tabatabai Univ, Fac Management & Accounting, Tehran, Iran", "Affiliations": "University of Mazandaran; Technical University of Berlin; Fraunhofer Gesellschaft; Allameh Tabataba'i University", "Reprint Addresses": "Soltanzadeh, J (corresponding author), Univ Mazandaran, Fac Econ & Adm Sci, Babolsar, Iran.", "Email Addresses": "j.soltanzadeh@umz.ac.ir; Knut.Blind@TU-Berlin.de; m.elysai@atu.ac.ir", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "Elyasi, Mahdi/0000-0002-9883-3187; Soltanzadeh, Javad/0000-0003-3176-8816", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 104.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 1.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 1.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 8.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 14.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

In the study of the governance of communication networks governance in science and technology studies, traditionally the emphasis has been on sociotechnical imaginaries (Jasanoff & Kim, 2015) which encapsulate joint futures that produce institutional configurations and the discursive roles in the power tussle between various stakeholders. I argue that next to the studying of power over infrastructures and their governance by sociotechnical imaginaries, there is an increasing need to study how power is distributed and control is exercised through the shaping of the technological ma-teriality of infrastructures, as is happening for instance in the process of standardization. To describe the workings of the distribution of power and the exercising of control through networks, governance, and standardization, I expand the concept of network ideologies (Bory, 2020) to show how several network ideologies are at play in the shaping of 5G networks. I base my analysis on the qualitative analysis of standard-setting processes through document analysis of mailinglist conversations, standards, and policy documents, as well as through the parallel operation of experimental 5G networks. The analysis shows that sociotechnical imaginaries are insufficient to show the political process of the distribution of power and opportunities for control through the production of transnational communication infrastructures. The notion of network ideologies might provide a basis to study the merging of internet and telecommunication infrastructures, their standard-setting, and their governance as well as the excom-munication of the user by relinquishing its ability to understand and configure infrastructures.", "Addresses": "[ten Oever, Niels] Univ Amsterdam, Amsterdam, Netherlands", "Affiliations": "University of Amsterdam", "Reprint Addresses": "ten Oever, N (corresponding author), Univ Amsterdam, Amsterdam, Netherlands.", "Email Addresses": "mail@nielstenoever.net", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "", "Funding Orgs": "Dutch Research Council (NWO) [MVI.19.032]; Open Technology Fund", "Funding Name Preferred": "Dutch Research Council (NWO)(Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (NWO)); Open Technology Fund", "Funding Text": "The author gratefully acknowledges funding from the Dutch Research Council (NWO) through grant MVI.19.032 as part of the programme Maatschappelijk Verantwoord Innoveren (MVI) ' and the Open Technology Fund.

This study provides new empirical evidence that demonstrates the impact of cities' ICT on firm performance. A series of panel datasets are assembled to measure the improvement of city's ICT infrastructure and the change of firm performance during the years 2001-2016 in China. The findings demonstrate that city's ICTs positively promoted firm performance, including financial profitability, marketing performance and innovation performance. Instrumental variables are employed to verify the positive impact of city's ICTs infrastructure on firm profitability. Taking advantage of an exogenous variation of telecommunications upgrade as a natural experiment, this study uses the difference-in-difference approach to establish causality between cities' ICT infrastructure and firm profitability. Mechanisms are explored, which shows that better labour quality, lower costs and higher transparency are the three possible channels through which ICTs influence firm profitability.", "Addresses": "[Huang, Jiashun] Univ Sci & Technol China, Sch Publ Affairs, Hefei 230026, Peoples R China; [Huang, Jiashun] Univ Sci & Technol China, Inst Intellectual Property, Hefei 230026, Peoples R China; [Huang, Jiashun] Harvard Univ, Lab & Worklife Program, Cambridge, MA 02138 USA; [Li, Weiping] Sun Yat Sen Univ, Int Sch Business & Finance, Zhuhai 519082, Peoples R China; [Guo, Lijia] Univ Cambridge, Fac Human Social & Polit Sci, Cambridge CB2 3RQ, England; [Hall, Jim W.] Univ Oxford, Sch Geog & Environm, Oxford OX1 3QY, England", "Affiliations": "Chinese Academy of Sciences; University of Science & Technology of China, CAS; Chinese Academy of Sciences; University of Science & Technology of China, CAS; Harvard University; Sun Yat Sen University; University of Cambridge; University of Oxford", "Reprint Addresses": "Li, WP (corresponding author), Sun Yat Sen Univ, Int Sch Business & Finance, Zhuhai 519082, Peoples R China.", "Email Addresses": "liwp27@mail.sysu.edu.cn; lg483@cam.ac.uk", "Researcher Ids": "Guo, Lijia/AFQ-7556-2022; Li, Weiping/GWM-8357-2022", "ORCIDs": "Li, Weiping/0000-0002-2203-1049", "Funding Orgs": "Swire Education Trust; Infrastructure Transitions Research Consortium (ITRC) - UK Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) [EP/N017064/1]; National Natural Science Foundation of China [L1924080]; Natural Science Foundation of Anhui Province [2008085QG343]; Science & Technology Innovation Strategy and Soft Science Research Fund of Anhui [202006f01050001]", "Funding Name Preferred": "Swire Education Trust; Infrastructure Transitions Research Consortium (ITRC) - UK Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC)(UK Research & Innovation (UKRI)Engineering & Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC)); National Natural Science Foundation of China(National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC)); Natural Science Foundation of Anhui Province(Natural Science Foundation of Anhui Province); Science & Technology Innovation Strategy and Soft Science Research Fund of Anhui", "Funding Text": "star We thank Richard Freeman, Sultan Orazbayev, Xi Hu, Jianglong Li, and Hang Yu for their very helpful comments and suggestions.

But the digital economy is experienced locally, and its effects are spatial. Measuring them requires better community-level data on economic activities online. While new government data measures broadband subscriptions down to neighborhoods, existing public data do not measure how broadband is used in local communities, and whether this digital activity affects economic outcomes. We analyze new monthly data on over 20 million domain name hosts/websites in the United States from November 2018 to November 2020 drawing on customer data. Surveys show that 3 out of 4 of these domains are commercial, including microbusinesses as well as websites for both online and brick-and-mortar establishments. How is the density of domain name hosts in a community (the number in a zip code or county divided by the population) related to local economic opportunity, controlling for other known factors? Using statistical matching and time series data, results show the density of domain name hosts positively predicts community economic prosperity, recovery from the 2008 recession, and change in median income. Interactions between the density of these hosts and broadband subscriptions also predict lower monthly unemployment rates over time, including after the March 2020 pandemic. Commercial data can improve our understanding of broadband's impacts, including its potential for inclusive growth in diverse communities.", "Addresses": "[Mossberger, Karen] Univ Arizona, Tucson, AZ 85721 USA; [LaCombe, Scott] Smith Coll, Northampton, MA 01063 USA; [Tolbert, Caroline J.] Univ Iowa, Iowa City, IA 52242 USA", "Affiliations": "University of Arizona; Smith College; University of Iowa", "Reprint Addresses": "Mossberger, K (corresponding author), Arizona State Univ, Sch Publ Affairs, 411 N Cent Ave,Suite 450, Phoenix, AZ 85004 USA.", "Email Addresses": "karen.mossberger@asu.edu", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "", "Funding Orgs": "GoDaddy", "Funding Name Preferred": "GoDaddy", "Funding Text": "De-identified data and funding for analysis were provided by GoDaddy.

Our descriptive analysis relies on a unique data set on all the broadband measures notified to the European Commission by Member States between 2003 and 2018. We identify two waves of State Aid for broadband: one for the deployment of basic broadband, and a more recent one for the roll out of next-generation access networks. The use of State Aid is very heterogeneous across Member States, with a few large countries representing the bulk of the cases. The objective of most plans is to expand broadband coverage. The typical project relies mainly on public funds, and involves a direct grant, an open tender, and a contract for 3-5 years. Access obligations are imposed on networks deployed with State Aid, using a benchmarking approach in most cases. Finally, we show that notifications are associated with a relatively high level of broadband coverage in notifying countries, suggesting that public investment is taking over from private investment.", "Addresses": "[Bourreau, Marc] Telecom Paris, Inst Polytech Paris, 19 Pl Marguerite Perey, F-91120 Palaiseau, France; [Nicolle, Ambre] Ludwig Maximilians Univ Munchen, Inst Strategy Technol & Org, Munich Sch Management, Kaulbachstr 45, D-80539 Munich, Germany", "Affiliations": "IMT - Institut Mines-Telecom; Institut Polytechnique de Paris; Telecom Paris; University of Munich", "Reprint Addresses": "Bourreau, M (corresponding author), Telecom Paris, Inst Polytech Paris, 19 Pl Marguerite Perey, F-91120 Palaiseau, France.", "Email Addresses": "marc.bourreau@telecom-paris.fr; fronfraithltd@gmail.com; a.nicolle@lmu.de", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "Nicolle, Ambre/0000-0001-5014-4457", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 16.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 9.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 9.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 0.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 7.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

However, the level of IPTV penetration differs among operators, which might be closely related to individual operator's strategy for the broadband market and the regulatory environment. Controlling country-specific business environments, this study identifies the key factors influencing IPTV penetration rates. Results show that broadband penetration, broadband quality, telecommunications service fee, and broadband cap are important factors leading to greater IPTV penetration. This might provide valuable suggestions to telecom operators, such as strategies for leveraging broadband quality and data cap to compete against emerging video services, or bundling strategies with price benefits to convert more broadband users into IPTV subscribers. Comparison of groups differing in IPTV penetration rates, GDP per capital, and percentage of urban population are conducted to gain additional insight into the contextual differences between countries. The results reinforce the importance of constructing high quality broadband infrastructure and taking advantage of bundling plans.", "Addresses": "[Kim, Jiwhan; Nam, Changi] Korea Adv Inst Sci & Technol, Sch Business & Technol Management, Coll Business, N22,291 Daehak Ro, Daejeon 305701, South Korea; [Ryu, Min Ho] Dong A Univ, Dept Management Informat Syst, Busan 49236, South Korea", "Affiliations": "Korea Advanced Institute of Science & Technology (KAIST); Dong A University", "Reprint Addresses": "Ryu, MH (corresponding author), Dong A Univ, Dept Management Informat Syst, Busan 49236, South Korea.", "Email Addresses": "ryumh12@dau.ac.kr", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "", "Funding Orgs": "Ministry of Education of the Republic of Korea; National Research Foundation of Korea [NRF-2019S1A3A2099973]", "Funding Name Preferred": "Ministry of Education of the Republic of Korea(Ministry of Education (MOE), Republic of Korea); National Research Foundation of Korea(National Research Foundation of Korea)", "Funding Text": "This work was supported by the Ministry of Education of the Republic of Korea and the National Research Foundation of Korea (NRF-2019S1A3A2099973).", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 24.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 7.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 7.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 1.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 6.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

One of the important characteristics of mobile games is that their lifetime is remarkably short compared with those of PC or console games, and downloads of most games peak during the early period of the service. Acquiring as many users as possible immediately after the launch and retaining these users therefore becomes very important for the successful performance of mobile games. This study aims to identify the determinants of mobile game success during different periods after the launch by comparing the first week's performance with the first 4 weeks' performance using a multiple regression analysis with mobile game application downloads from Google Play and estimated sales revenue as performance indicators. The predictors were classified on the basis of the pre- and postlaunch phases, and developer/publisher and third-party factors. A key finding is that for both revenue and downloads, TV advertising and the number of online videos have strong impacts on both the first week and 4 weeks' performance. In addition, preregistration during the prelaunch stage is effective for increasing both revenue and downloads in a relatively short time. Online videos uploaded by the users during the postlaunch phase may help to maintain long-term revenue. Although awareness of IP and name value of publishers are significant for short-term downloads, the effect diminishes after a month, which might imply that there could be an opportunity for small- and medium-sized companies to invest in media and obtain mobile platform advantages in the long run.", "Addresses": "[Nam, Kyungjin; Kim, Hye-jin] Korea Adv Inst Sci & Technol, Sch Business & Technol Management, Coll Business, Daejeon, South Korea", "Affiliations": "Korea Advanced Institute of Science & Technology (KAIST)", "Reprint Addresses": "Kim, HJ (corresponding author), Korea Adv Inst Sci & Technol, Sch Business & Technol Management, Coll Business, Daejeon, South Korea.", "Email Addresses": "kjnam1110@kaist.ac.kr; hyejinkim@kaist.ac.kr", "Researcher Ids": "Kim, Hye-jin/F-9089-2013", "ORCIDs": "Kim, Hye-jin/0000-0001-8586-5625", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 59.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 10.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 10.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 5.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 41.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

This emerging environment is an always-on, ubiquitous, integrated system comprised of the Internet of Things, Big Data, Artificial Intelligence/Intelligent Systems and the Intercloud, which act together as a single system, referred to here as the Embedded Infosphere (EI). This development is driving the latest stage the third in the evolution of U.S. communications policy. Each of the components of the EI presents unique challenges, but the greater concern is all of them acting in concert. These developments bring into focus many topics that have been outside the traditional communications policy envelope, and exceed the portfolios of existing agencies and institutions. This article envisions a new EI policy space, grounded in established societal values, and built on the experience of the previous stages. There are appropriate policy responses to each of the challenges, but these responses need to be seen in a holistic perspective, as they are all interconnected. Many of the issues such as privacy, security, consumer protection, and data stewardship are common across several elements. The larger goal is to establish a framework for an integrated policy structure which can address unpredictable emergent conditions, while allowing markets to flourish without unduly burdensome regulations, restrictions or uncertainties. This articles suggests a high-level analytical framework of criteria against which proposed EI policies can be measured. While there may be no perfect policies, some may be better (or worse) than others. It also offers a political process designed to incorporate the concept of the EI into national policy thinking. This approach should be implemented through a series of steps and should provide flexibility for development. The initial step is a process by which the EI can be acknowledged, its development analyzed, and the national interests institutionalized. The U.S. Senate has already initiated this process with the pending DIGIT Act, designed to bring together the core federal stakeholders and open a policy discourse which will be expanded over time to other key stakeholders. This should lead to the development of a national EI strategy. Since the El is progressively global, the article suggests how both the normative and regulatory dimensions can be approached in the global context. It raises the possibility of a restructured ICANN Empowered Community as a possible venue for developing policies and recommendations in this area. It notes that since global unanimity is unlikely, non-governmental regimes will likely develop to address the unresolved policy interstices.", "Addresses": "[Taylor, Richard D.] Univ Hawaii Manoa, 331 Crawford Hall, Honolulu, HI 96822 USA; [Taylor, Richard D.] Penn State Univ, Telecommun Studies & Law, University Pk, PA 16802 USA", "Affiliations": "University of Hawaii System; University of Hawaii Manoa; Pennsylvania Commonwealth System of Higher Education (PCSHE); Pennsylvania State University; Pennsylvania State University - University Park", "Reprint Addresses": "Taylor, RD (corresponding author), Univ Hawaii Manoa, 331 Crawford Hall, Honolulu, HI 96822 USA.", "Email Addresses": "rdtaylor@hawaii.edu", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 85.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 10.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 12.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 1.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 29.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

New spectrum sharing arrangements have been identified as effective ways to satisfy emerging connectivity needs. In particular, the so-called Licensed Shared Access (LSA) regime has been given prominence in the European Union (EU) to facilitate access to additional spectrum necessary to meet the exponential growth of mobile data traffic. Under the LSA regime, already occupied, but underutilised spectrum would be shared, on a licensed-basis, between incumbents and mobile operators, under agreed frequency, location and time sharing conditions. A similar system has been proposed in the United States (US), called Spectrum Access System (SAS). In this context, the purpose of this paper is two-fold: firstly, to assess the novelty of the LSA regime with respect to existing spectrum sharing arrangements in the EU and, secondly, to identify the main differences between the LSA and the SAS regimes. Policy documents, academic papers, position papers and analysis reports are scrutinised to gather information on technical and regulatory aspects of existing and emerging spectrum sharing regimes. This paper concludes that the novelty of the LSA regime is found in the possibility for mobile operators to access additional spectrum below 6 GHz (GHz) with the regulatory certainty required to invest in 5G. Implementing other spectrum sharing regimes to access sub-6 GHz spectrum would not guarantee mobile operators protection from harmful interference and predictable Quality of Service (QoS). The comparison between the LSA and the SAS approaches suggests that the LSA regime can be implemented quicker and with less effort than the SAS regime, because of its lower level of technical complexity. Nevertheless, the LSA regime is expected to be overtaken by the SAS regime in the long term, as technology advances. The SAS regime would allow more users to coexist in the same spectrum bands thanks to spectrum sensing techniques.", "Addresses": "[Massaro, Maria] Chalmers Univ Technol, Dept Technol Management & Econ, Vera Sandbergs Alle 8, S-41296 Gothenburg, Sweden", "Affiliations": "Chalmers University of Technology", "Reprint Addresses": "Massaro, M (corresponding author), Chalmers Univ Technol, Dept Technol Management & Econ, Vera Sandbergs Alle 8, S-41296 Gothenburg, Sweden.", "Email Addresses": "massaro@chalmers.se", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "Massaro, Maria/0000-0002-8007-0839", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 77.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 16.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 17.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 0.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 11.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

However, utilization of ICT also involves access to technology and infrastructure, and acquisition of skills to deal with innovations and, thus, digital literacy is, primarily, a complementary good. The digital divide expresses inequalities in access and utilization of ICT among individuals and populations in different countries. The study adopts inequalities indexes of Internet access and mobile phone ownership to measure use of ICT goods, accounting for the digital divide in Brazil. The inequality indexes are also split according to main determinants using four nationally representative survey data from 2005 to 2013. Results indicate that the digital divide among individuals is decreasing quite fast among Brazilians over time. However, there is room for policies of mass access to ICT goods based on mobile Internet broadband access.

After characterising the telecommunications market and discussing and selecting the most suitable long-term methodology, an econometric analysis of telecommunications M&A from 1995 to 2010 was conducted. The research focused on telephone companies or operators as the leading players in the sector. Based on this econometric analysis, we found clear evidence of value destruction (2000-2010) when the sector is analysed as a whole, and we found evidence of value creation when the companies involved use the same language. Different levels of value creation or value destruction were found, depending on the specific language of the operation. This econometric study is the first study devoted to long-term value creation in telecommunications after the liberalisation of the telecommunications market and the first study to quantitatively analyse the role of language in telecommunications M&A.

In this paper we argue that these two facts are related. Using the EU KLEMS dataset we test the capital-skill complementarity hypothesis in a cross-section of sectors in Spain. We find that the substitutability between workers and ICT assets falls as worker skill level rises, and that this feature holds across all sectors. Furthermore, the ICT assets are complementary with skilled workers. The fraction of workers employed with medium and high skills across sectors rose by 21% and 12%, respectively, to the disadvantage of low skilled workers, due to an adjustment within sectors more than to a composition effect between sectors. Finally, using a regression analysis, we conclude that some labor market institutions are likely behind the evolution of sectorial productivity and ICT investment in Spain. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd.

While most existing studies have approached this issue from a technical or institutional perspective, few have examined how China's official media discourses work to legitimize its Internet governance. Based on a content and discourse analysis of 301 articles published by China Communist Party's central mouthpiece, People's Daily (2000-2014), this study explores how Internet governance is discursively constituted and practiced in China. The findings suggest that China's state-run media consistently justifies Internet governance on the basis of moral goodness, personal security, and social stability. Over the years, official media discourse has changed from viewing the Internet as a technological space with potential moral and security concerns to treating it as a destabilizing field of contentions. The findings also demonstrate the ways in which China's Internet governance framework is evolving in step with the pace of technological change. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd.

The linear approximate Almost Ideal Demand System (LA/AIDS) is implemented in both short-run and long-run models. The short-run relationship is estimated using a seemingly unrelated regression (SUR) with first differenced series of data, and the long run relationship is examined through a Vector Error Correction Model (VECM). Both sets of empirical results suggest that the household demand for telecommunications services is income inelastic over the whole analysis period, and the absolute value of the own price elasticity noticeably increased in the period of 2007.Q1-2014.Q4. Additionally, the estimations from the VECM LA/AIDS model suggest that the relationship between telecommunications services and other existing goods/services such as public transportations, cultural services, books and private education had a complementary relationship in the early period of the Internet and mobile services. However, a substitution relationship has tended to be reinforced after the Internet and mobile services came into widespread use. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd.

Given the diverging interests of the parties involved, it is surprising that consensus is usually reached in these committees. A case study of the development of IEEE 802.11 is conducted which is presented as an emergent phenomenon. IEEE 802.11 is a typical example of a highly successful technological platform that encountered several organizational glitches during its development, but eventually achieved widespread market dominance. This study examines these glitches and proposes strategies to overcome them by using concepts from the governance literature. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd.

Currently increasing research is being done on how to incorporate such data in traffic models, and there is therefore a need for a method, which is suited to collect such data. The new method presented in this article builds on ideas from experience sampling methods (ESM) and it is well suited specifically for collecting such experience data. Given the use of SMS technology, this method makes it possible to reach a wide range of respondents. The usefulness of the new method is proven on a theoretical level and illustrated in practice through a case study. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd.

The article describes the cost reductions that can be achieved when a co-investment scheme is used, as well as the relationship between market shares and the cost per home connected. A cost model was employed to calculate the investment per home passed and the investment per home connected. The investment per home passed for an alternative operator indicates significant cost reductions when a co-investment scheme is used. On the other hand, the results show that when the incumbent's market share is equal or higher than the total market share of all the alternative operators that share the network infrastructure, the investment per home connected for an alternative operator is higher than that for the incumbent operator. Moreover, to be cost competitive with the incumbent operator, the necessary market share that each alternative operator should achieve is much lower than that of the incumbent operator.

However, greater proximity increases the risk of service breakdowns caused both by poor interference tolerance in receivers and by inappropriate signals radiated by transmitters. In order to maximize the value of radio operation, a system view that facilitates trade-offs between receiver and transmitter performance is required. However, radio operation has traditionally been regulated using limits on transmitters, with few if any explicit constraints on receivers. This paper brings receivers into the regulatory picture by using harm claim thresholds, that is, interfering signal levels set by the regulator or spectrum manager that have to be exceeded before a receiving system operator can claim harmful interference; the specification of receiver performance (aka receiver standards) is left to manufacturers and operators. The paper explains how harm claim thresholds would be defined from both radio engineering and regulatory perspectives, and outlines how parameter values can be derived for television service and for a new allocation with cellular service in the adjacent band. Harm claim thresholds benefit both radio system operators and regulators by providing greater clarity about the entitlements that are entailed in assignments. They reduce business risk, and allow regulators to delegate both engineering design and boundary adjustment decisions to operators, thus allowing market forces to work more efficiently. These attributes will be particularly useful in bands with many, diverse and rapidly changing services and devices. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd.

The UFB network will cover 75 percent of New Zealanders over 10 years and will cost NZD $1.5 billion to the New Zealand government. The technical and economic characteristics of the new network will have a deep impact on the current landscape of the telecommunications markets. Institutional arrangements are in place for the development of the New Zealand's UFB: a government-owned agency, Crown Fibre Holdings (CFH); private investors who jointly with CFH own the Local Fibre Companies (LFCs) which will operate the UFB; and Retail Service Providers (RSP) that will provide end-user services by purchasing wholesale services to the LFCs. Relying on a normative economics approach that uses recent advances in the theory of platform-based markets with cross-network effects - also known as theory of two-sided platforms - the paper proposes a novel view of the way markets over the UFB will unfold. On one hand, the theory is used to explain the rationale behind regulatory decisions already made and their effect on the development of UFB-based markets for contents and services. Such analysis is followed, on the other hand, by the introduction of a simple taxonomy for the RSPs which provides the framework to argue about the most likely scenarios for service deployment and competition to develop over the UFB. The analytical framework reveals that the UFB ecosystem will be fraught with cross-network externalities which are the basis for regulatory decisions already adopted and the source of particular forms of strategic behavior adopted by the UFB-based market innovators.

For the first time, in the present paper a bootstrap approach for the decomposition of labour productivity change, proposed by Kumar and Russell (2002), is employed. This approach permits to conduct statistical inference on the parameters of interest, and to analyse the effects of ICT technologies on capital accumulation. The results confirm the role of Id T as a general purpose technology that needs organisational and business process changes to fully exploit its growth opportunities. The paper also finds out, by applying a non-parametric test, that ICT technologies positively contribute to the generation of convergence clubs in the evolution of labour productivity. Finally, the empirical evidence offers some basic guidance for future policy intervention in supporting ICT capital investments. (c) 2011 Elsevier Ltd.

This ICT-based market information is provided by FM radio stations and by market information centers through media such as mobile phones and internet facilities, etc. Factors that positively affect the probability of access to ICT-based market information include access to microfinance loans, membership in a farmer association, government awareness campaigns, and wealth. Distance to the trading centers or district capital negatively affects this access. The likelihood of access to ICT-based market information declines with female-headed households. Access to market information has a positive and significant impact on the intensity of adopting improved seed for all crops. Adoption of improved seed has a positive and significant effect on farm yields and gross farm returns. This research shows that in order to generate meaningful improvements in food security and farm incomes, there must be commensurate efforts to promote ICT-based market information along with yield-augmenting agricultural seed technologies.

On theoretical grounds, this paper discusses three channels through which ICT penetration can affect growth: (i) fostering technology diffusion and innovation; (ii) enhancing the quality of decision-making by firms and households; and (iii) increasing demand and reducing production costs, which together raises the output level. This paper conducts three empirical exercises to provide a comprehensive documentation of the role of ICT as a source of growth in the 1996-2005 period. The first exercise shows that growth in 1996-2005 improved relative to the previous two decades and experienced a very significant structural change. The second exercise uses the traditional cross-country regression method to identify a strong association between ICT penetration and growth during 1996-2005, controlling for other potential growth drivers and country-fixed effects. The third exercise uses the system Generalized Method of Moment (GMM) for dynamic panel data analysis to tease out the causal link between ICE penetration and growth. This analysis also shows that, for the average country, the marginal effect of the penetration of internet users was larger than that of mobile phones, which in turn is larger than that of personal computers.

The results show that subscribers' satisfaction, switching costs, and habit strength negatively influence switching intentions, constituting a sucking effect that motivates subscribers to stay with their original providers. Alternative attractiveness, on the other hand, positively influences switching intentions, comprising a pulling effect that encourages subscribers to migrate to other providers. In spite of the promotional benefits offered by new service providers, Taiwanese mobile phone subscribers generally remain with their original providers. For instance, when subscribers perceive that there are no significant influences between service satisfaction and switching costs associated with different providers, what encourages subscribers to stay with their original providers is habit strength. Oftentimes, it is difficult for subscribers with strong habits to be attracted by promotions offered by alternative service providers. Because the concepts of suck-and-pull effects or habit-and-competition forces are infrequently studied, this paper explores these concepts and attempts to fill the void. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd.

This study examines the dynamics of multifaceted age-based digital divides (perceived Internet importance, Internet access, and learning-oriented Internet use) as well as their socioeconomic differentials (urban-rural residence, gender, and education). Using longitudinal data from China Family Panel Survey (CFPS) from 2010 to 2020, the study found that despite increases in perceived importance and physical access, learningoriented use showed a downward trend. Moreover, the age-based divides regarding importance and access persisted over time while the divides in learning-oriented use by age fluctuated, and these dynamics varied across different social groups. The largest difference was observed between high-educated and low-educated groups: while the age-based divides in perceived importance and access have widened among the low-educated, these gaps have been bridged among the higheducated populations. For the usage gap, this contrasting developmental trend was only observed between middle-aged and young people, but not for the elderly.", "Addresses": "[Ren, Wei] Xi An Jiao Tong Univ, Sch Journalism & New Media, Xian, Peoples R China; [Zhu, Xiaowen] Xi An Jiao Tong Univ, Sch Humanities & Social Sci, Xian, Peoples R China; [Zhu, Xiaowen] Xi An Jiao Tong Univ, Sch Humanities & Social Sci, Dept Sociol, 28 Xianning West Rd, Xian, Peoples R China", "Affiliations": "Xi'an Jiaotong University; Xi'an Jiaotong University; Xi'an Jiaotong University", "Reprint Addresses": "Zhu, XW (corresponding author), Xi An Jiao Tong Univ, Sch Humanities & Social Sci, Dept Sociol, 28 Xianning West Rd, Xian, Peoples R China.", "Email Addresses": "xwzhu@xjtu.edu.cn", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "", "Funding Orgs": "National Social Science Foundation of China [22BSH055]; China Postdoctoral Science Foundation [2023M742808]; China National Postdoctoral Research Funding [GZB20230579]; Shaanxi Provincial Postdoctoral Research Grant; Fundamental Research Funds for the Central Universities at Xi'an Jiaotong University", "Funding Name Preferred": "National Social Science Foundation of China(National Office of Philosophy and Social Sciences); China Postdoctoral Science Foundation(China Postdoctoral Science Foundation); China National Postdoctoral Research Funding; Shaanxi Provincial Postdoctoral Research Grant; Fundamental Research Funds for the Central Universities at Xi'an Jiaotong University", "Funding Text": "We sincerely thank the editor and the anonymous reviewers for their thoughtful suggestions, which greatly improved the quality of the research.

Ideally, it should be allocated to the most valuable uses in a country and used as intensively as possible. Yet, we are far from this, with spectrum use entrenched for decades and much of spectrum unused for much of the time. Changing usage is typically bureaucratic and glacially slow compared to the speed of innovation. That is, the promise of spectrum management reforms has not been delivered so far. We promulgate and endorse the earlier views that the key elements needed to progress with spectrum liberalisation are fully flexible spectrum property rights where the use can be changed by the licence holder subject to interference constraints, improved conditions for secondary trading to enable change of ownership, and the lightest touch regulatory intervention. We propose and explain a comprehensive policy framework based on the concept of Evolved Spectrum Usage Rights (eSUR) that enables change of use and innovation that can apply to all exclusive spectrum licensing. We elaborate on this to discuss a practical path and roadmap to the future to realise a world where spectrum can deliver much greater value than currently. The proposed policy measures apply predominantly to commercial spectrum, but some elements might also help with public sector spectrum.", "Addresses": "[Webb, William] Access Partnership, London SW1E 6QT, England; [Medeisis, Arturas] Vilnius Gediminas Tech Univ, Dept Comp Sci & Commun Technol, LT-10223 Vilnius, Lithuania; [Minervini, Leo Fulvio] Univ Macerata, Dept Econ & Law, I-62100 Macerata, Italy", "Affiliations": "Vilnius Gediminas Technical University; University of Macerata", "Reprint Addresses": "Medeisis, A (corresponding author), Vilnius Gediminas Tech Univ, Dept Comp Sci & Commun Technol, LT-10223 Vilnius, Lithuania.", "Email Addresses": "william.webb@accesspartnership.com; arturas.medeisis@vilniustech.lt; leofulvio.minervini@unimc.it", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 56.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 0.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 0.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 0.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 0.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "London", "Publisher Address": "125 London Wall, London, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

As a result of analyzing news articles in the Korean press with 5G as the main keyword, a total of five topics were derived. Intriguingly, most topics contained several new articles related to government policies. Considering the characteristics of the mobile network industry-e.g. as an industry that receives licenses from the government-this result suggests that 5G-related issues are closely related to government policies.

According to the findings, the use of ICTs (mobile phone and internet) decreases the spread of the informal economy in Africa. These results are robust to a battery of robustness checks. Furthermore, the results of the mediation analysis show that the effect of ICTs on the informal economy is mediated by financial development, human capital and control of corruption.

The focus is on mobile network operators and their business opportunities in the public safety market.Purpose: The purpose of this research is to provide a review of ongoing public safety mobile broadband projects in which mobile operators play a key role. In addition, a business model analysis is presented to determine the role of mobile operators in these projects. A comparison of the two key business models is also included to reveal their general characteristics.Methods and data: The research used a qualitative method, an inductive case study. This method was used to draw general conclusions from a small number of case studies based on ongoing public safety mobile broadband projects. The Casadesus-Masanell and Ricart framework and the business model canvas were used to analyse and compare the two key business models discussed. Data were collected from a variety of sources, including company reports, press releases, inter-national events and conferences, and selected interviews with managers in charge.Findings: The results show that mobile operators have new business opportunities in the public safety market. Their existing mobile networks can be used for public safety services with certain enhancements. Within existing projects, mobile operators have different business models. The two analysed models were found to require different resources and offer different business op-portunities for mobile operators. Procurement authorities responsible for selecting business models are encouraged to pay attention to the choice of model based on, for example, strategic objectives.Value: Very little research has been done on the business opportunities of mobile operators in the public safety market. In this area, this study lays the groundwork for new research. Procurement authorities can use the results when deciding on the business model. Mobile operators can benefit from these results by better understanding their own roles in public safety projects and when assessing the business opportunities of a particular project.", "Addresses": "[Savunen, Tapio; Hammainen, Heikki; Kilkki, Kalevi; Kekolahti, Pekka] Aalto Univ, Sch Elect Engn, Dept Informat & Commun Engn, Espoo, Finland", "Affiliations": "Aalto University", "Reprint Addresses": "Savunen, T (corresponding author), Aalto Univ, Sch Elect Engn, Dept Informat & Commun Engn, Espoo, Finland.", "Email Addresses": "tapio.savunen@aalto.fi", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 79.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 1.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 1.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 2.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 7.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

Our database ranges from 2004 to the end of 2020. First, operators' market shares are presented and analysed. Second, we build concentration indexes and other indicators of competitiveness. Finally, we conduct an econometric analysis to determine the extent to which regulatory measures, privatization, market structure and the population dimension determine market shares. Overall, we can argue that, although concentration remains high, the market has become more competitive since the liberalization process began. The statistical analysis and the econometric assessment show that the entrance of the third operator made the market more competitive. Indeed, there is evidence that operator companies competed to capture customers from each other during the period under study.

Examples include sleep trackers, fitness trackers, continuous glucose monitors, and RFID-enabled implants, with many additional biometric or health surveillance applications in development or envisioned. These data are included in growing stockpiles of personal health data (PHI) being mined for insight by health economists, policy analysts, researchers, and health system organizations. Dominant narratives position these highly personal data as valuable resources to transform healthcare, stimulate innovation in medical research, and engage individuals in their health and healthcare. Large tech companies are also increasingly implicated in these areas, through mobile health application sales and data acquisitions. Given the many possible uses and users for PGHD, ensuring privacy, security, and equity of benefits from PGHD will be challenging. This is due in part to disparate regulatory policies and practices across technology firms, health system organizations, and health researchers. Rapid developments with PGHD technologies and the lack of harmonization between regulatory regimes may render existing safeguards to preserve patient privacy and control over their PGHD ineffective, while also failing to guide PGHD-related innovation in socially desirable directions. Using a policy regime lens to explore these challenges, we examine three existing data protection regimes relevant to PGHD in the United States that are currently in tension with one another: federal and state health-sector laws, regulations on data use and reuse for research and innovation, and industry self-regulation of consumer privacy by large tech companies. We argue that harmonization of these regimes is necessary to meet the challenges of PGHD data governance. We next examine emerging governing instruments, identifying three types of structures (organizational, regulatory, technological/algorithmic), which synergistically could help enact needed regulatory oversight while limiting the friction and economic costs of regulation that may hinder innovation. This policy analysis provides a starting point for further discussions and negotiations among stakeholders and regulators to do so.", "Addresses": "[Winter, Jenifer Sunrise] Univ Hawaii Manoa, Sch Commun, 2550 Campus Rd,Crawford 325, Honolulu, HI 96822 USA; [Davidson, Elizabeth] Univ Hawaii Manoa, Shidler Coll Business, Dept Informat Technol Management, 2404 Maile Way, Honolulu, HI 96822 USA", "Affiliations": "University of Hawaii System; University of Hawaii Manoa; University of Hawaii System; University of Hawaii Manoa", "Reprint Addresses": "Winter, JS (corresponding author), Univ Hawaii Manoa, Sch Commun, 2550 Campus Rd,Crawford 325, Honolulu, HI 96822 USA.", "Email Addresses": "jwinter@hawaii.edu; edavidso@hawaii.edu", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "Davidson, Elizabeth/0000-0002-3989-8677; Winter, Jenifer Sunrise/0000-0002-6393-6637", "Funding Orgs": "National Science Foundation [1827592]; Directorate For Engineering; Div Of Electrical, Commun & Cyber Sys [1827592] Funding Source: National Science Foundation", "Funding Name Preferred": "National Science Foundation(National Science Foundation (NSF)); Directorate For Engineering; Div Of Electrical, Commun & Cyber Sys(National Science Foundation (NSF)NSF - Directorate for Engineering (ENG)NSF - Division of Electrical, Communications & Cyber Systems (ECCS))", "Funding Text": "This material is based upon work supported by the National Science Foundation under Grant Number 1827592.

It applies a democratic legitimacy framework originally created to assess the European Union's democratic bona fides - Vivian Schmidt's (2013) modification of Scharpf's (1999) well-known taxonomy of forms of democratic legitimacy - to various representative platform governance proposals and policies. The first section discusses briefly the issue of legitimacy in internet and platform governance, while the second outlines our analytical framework. The second section describes the three forms of legitimacy that, according to this framework, are necessary for democratic legitimation: input, throughput and output legitimacy. The third section demonstrates our framework's utility by applying it to four paradigmatic proposals/regimes: Facebook's Oversight Board (self-governance regimes); adjudication-focused proposals such as the Manila Principles for Intermediary Liability (rule-of-law-focused regimes); the human-rights-focused framework proposed by then-UN Special Rapporteur on the promotion and protection of the right to freedom of opinion and expression; and the United Kingdom's Online Harms White Paper (domestic regime). Section four describes our four main findings regarding the case studies: non-state proposals seem to focus on throughput legitimacy; input legitimacy requirements are frequently under examined; state regulation is usually side-lined as a policy option; and output legitimacy is a limited standard to be adopted in supranational contexts. We conclude that only by considering legitimacy as a multifaceted phenomenon based in democratic accountability will it be possible to design platform-governance models that will not only stand the test of time, but will also be accepted by the people whose lives they affect.", "Addresses": "[Haggart, Blayne] Brock Univ, 1812 Sir Isaac Brock Way, St Catharines, ON L2R 4E4, Canada; [Keller, Clara Iglesias] WZB Berlin Social Sci Ctr, Reichpietschufer 50 D, D-10785 Berlin, Germany", "Affiliations": "Brock University", "Reprint Addresses": "Haggart, B (corresponding author), Brock Univ, 1812 Sir Isaac Brock Way, St Catharines, ON L2R 4E4, Canada.", "Email Addresses": "bhaggart@brocku.ca; clara.keller@wzb.eu", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "Haggart, Blayne/0000-0003-2866-264X", "Funding Orgs": "Social Sciences and the Humanities Research Council of Canada", "Funding Name Preferred": "Social Sciences and the Humanities Research Council of Canada(Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC))", "Funding Text": "This work was supported by the Social Sciences and the Humanities Research Council of Canada.", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 59.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 22.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 23.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 3.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 45.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

We use data from the Reserve Bank of India from 2014 to 2020 to show that the demonetization period brought about a decline in Automatic Teller Machines (ATM) withdrawals. It equally boosted the adoption of digital means of payments, via Point of Sale Terminals (POS) and mobile banking. Since October 2016, the number of POS transactions has risen almost threefold, while the number of ATM transactions has decreased by almost one-fifth. The current government's rhetoric is to promote digitalization as a means of both formalizing the economy and protecting the poor. Its claim is unfortunately highly debatable.", "Addresses": "[Fouillet, Cyril] ESSCA Sch Management, 1 Rue Joseph Lakanal,BP 40348, F-49003 Angers, France; [Guerin, Isabelle] Inst Rech Dev IRD, Paris, France; [Servet, Jean-Michel] Grad Inst Int & Dev Studies IHEID, Geneva, Switzerland; [Servet, Jean-Michel] Lyon 2 Univ, UMR Triangle ENS, Lyon, France", "Affiliations": "ESSCA School of Management; Institut de Recherche pour le Developpement (IRD)", "Reprint Addresses": "Fouillet, C (corresponding author), ESSCA Sch Management, 1 Rue Joseph Lakanal,BP 40348, F-49003 Angers, France.", "Email Addresses": "cyril.fouillet@essca.fr; isabelle.guerin@ird.fr; jean-michel.servet@graduateinstitute.ch", "Researcher Ids": "Guerin, Isabelle/AAU-4398-2021", "ORCIDs": "Fouillet, Cyril/0000-0002-8142-2680", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 77.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 13.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 13.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 4.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 22.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

As extensive datasets including the effect of the current COVID-19 pandemic are still unavailable, this study provides an assessment of the role of digitization at the time of SARS in 2003. Results are robust in pointing out that those countries with better broadband connectivity were able to mitigate some of the economic losses incurred by the pandemic. While anecdotal evidence is plentiful even for COVID-19, this study provides rigorous analysis to support that a reliable telecommunications infrastructure and a high level of digitization is crucial to keep the economy running under pandemic conditions. These results provide valuable evidence for the current context of COVID-19, which has resulted in several national lockdowns around the world. In consequence, we believe that the public and private sectors must collaborate and work together to promote the enhancement of the digital ecosystem. In the long run, a suitable regulatory framework seems crucial to stimulate private investments to close the digital supply gap, as well as promoting the digitization of business process and the training of the workforce to acquire digital skills. In the short term, we discuss several measures that can be taken to accommodate the expected increases in internet traffic in such circumstances and maintain the quality of service.", "Addresses": "[Katz, Raul] Columbia Univ, Columbia Inst Teleinformat, New York, NY 10027 USA; [Jung, Juan] Univ Complutense Madrid, Econ Anal Dept, Madrid, Spain; [Callorda, Fernando] Univ La Matanza, Dept Econ, San Justo, Argentina", "Affiliations": "Columbia University; Complutense University of Madrid", "Reprint Addresses": "Katz, R (corresponding author), Columbia Univ, Columbia Inst Teleinformat, New York, NY 10027 USA.", "Email Addresses": "raul.katz@teleadvs.com", "Researcher Ids": "Jung, Juan/AAA-6746-2020; Katz, Raul/HJH-8316-2023", "ORCIDs": "Jung, Juan/0000-0002-7996-0965; Katz, Raul/0000-0001-7729-7891", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 35.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 27.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 29.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 1.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 46.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

One of the most (apparently) dramatic reversals of this trend has occurred in Australia where the federal government has set up a state-owned company (NBN Co) to fully replace and upgrade the fixedline infrastructure for voice and broadband communications for the entire country. Some argued that the NBN heralded a reversal of a failed, neoliberal deregulation and pro-competition policy agenda in Australia, and a return to social democratic values. The NBN has attracted interest as a possible model for other governments looking to fund broadband infrastructure. The NBN Co's network is nearing completion. It has proved disappointing in many ways, with costs escalations, missed deadlines and a downscaling of the original full-fibre footprint to a mixed technology model (MTM). It has also proved politically divisive, with some claiming the MTM changes represent the reassertion of a neoliberal political agenda. In this paper, we trace the evolution of the fixed-line telecommunications industry in Australia from the 1980s to the present along the dimensions of privatisation, deregulation and competition in voice, broadband and policy settings. We find that contrary to popular political rhetoric, the Australian industry reforms have been characterised by only a partial and inconsistent progression towards the international policy objectives. In particular, ongoing government ownership of the incumbent created perverse incentives for both regulatory and industry actors and ensured political involvement in import network investment and operations decisions which in other jurisdictions are delegated to private-sector owners and regulators at arms-length from political influence. We contend that the NBN was not a social democratic response to failed neoliberal policies, nor was the MTM a neoliberal reassertion. Rather, the politicisation of the NBN is a function of the inability to decentralise ownership and control of the industry away from the government. These issues will continue to dominate the Australian debate, as the statutory context requires the privatisation of the NBN within five years of its projected 2021 completion. Extreme caution is warranted for jurisdictions looking to the NBN model for guidance.", "Addresses": "[Howell, Bronwyn E.] Victoria Univ Wellington, Sch Management, Wellington, New Zealand; [Howell, Bronwyn E.; Potgieter, Petrus H.] Inst Technol & Network Econ, Pretoria, South Africa; [Potgieter, Petrus H.] Univ South Africa, Dept Decis Sci, Pretoria, South Africa", "Affiliations": "Victoria University Wellington; University of South Africa", "Reprint Addresses": "Potgieter, PH (corresponding author), Univ South Africa, Dept Decis Sci, Pretoria, South Africa.", "Email Addresses": "bronwyn.howell@vuw.ac.nz; php@grensnut.com", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "Potgieter, Petrus/0000-0003-1785-761X", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 51.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 4.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 4.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 0.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 6.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

A simple question at a time when the advent of AI, automation and robotics claims a privileged position in the future of work. The question is perplexing and confusing however once we enquire into the meaning of technology and work as such: some claim that human jobs and well-being might be threatened by technological advances while others predict an increase in high skilled demand. In short, we claim that standard debates obfuscate the question. That is, while animating the debate, standard arguments are instrumental to avoiding confrontation with the fundamental relation between humans, technology and work, namely, our position regarding what to do with technology and work, i.e. humans are absent in an advancing environment. We propose that focusing debates on the advantages and disadvantages of the development of advanced technology with the potential to do any human task does not necessarily clarify the situation, but rather unveils the obscurity of our relationship with technology by illuminating the lack of clarification.", "Addresses": "[Santos, Sergio; Kissamitaki, Maritsa] Future Synth AS, Uniongata 18, N-3732 Skien, Norway; [Santos, Sergio; Chiesa, Matteo] UiT, Dept Phys & Technol, Arctic Renewable Energy Ctr ARC, Tromso, Norway; [Santos, Sergio] Univ Politecn Catalunya UPC, Dept Engn Mines Ind & TIC EMIT, Av Bases 61, Manresa 08242, Barcelona, Spain; [Chiesa, Matteo] Khalifa Univ Sci & Technol, Lab Energy & NanoSci LENS, Masdar Inst Campus, Abu Dhabi, U Arab Emirates", "Affiliations": "UiT The Arctic University of Tromso; Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya; Khalifa University of Science & Technology", "Reprint Addresses": "Santos, S (corresponding author), Future Synth AS, Uniongata 18, N-3732 Skien, Norway.", "Email Addresses": "ssantos@theopeninstituteofmind.org", "Researcher Ids": "Santos, Sergio/GPS-8751-2022; chiesa, matteo/HZL-1414-2023; chiesa, matteo/H-7521-2015", "ORCIDs": "chiesa, matteo/0000-0001-8170-5288", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 14.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 1.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 1.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 2.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 12.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

To achieve this, this paper adopts the perspective of the economic theory of the firm to systematically explore the changes that AI brings to the institution of the firm. In total, five interrelated propositions are discussed that are rooted in the traditional theory but trace the nature of the Artificially Intelligent Firm: AI intensifies the effects of economic rationality on the firm (1).

Concerning demand side factors the paper demonstrates how potential market size and existing technology trajectory work in favor of IoT diffusion. As a related demand side factor the paper argues that, in terms of the technological trajectory, China has started farther from the frontier than most industrialized countries. The degree of incremental benefit from the IoT is thus higher in the country. As to the supply side factors, the article promotes an understanding of how Chinese technology companies have capitalized on a huge user base to develop IoT-based applications. It also suggests that technologies and expertise provided by foreign multinationals have also played crucial roles. Regarding formal institutions, the government's proactive policies have been a major factor in the IoT's evolution. It is also in the Chinese government's interest to develop IoT products to make censorship and surveillance more effective. Regarding informal institutions, Chinese consumers are less concerned than Westerners about being tracked and monitored, which provides a favorable condition for the adoption of IoT-enabled devices. Nonetheless, this condition is changing due to increasing abuse of consumer privacy. China and the U.S. are compared in terms of diffusion, key determinants, performance indicators and impacts of the IoT in order to understand the areas that China outperforms-and underperform-the U.S. Some indicators are proposed to gauge the IoT-related performance and the impacts of the IoT.", "Addresses": "[Kshetri, Nir] Univ North Carolina Greensboro, Bryan Sch Business & Econ, Bryan Bldg,Room 368,POB 26165, Greensboro, NC 27402 USA", "Affiliations": "University of North Carolina; University of North Carolina Greensboro", "Reprint Addresses": "Kshetri, N (corresponding author), Univ North Carolina Greensboro, Bryan Sch Business & Econ, Bryan Bldg,Room 368,POB 26165, Greensboro, NC 27402 USA.", "Email Addresses": "nbkshetr@uncg.edu", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 167.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 68.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 72.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 12.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 89.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

While EU's regulatory policy towards NGA originally has been falling somewhere between the first two, the recent developments affirm the influence of long-standing conventional approach over the emerging NGA platforms, and related competition and investment strategies. While US experience clearly exhibits full deregulation, some other countries' (e.g., Turkey, Brazil) NGA policy decisions represent an approach corresponding to the third category in general. This study mainly focuses on the EU's regulatory history from the beginning till its current NGA strategy under the light of 2010 and 2013 Recommendations with an emphasis on recent pricing policy adopted by the latter. In the paper, after examining EU regulatory perspective and broadband market indicators in general, 'ladder of investment' theory which has driven growth of EU investment policies, was found having limited success and stuck to LLU rung. This study, putting an emphasis to 2020 Digital Agenda targets, focuses on price-based investment trade-offs, and in lieu of such trade-off policies proposes larger scale optimisation displacing the historical regulatory access and pricing schemes that are vulnerable and exposed to regulatory commitment and dynamic consistency problems. It is considered that rather than 2013 Recommendation's way of fine-tuning over conventional wisdom of regulation, an overhaul consisting of some elements derivable from regulatory holiday - as is found preferable to full deregulation - is applicable under certain conditions, particularly symmetric obligations for sharing civil engineering infrastructure.

Its aggressive marketing and data collection practices, however, have placed Facebook at the center of public policy debates over consumer privacy in the Big Data era. This paper explores those controversial practices, focusing especially on their effects on youth. More than 80% of teens use social media, which have become an essential arena for Personal and social development, and which may well be altering some of young peoples' behavior patterns. But except for a handful of studies (mostly published in marketing journals) the growing body of academic literature on social media and youth has ignored the role of marketplace forces. Yet economic imperatives and powerful e-commerce business models are fueling the growth of these new platforms, shaping their structures and operations, and both responding to and influencing user behaviors. The driving force behind the growth of social media-and, indeed, all digital media-is a complex set of data collection, tracking, and targeting systems that monitor and monetize individual users' behaviors as well as their interactions with friends and acquaintances. Facebook's marketing, data collection, tracking, and targeting operations are specially attuned to key aspects of adolescent development, both tapping into young peoples' needs and taking advantage of their unique vulnerabilities. Because of adolescents' emotional volatility and their tendency to act impulsively, they are more vulnerable than adults to such techniques as real-time bidding, location targeting (especially when the user is near a point of purchase), and dynamic creative ads tailored to their individual profile and behavioral patterns. Given the unique role that digital media play in the lives of young people, new strategies will be required to ensure that their privacy is enshrined as a fundamental right. One way to accomplish this is to develop a set of Fair Information and Marketing Principles for Children and Teens, drawn from the long-established and well-recognized Fair Information Privacy Practices. These principles should take into account the unique needs and vulnerabilities of youth, and be designed to balance the ability of young people to participate fully in the contemporary media culture as producers, consumers, and citizens with the governmental and industry obligation to ensure they are not subjected to unfair, manipulative, and deceptive data collection and marketing practices. In order to achieve these goals, advocacy organizations, educators, parents, scholars, and youth need to work together as part of a broad, social movement, making privacy for children and youth part of the larger policy agenda on behalf of all consumers and citizens.

Similarities and differences are highlighted by comparisons within the broadband ecosystem framework: government functions, histories, people's perceptions, regulatory approaches, legislative initiatives, and implementation. In Korea, a regulatory framework with suggested guidelines exists, and it can be used to address net neutrality in a case-by-case fashion. The U.S. follows a regulatory approach by creating enforceable non-discrimination rules. The findings in this study suggest that the issue is not only complicated because it is embedded contextually, but also because the respective parties' diverse interests are multifaceted and vague. It is concluded, therefore, that a coherent and consistent approach is an effective way to govern neutrality. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd.

For this, we employ official data covering the period 2006-2009. Our analysis shows that although the EU is the largest economy of the world, it is the least ICT-specialised economy of all six major ICT economies. The USA is clearly the top global player in ICT in many respects. In both ICT Manufacturing and ICT Services it has the largest Value Added, BERD, BERD intensity and labour productivity. We further observe that China has, by far, the largest number of employees in both ICT Manufacturing and Services, while its level of ICT BERD remains low. China is however an emerging economy and economic indicators of its ICT sector have strongly grown from 2006 to 2009. Japan's ICT sector has a larger weight in the national economy than those of the USA, EU, and China. Moreover, it is the country from which the highest number of ICT patent applications originate.

We show that in the first stage of market liberalization the regulator has to balance between static efficiency and investment and that the optimal access price may be above marginal cost. In the second stage, two different outcomes are possible. If entrants tend to underinvest, the regulator balances between static efficiency and investment If entrants tend to overinvest, the regulator sets the access price as low as possible in order to prevent or limit infrastructure duplication. Interestingly, we find that in the third stage of market liberalization the regulator may decide to promote infrastructure duplication and to set the access price above the price in the first stage of market liberalization, even if telecommunications network operators tend to overinvest in infrastructure duplication.

A key feature of the auction design proposed by the regulator TRAI is the benchmarking of the reserve price of 1800 MHz to the price of 2100-3G spectrum revealed in the 2010 auction. In the context of the low number of LTE devices available and the fragmentation in the 1800 MHz band, this paper proposes reducing the duration of spectrum holding to ten years (from the current level of twenty years), and calibrating the reserve price of 1800 MHz with its value with GSM deployment. An economic model is used to compute the value of startup and incremental 1800 MHz spectrum. The estimated values are shown to differ from the value of 2100 MHz spectrum at a pan-India level and also in their distribution across circles. A new set of reserve prices are computed based on the estimation. The estimated values are also shown to be close to the AGR-adjusted price revealed in the 2001 auction. A reserve price based on the 2001 auction is also provided. Concomitant features of the auction are suggested to give coherence to the auction design. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd.

The analysis revealed the following results. First, consumers are more willing to pay to retain voice communication services than data transmission services. Second, customers accept Internet Protocol telephony as a substitute for plain old telephone service (POTS) as a universal service, and they are willing to pay much more than Japan's current Universal Service Fund charge. Third, even when mobile phone service (MOB) is available, consumers will pay to retain fixed-line voice services. Finally, consumers have an equal desire to keep fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) and fixed-line voice services, but it is less than the demand for MOB. Thus, under the present definition of POTS as a universal service, FTTH could be considered as a basic telecommunication service. (c) 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

A goal of the present work is also to gain insights into the mechanisms and forces that have brought about institutional changes in the cloud industry. Specifically, they investigate how contradictions generated at various levels by the technology, the formation of dense networks and relationships and the changing power dynamics have triggered institutional changes.

However, uncertainties from technologies, business models and regulatory policies hinder the take-off of TV white spaces exploitation. This paper proposes a bicameral (or two-chambered) geo-location database, which allows/supports both free and paid access to the TV white spaces: i.e., one chamber supports free access through opportunistic or geo-location database access; and the other chamber supports paid usage through secondary spectrum trading. Consequently, four technological scenarios for the acquisition of TV white spaces emerge, namely: sensing only, joint sensing and geo-location database access, geo-location database access only, and broker based secondary spectrum trading. An analysis of these scenarios is performed based on a theoretical framework for emerging technology evaluation while considering technological, business models and regulatory dimensions. The analyses show that free and paid access to TV white space complement each other; and that despite considerable infrastructure costs, the bicameral geo-location database is positioned to create viable TV white spaces exploitation value chains; hence have the most optimal technological, business and regulatory prospects.

To aid policy makers in promoting green ICT at the national level, this paper proposes a comprehensive understanding of green ICT from the perspective of green innovation and develops an analytical framework based on innovation system approaches. Following the framework, policy makers can identify the critical system failures of a green ICT innovation system by assessing the key structural components of the system and, hence, formulate policies to solve them. The framework is used to analyze the green ICT innovation system in China. The findings indicate several critical system failures that hamper the development and diffusion of green ICT in China. Accordingly, policies are suggested to address the failures. This paper aids in the understanding of green ICT and contributes to the development of systematic approaches to formulating green ICT strategies. The Chinese experiences provide practical implications, which can be considered by other countries for reference. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

While both cases can not be classified as purely peer-produced security, the two cases of incident response examined here do show some of the characteristics of peer production. By applying certain institutional techniques, the communities balance their need for secrecy with their need to widely share information. The paper concludes with an explanatory model for the observed results. For appropriate policy outcomes, it suggests greater consideration of the role of social production by researchers and designers of the organisation of Internet security. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

Considerable interest is being shown in wireless broadband, especially in low income and rural areas. This study focuses on the direct effect (broadband penetration as an input), and separately, the productive efficiency effect of broadband (as an information network externality), using a model developed in Thompson and Garbacz (2007). Aggregate fixed and mobile broadband usage and their effect are analyzed and compared first on a sample of forty-three countries with sufficient data. The same models are used on samples of high income and low income countries. It is hypothesized that the rapid growth of broadband could have a stronger effect for low income countries and their initial levels of network development. Key variables are adjusted to a per household basis, using information on household size. Due to the endogeneity of key variables, instrumental variables are employed to estimate separate equations for mobile broadband and fixed broadband. Predicted values for these variables are used in the final equations in order to adjust for endogeneity and omitted variable bias. The results of the model estimated for the full sample indicate that mobile broadband has an important direct effect on GDP, but fixed broadband has an effect no different than zero. In the models with high and low income samples it is apparent that low income countries derive significantly more benefit from mobile broadband. Estimates from the Stochastic Frontier Model find mobile broadband to be a significant driver of growth via a reduction of inefficiency. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd.

Only recently the Colombian government has started to seriously address the need to deploy a plan for rapid and effective broadband growth, adding to the worldwide wave of government planned investments on fibre-optic broadband access expansion. This paper analyses the current state of the Colombian government's broadband plan, named Vive Digital, comparing its proposed actions with the plans and achievements of three OECD countries' experiences on broadband policies. Several aspects, either collectively or individually, from the three international cases are used as guidelines of what an integrated, efficient broadband policy may be. The analysis takes consideration of the contextual differences between the studied cases for the benefit of identifying the strengths and weaknesses of the Colombian plan, and is focused on the incentive structure needed to advance the development of infrastructure, services, applications and user involvement.

After postponing several times, China awarded three third generation cellular licenses in January 2009: a TD-SCDMA license to China Mobile, a CDMA 2000 license to China Telecom and a WCDMA license to China Unicorn. The Chinese government has demonstrated a clear bias in favor of TD-SCDMA. This article examines the role of formal and informal institutions in shaping the Chinese 3G landscape. This paper makes two contributions to the literature. First, this work extends studies on institutional theory focusing on standardization to the context of China. Second, unlike most ICT research which deals with standards originated in the West, this paper's focus on developing country-originated standard provides novel and unique insights related to institutional processes.

It applies the methodology to the Optimus-TMN mobile telecom merger case in Portugal, within the context of the December 2006 decision by the Portuguese Competition Authority to authorize the merger between their respective parent companies. Sonaecom and Portugal Telecom. The results suggest that the Optimus-TMN merger would have resulted in 3.8% higher prices and 14.9% lower marginal costs, and would have been welfare-enhancing. These findings attest to the importance of the efficiency defense hypothesis of mergers. They suggest that competition authorities are warranted in allowing further consolidation in the telecom sector, but that consolidation should be accompanied by strict retail price-cap regulation.

The proposed model is suitable for the case of countries, especially developing countries, with limited data. The calculations and analysis give three main results. Firstly, the scale of Vietnam's core economy has increased rapidly over the past 14 years. In 2007, the share of the core economy in GDP was only 1.45%. In 2019, this number increased to 7.08%. Second, the scale of Vietnam's digitalized economy grew significantly from 2007 to 2019. In 2007-2011, the digitalized economy accounted for 4.90% of GDP. This number increased to 11.56% for the period 2016-2019. Third, the growth of the digitalized economy is mainly based on the growth of the core digital economy. Therefore, the digital spillover effect in Vietnam's digitalized economy during the 13 years has only slightly changed. This study implies that Vietnam needs policies to develop the core digital economy and especially promote digital transformation to achieve the national digitalized economy goal of 20% of GDP by 2025 and 30% by 2030, respectively.", "Addresses": "[Duc, Dang Thi Viet; Phong, Bui Xuan] Posts & Telecommun Inst Technol, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam; [Dat, Tran Tho] Natl Econ Univ, Hanoi, Vietnam; [Linh, Dang Huyen] Minist Planning & Investment, Hanoi, Vietnam; [Duc, Dang Thi Viet] 94 Tran Phu St, Hanoi, Vietnam", "Affiliations": "National Economics University - Vietnam", "Reprint Addresses": "Duc, DTV (corresponding author), 94 Tran Phu St, Hanoi, Vietnam.", "Email Addresses": "ducdtv@ptit.edu.vn", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "", "Funding Orgs": "Posts and Telecommunications Institute of Technology, Hanoi, Vietnam", "Funding Name Preferred": "Posts and Telecommunications Institute of Technology, Hanoi, Vietnam", "Funding Text": "The study is funded by the Posts and Telecommunications Institute of Technology, Hanoi, Vietnam.", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 42.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 0.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 0.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 8.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 8.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "London", "Publisher Address": "125 London Wall, London, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

Simultaneously, the regulatory drivers that occasioned a differential treatment of TSP in their role as providers of essential utility communication services are converging with the features observed with respect to certain CAPs.

This approach, that departs from the traditional dichotomy between horizontal and vertical policies, has some desirable features that we highlight, but also raises some challenges. We focus on the key role these policies may play in drawing attention on demand and adoption patterns, especially if the implications of the GPT features of 5G and 6G are explicitly taken into account. The analysis suggests that much more emphasis should be given to demand-side innovation policies along with standard policies directed at final demand, to improving the vertical governance of EU policies so as to fully capture the technological opportunities key technologies open up and to the explicit consideration of the trade-offs behind the concrete implementation of this sort of policies.", "Addresses": "[Rossi, Maria Alessandra] Univ G dAnnunzio, Dept Econ Studies, Pescara, Italy; [Rossi, Maria Alessandra] Ctr Digital Soc, European Univ Inst, Robert Schuman Ctr Adv Studies, Rome, Italy", "Affiliations": "G d'Annunzio University of Chieti-Pescara; European University Institute", "Reprint Addresses": "Rossi, MA (corresponding author), Univ G dAnnunzio, Dept Econ Studies, Pescara, Italy.;Rossi, MA (corresponding author), Ctr Digital Soc, European Univ Inst, Robert Schuman Ctr Adv Studies, Rome, Italy.", "Email Addresses": "alessandra.rossi@unich.it", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 56.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 0.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 0.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 5.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 5.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "London", "Publisher Address": "125 London Wall, London, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

However, because 6G technology has a very wide range of applications as a fundamental technology, 6G service scenario research is also being conducted for each sector. To predict 6G technology use in the future, it is necessary to understand comprehensively the scenarios being studied sporadically by sector. Therefore, we aim to derive major service scenarios by analyzing in-depth public data for 6G service scenarios. We collected research papers, corporate reports, and news articles on 6G service scenarios and performed topic modeling to derive four major domains and 16 application areas. Afterward, the derived service's feasibility and promising scenario were evaluated by utilizing the future-context canvas and business model canvas that analyze the service's value from the user's and supplier's perspectives, respectively.

From a merger policy perspective, our contribution is two-fold. First, we conclude that mergers may benefit consumers even in the absence of any cost-related efficiencies and establish under which circumstances this is more likely to occur. Second, our results also indicate that when the merger has a negative impact on consumer surplus, remedies based on reallocation of spectrum are not very likely to change this outcome. The reason is that the circumstances under which the merger is unlikely to benefit consumers are precisely those under which spectrum reallocation will be unable to fix merger-induced anticompetitive effects.", "Addresses": "[Brito, Duarte] Univ NOVA Lisboa, Nova Sch Business & Econ, Campus Carcavelos, P-2775405 Carcavelos, Portugal; [Brito, Duarte] Univ NOVA Lisboa, Nova Sch Sci & Technol, Dept Appl Social Sci DCSA, Campus Caparica, P-2829516 Caparica, Portugal; [Vasconcelos, Helder] Univ Porto, Fac Econ, CEFUP, Porto, Portugal; [Vasconcelos, Helder] Compass Lexecon, Madrid, Spain", "Affiliations": "Universidade Nova de Lisboa; Universidade Nova de Lisboa; Universidade do Porto", "Reprint Addresses": "Brito, D (corresponding author), Univ NOVA Lisboa, Nova Sch Business & Econ, Campus Carcavelos, P-2775405 Carcavelos, Portugal.", "Email Addresses": "dmb@fct.unl.pt", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 24.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 0.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 0.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 2.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 2.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "London", "Publisher Address": "125 London Wall, London, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, many countries accelerated their digital transformation processes, and it is widely believed the COVID-19 pandemic has deepened existing inequalities in the digital realm. Yet, few studies have empirically examined whether digital inequalities in the labor market increased during the pandemic. This analysis studies how the COVID-19 pandemic affected Chinese workers' Internet usage and how this influence varied across socioeconomic groups. By using the ordered probit model and leveraging the most recent data from the China Family Panel Studies and the Johns Hopkins Coronavirus Resource Center, we find that the pandemic significantly increased the overall level of Internet usage in the country, and the mediating effects of the perceived importance of the Internet and access to the Internet are confirmed. As Internet usage increased, digital inequalities in China's labor market deepened, especially among young and wealthy workers with high social status in urban areas, while older and poorer workers in rural areas benefited less from this new 'digital wave.' Moreover, during the pandemic, Internet usage increased among employees working in state-owned enterprises (SOEs), which suggests a growing digital inequality gap between SOEs and other sectors. Following a series of robustness tests, our research findings remain valid. We propose a policy redesign that embodies a comprehensive long-term vision and guarantees raising the levels of Internet usage for socially and economically disadvantaged groups in China.", "Addresses": "[Shao, Qinglong; Kostka, Genia] Free Univ Berlin, Inst Chinese Studies, Fabeckstr 23-25, D-14195 Berlin, Germany", "Affiliations": "Free University of Berlin", "Reprint Addresses": "Shao, QL (corresponding author), Free Univ Berlin, Inst Chinese Studies, Fabeckstr 23-25, D-14195 Berlin, Germany.", "Email Addresses": "qinglong.shao@fu-berlin.de", "Researcher Ids": "Shao, Qinglong/AAZ-1682-2020", "ORCIDs": "Shao, Qinglong/0000-0003-1636-7045", "Funding Orgs": "Alexander von Humboldt Foundation [CHN 1194898 HFST-P]; European Research Council Starting Grant [852169]", "Funding Name Preferred": "Alexander von Humboldt Foundation(Alexander von Humboldt Foundation); European Research Council Starting Grant(European Research Council (ERC))", "Funding Text": "Qinglong Shao gratefully acknowledges funding from the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation (Grant No. CHN 1194898 HFST-P).

South Korea, a developed country in terms of fixed broadband penetration, implemented two policies for rural broadband via fiber access networks simultaneously during the COVID-19 pandemic. One is the universal broadband service at 100 Mbps speed introduced in 2020, and the other is the rural broadband project in terms of a public-private partnership (PPP) that proceeded from August 2020 to 2022. While both policies contribute to reducing the broadband gap between the urban and the rural in the country, it is still important to find the optimal cost-effective combination of the plural rural policies as much as possible from the cost perspective. Accordingly, this study proposes an investment cost estimation model for deploying rural broadband via fiber networks in South Korea and evaluates whether implementing two rural broadband policies in the country is cost-effective. The proposed model is designed according to the bottom-up approach, which involves building an efficient network with the latest technologies; thus, it gives a more accurate and reliable estimation of the investment cost of building rural broadband in the South Korean territory. The significant findings of this study are twofold. First, the PPP-based project could make the participating internet service providers (ISPs) deploy broadband at a cost-effective level, similar or lower to the universal service, and then recover the investment cost per build-ing within a reasonable period. Thus, the result implies that governments need to consider the PPP-based project as an effective measure to deploy rural broadband, in addition to the intro-duction of universal service. Implementing multiple broadband policies to expand rural broad-band coverage could be a reasonable and practical approach to improving broadband availability. Second, the governments still needs to make efforts to solve the complicated difficulties in rural areas in South Korea where rural-related broadband policies are still challenging to implement. This study confirmed that in some regions, the PPP-based project was still inferior to universal service in terms of average investment cost. In contrast, universal service had significant con-straints to providing broadband because of the end-users cost burden, resulting in low broadband adoption. Therefore, the government needs to consider some measures to increase broadband availability and broadband adoption, such as widening the rural areas under the jurisdiction of participating ISPs, decreasing the proportion of participating ISPs bearing the investment cost of deploying broadband, and improving the cost burden of the end-users of universal service in some limited areas.", "Addresses": "[Lee, Hyeongjik; Jeong, Seonkoo; Lee, Kwanghee] Elect & Telecommun Res Inst, Technol Policy Res Div, 218 Gajeongno, Daejeon 305700, South Korea", "Affiliations": "Electronics & Telecommunications Research Institute - Korea (ETRI)", "Reprint Addresses": "Lee, H (corresponding author), Elect & Telecommun Res Inst, Technol Policy Res Div, 218 Gajeongno, Daejeon 305700, South Korea.", "Email Addresses": "hyeongjiklee@etri.re.kr; skj0102@etri.re.kr; lkh@etri.re.kr", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 29.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 1.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 1.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 3.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 15.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

This gap means we lack information about the trajectory of broadband deployment in tribal areas. It also means we lack comparative information about the similarities or differences in the trajectory of broadband deployment in tribal areas compared to non-tribal areas (e.g. urban and rural areas). To address this gap in our knowledge, this study utilizes longitudinal tract data constructed from information in the FCC Form 477 database to analyze broadband provision in tribal areas from 2014 to 2020. Empirical results show that rural tribes may be falling further behind the rest of the nation in broadband provision, while metropolitan tribal areas now enjoy better provision levels, on average, than their non-tribal counterparts. Additionally, the nuances of broadband distributions across tribal, rural, and urban areas make clear that a one-size-fits-all policy to aid tribal communities is inappropriate to address these and other related challenges. This is especially true as concerns about the intersection of federal broadband policy with tribal sovereignty and self-determination emerge.", "Addresses": "[Mack, Elizabeth A.] Michigan State Univ, Dept Geog Environm & Spatial Sci, E Lansing, MI 48824 USA; [Helderop, Edward; Grubesic, Tony H.] Univ Texas Austin, Sch Informat, Austin, TX 78701 USA; [Keene, Thomas; Loveridge, Scott; Mann, John] Michigan State Univ, Dept Agr Food & Resource Econ, E Lansing, MI 48824 USA; [Kowalkowski, Brian; Gollnow, Miranda] Coll Menominee Nat, N172 Hwy 47-55, Keshena, WI 54135 USA", "Affiliations": "Michigan State University; University of Texas System; University of Texas Austin; Michigan State University", "Reprint Addresses": "Mack, EA (corresponding author), Michigan State Univ, Dept Geog Environm & Spatial Sci, E Lansing, MI 48824 USA.", "Email Addresses": "emack@msu.edu; edward.helderop@gmail.com; keenetho@msu.edu; loverid2@msu.edu; mannjoh3@msu.edu; grubesic@austin.utexas.edu; bkowalkowski@menominee.edu; mgollnow@menominee.edu", "Researcher Ids": "Grubesic, Tony H/C-4273-2012", "ORCIDs": "Mann, John/0000-0002-0665-350X; Keene, Thomas/0000-0003-3570-3964; Loveridge, Scott/0000-0002-8067-4819", "Funding Orgs": "United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) National Institute of Food and Agriculture, AFRI competitive grant [2020-67023-30958]", "Funding Name Preferred": "United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) National Institute of Food and Agriculture, AFRI competitive grant", "Funding Text": "\\This research was funded by a grant from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) National Institute of Food and Agriculture, AFRI competitive grant 2020-67023-30958.", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 67.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 3.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 4.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 1.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 8.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

One of these challenges is the growing quantity of food demand, which is highly vital for regional trade, food security, and meeting the nutritious requirements of the population. A timely prediction with accuracy about crop yield could be valuable for greater food production and maintainability of sustainable agricultural growth. This paper presents a predictive model of wheat production using machine learning. The northern areas of Pakistan which grow wheat are selected as a case study due to their importance in the country's agricultural sector. We collected data of five years and selected the best attribute subset related to crop production. We applied twelve (12) algorithms by dividing data samples into three sets. Experimental results helped to shortlist three algorithms for the final analysis i.e. Sequential Minimal Optimization Regression (SMOreg), Multilayer Processing (MLP) and Gaussian Process (GP). The Root Mean Square (RMSE) and Percentage Absolute Difference (PAD) metrics were used to validate the results. The SMOreg obtained the lowest PAD (0.0093) and RMSE (0.5552) values. MLP was a little closer with second-lowest PAD (0.0116) and RMSE (0.737) value. The performance of GP was found lowest due to higher PAD (0.2203) and RMSE (17.7423) values.

This paper contributes to evaluating this policy option by providing detailed empirical estimates of the influence of co-investment on Fiber to the Home (FTTH) adoption and competition in the French fixed broadband market. We combine several French municipality level datasets and use a two-stage control-function approach to correct for the endogeneity of investor entry. We show that the presence of co-investment leads to an increase of 7.9% in FTTH adoption in 2018. Co-investment offers also enhance competition. Co-investment by competitors causes a decrease in Orange, French incumbent operator, total retail broadband market penetration by 5.9% whereas no co-investment by competitors lets Orange's total retail broadband market penetration unchanged.

First, comparing the different effects of ICT on financial development between the high-income group and the middle- & low-income group, telephone and Internet positively influences both groups' financial development, whereas mobile cellular causes a negative effect in high-income countries, but a positive effect in middle- & low-income countries. Second, the growth of the Internet and telephones raises the financial development in all regions, while mobile cellular growth positively affects financial development only in Africa.

Based on a top-down financial model to estimate the costs of fiber deployment, this analysis shows that these four innovations pursued by Google Fiber, and now adopted on a widespread basis by other broadband providers, lower the costs of building residential Gigabit networks, and therefore can improve the prospects for new entry of service providers of residential broadband services.

While with traditional electronic communications services (ECS) economic theory and consumer interests align as regards interoperability since multi-homing across various operators is the exemption, it is not yet clear whether that is also true for NI-ICS for which multi-homing is the norm. Our paper draws on an online survey of n = 2044 consumers in Germany covering traditional ECS, email and 22 other NI-ICS to address this issue from a consumer point of view. We find that people proactively use the boundaries between communications services to compartmentalize their social contacts according to relationship closeness. Our finding echoes indications provided in a rich stream of computer-mediated communication (CMC) research and in particular psychological theories of relationship development. Specifically, people appear to follow a finely tuned cultural code implying a hierarchical order of communications services used depending on the closeness of the contacts. Consequently, our results provide a complementary explanation of how and why certain groups of social ties converge to a specific (set of) communications service(s) beyond network effects and shed a critical light on current policy debates around an interoperability obligation for interpersonal communications applications.

We have employed the robust two-step system GMM. Results showed that growth in mobile phone penetration has contributed significantly to the GDP per capita of the region after controlling for a number of other variables. A 10% increase in mobile phone penetration results in a 1.2% change in GDP per capita. Therefore, improving access to mobile phones will play a critical role in reducing the poverty level of the region through raising the per capita income of the population. However, the Internet has not contributed to the per capita GDP during the study period. The insignificant impact of the Internet could be due to low penetration of the technology, low ICT skill of Internet users, lack of or insufficient local content on the global network, and the relatively immature state of the technology in the region. Therefore, governments and other stake-holders should design policies that encourage expansion of the Internet. In addition to improving Internet access, policies which focus on ICT skill development and local content creation should also be designed and implemented.", "Addresses": "", "Affiliations": "", "Reprint Addresses": "", "Email Addresses": "haftugirts@gmail.com", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 51.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 98.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 102.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 7.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 50.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

The new model classifies e-Government development into four stages: Bureaucratic model, Information management model, Participatory model, and Governance model. This paper also attempted to apply this model to e-government practices in Korea on the flow of time. E-government in Korea has mainly shown features of one distinct type at a time among four stages, as so far explained above. In this case, the former stage developed to the next level after going through the process of maturation in advancement of ICT and social maturity and political stability. This paper defined the 'smart society' as the highly-advanced information society from the Korean case study. Instead of literally interpreting the term 'smart', it should be comprehensively re-interpreted as a new academic term that reflects perspectives of social and technological changes, introducing new meanings. The definition and concept or the maturity level of the smart society shall be left for the future study suggestions. We have so far analyzed the characteristics of progressing toward the smart society based on Korea's cases of e-government development. The analysis, though started from certain cases of Korea, will be an applicable model to other countries as well, since Korea is in the leading group in terms of informatization. This paper is distinguished from the other studies because it is an analytical study on the non-technological factors of e-government development: especially focused on the political, socio-economic aspects of e-government. Despite the contribution mentioned above, this paper also has an academic limitation on the generalization of findings because of its a single case study on the Korea. So we will try to explain and analyze the other countries' cases with the research framework: E-Government Maturity Model based on Socio-political Development of this paper in the next studies. So, this model will be expected to be generally expandable and applicable to e-government cases of other countries.", "Addresses": "[Sangki, Jin] Natl Assembly Korea, Seoul, South Korea", "Affiliations": "", "Reprint Addresses": "Sangki, J (corresponding author), Natl Assembly Korea, Seoul, South Korea.", "Email Addresses": "wooyul10@gmail.com", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 55.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 27.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 30.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 13.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 79.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

This research studies the interplay between interconnection rates for mobile call termination and the retail price competition for prepaid SIM cards, predominantly chosen by Tunisian consumers. We show that the duopoly was practicing price alignment for off-net calls, and that subsequently, the third provider entering the market sparked a decisive initial price drop associated with the non-reciprocal rate it enjoyed. However, the price war, which benefited consumers, only occurred when the Regulatory Body eliminated differential tariffs between on and off-net calls in the retail market. It follows that, everything else being equal, an interconnection rate drop alone will not lead to a decrease in retail prices.", "Addresses": "[Bouali, Safieddine] Univ Tunis, Management Inst, Dept Econ & Quantitat Methods, 41 Rue Liberte, Le Bardo 2000, Tunisia", "Affiliations": "Universite de Tunis", "Reprint Addresses": "Bouali, S (corresponding author), Univ Tunis, Management Inst, Dept Econ & Quantitat Methods, 41 Rue Liberte, Le Bardo 2000, Tunisia.", "Email Addresses": "Safieddine.Bouali@isg.mu.tn", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "Bouali, Safieddine/0000-0002-4901-0221", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 34.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 0.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 0.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 0.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 3.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

The objective of the study was to identify consumer preferences for the following characteristics of mobile plans: the importance of using the same provider as friends and family (calling club network effects), the market share of the provider (pure network effects), the length of the commitment period, monthly fee/recharge obligations and per minute call charges for calls made within and outside the provider network. A discrete choice experiment was used as a preference elicitation method and implemented in face-to-face interviews. We present results regarding willingness to pay for the described features as well as their relationship to socio-demographic variables. Consumers are willing to pay 1.3 Euro per month more to reduce the commitment period from 1 year to 6 months and willing to pay 2.5 euros per month more to be part of a larger network. Consumers are also twice as much more sensitive to within-network price variations than extra-network price variations. These results remain unchanged in the sub-sample of those that have internet access suggesting that a web based surveys are capable of producing unbiased results. The implications of these results for regulatory policy are discussed.", "Addresses": "[Confraria, Joao; Vasconcelos, Helder] ANACOM, Ave Jose Malhoa 12, P-1099017 Lisbon, Portugal; [Confraria, Joao] Catolica Lisbon Sch Business & Econ Palma de Cima, P-1649023 Lisbon, Portugal; [Ribeiro, Tiago] Indera Estudos Econ Lda, Rua Campo Alegre, P-134601415 Oporto, Portugal; [Ribeiro, Tiago] Univ South Australia, Inst Choice, Level 13,140 Arthur St, Sydney, NSW 2060, Australia; [Vasconcelos, Helder] Fac Econ Porto, Rua Dr Roberto Frias, P-4200464 Oporto, Portugal", "Affiliations": "Universidade Catolica Portuguesa; University of South Australia; Universidade do Porto", "Reprint Addresses": "Ribeiro, T (corresponding author), Indera Estudos Econ Lda, Rua Campo Alegre, P-134601415 Oporto, Portugal.", "Email Addresses": "joao.confraria@anacom.pt; tiago.ribeiro@indera.pt; helder.vasconcelos@anacom.pt", "Researcher Ids": "Vasconcelos, Helder F/B-5966-2009", "ORCIDs": "Vasconcelos, Helder/0000-0002-2584-4352", "Funding Orgs": "Portuguese Public Funds through FCT (Fundacao para a Ciencia e a Tecnologia) [IJID/ECO/04105/2013]", "Funding Name Preferred": "Portuguese Public Funds through FCT (Fundacao para a Ciencia e a Tecnologia)(Fundacao para a Ciencia e a Tecnologia (FCT))", "Funding Text": "We are grateful to the Editor and to two anonymous referees for their thorough and thoughtful reports.

However, there are some particular features of Luxembourg's 'informed follower' mode of market liberalisation, which are sociospatially distinct and therefore warrant investigation. In particular, the government of Luxembourg has sought to proactively intervene in the direct provision of telecommunications services, in the form of two competing but 100% state-owned operators, whilst simultaneously supporting market liberalisation. An understanding of the role of the state in this process is clarified through the conceptual lens of the state as policy-maker, regulator and operator. Through examining the multiple roles performed by the Luxembourgish state in the wider context of the EU telecommunications reform packages, the paper reveals the competitive tension that exists between each of the different arms of the state, that is, between POST and Luxconnect. The paper critically appraises the intertwining decisions, factors and considerations that led to this state-controlled duopoly and analyses the outcomes to date of attempts to liberalise the telecommunications market as well. This analysis of the geographical and historical complexity of the Luxembourgish telecommunications sector helps to reveal the powerful role of the state in market liberalisation.

Taking into account the existing literature on Consumer Complaint Behaviour (CCB), a survey for 4249 individuals in Spain is used for specifying econometric equations that explain the determinants of the complaining decision and the impact that a proper complaint management may have on overall satisfaction. The results suggest that dissatisfaction is not a necessary condition for complaining and that the propensity to complain is different depending on the type of problem experienced by the customer. Another finding is that a proper handling of complaints by the company may constitute a source of improvement in the overall user satisfaction and profitability of the firm. This result is of interest for its implications when designing a company's marketing strategy. Accordingly it seems reasonable to use complaint management as a powerful tool to retain customers.

To measure tariff diversity on a country-level a detailed data set comprising over 1000 fixed-line broadband tariffs is used. An instrumental variable approach is applied to estimate demand, controlling for various industry and socio-economic factors. Our results indicate that service-related and socio-economic factors affect broadband demand the most. An increase in tariff diversity provides a significant impetus to broadband adoption. A positive relationship is indicative of the importance of innovative pricing schemes in expediting the ascent of broadband internet access. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd.

For futuristic cognitive radio (CR) based applications and communication networks, white space detection plays an important role. In fact, the proper white space understanding is a prerequisite for effective communication in support of a wide range of information technology systems. Moreover, by clearly defining the white space, the business and technical scenarios for white space usage can be clearly defined and their implementation will be simplified. Also, the decisions of regulatory bodies and telecommunications policy makers for auctions of particular spectrum bands can be facilitated by a thorough white space understanding. White space detection is a critical aspect of Dynamic Spectrum Access (DSA) which ultimately can help in overcoming bandwidth shortages. A major portion of the DSA research to date has been limited to the dimensions of time, frequency, and geographical location while neglecting other perspectives for the detection of white spaces. Generally, what exactly is a white space and how do white spaces differ in various modern contexts of wireless networks? This paper strives to answer these questions by reviewing the conventional white space definitions and exploring advanced perspectives on white spaces that can be used for CR communications. We propose a novel classification of white spaces based on the combination of three perspectives, namely signal dimension, licence, and transmission strategy, and outline open areas for future research on exploiting white spaces for CR communication.

This paper argues that the conditions required by Coase are gradually achieved by the introduction of Dynamic Spectrum Management (DSM), which enables a dynamic reassignment of spectrum bands at different times and places. DSM reduces the costs associated with spectrum transactions and thus provides an opportunity to enhance efficiency through voluntary transactions. This study analyzes the factors affecting the benefits of a regulatory scheme allowing transactions, compares and quantifies the potential gains associated with different spectrum regimes by employing agent-based simulations and suggests policy implications for spectrum regulation.

The results show that telecommunications contribute 0.33% in the short-run and 0.43% in the long-run to output per worker; a bidirectional causality between capital per worker and output per worker, and unidirectional causality from telecommunications to output per worker, and capital per worker, respectively, are noted.

To alleviate that pressure, major regulatory changes were introduced in several countries in two key areas of spectrum management, namely spectrum assignment and allocation. This paper analyzes those changes and discusses strategies and tactics for deregulating the use of radio spectrum. Spectrum management reforms are considered within the theoretical framework of transition economics, which is concerned with optimal reform speed and sequencing. The paper shows how Anglo-Saxon and European countries have been implementing gradual reforms. Meanwhile, Central American reformers have chosen a fast transition from command-and-control regulation to market mechanisms. Transition economics is used to evaluate the advantages and drawbacks of different spectrum reform strategies. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd.

This paper examines the case of Eircom in Ireland which has experienced five changes in ownership since full privatisation in 1999, two of which were LBOs. Enormous increases in Eircom's debt levels as a result of the LBOs resulted in the company's bankruptcy in 2012. This paper argues that this outcome was largely attributable to the short-termist strategies adopted by the private equity groups that assumed ownership of the enterprise. These strategies included high leverage, cash extraction and underinvestment in the fixed-line network which contributed to the demise of the enterprise and had wider economic and social effects. The Eircom case demonstrates the risks attendant to ownership of important network infrastructure by private equity groups and the need for regulatory safeguards to protect the public interest.

This paper seeks to fill this gap by examining the effects of mobile telecommunications competition on mobile network investment in China. Fixed effects and dynamic panel data models using Chinese regional panel data over the period 2003-2009 show a consistent positive correlation between the mobile market concentration and mobile network investment in the industry. This phenomenon is attributed mainly to the soft budget constraint problem that occurs under asymmetric market competition between state-owned enterprises. It is suggested that the asymmetric competitive structure has been a potential driving force of overinvestment in the mobile network in China; hence, improving the competitive structure by implementing appropriate regulatory policy rather than by policy allowance or inequitable policy burdens would be an effective way to alleviate overinvestment in network facilities. Co-construction and sharing of network infrastructure should be carried out to reduce duplication of infrastructure especially in the coming 3G era of China's telecommunications industry.

Mobile Number Portability (MNP) is an important regulatory measure taken to reduce switching costs, and it is believed to play an important role in fostering competition in the mobile market. MNP implementation has varied significantly across European Union countries, particularly with respect to porting time and customer fees, both of which are important factors when deciding whether to switch to another provider. The research examines the effects of MNP implementation on competition in the European mobile communications industry. The study findings indicate that subscriber churn rates are negatively affected by both the level of charges levied on subscribers wishing to maintain their current number (porting) when switching mobile providers and the length of time required to switch. The implications of the effectiveness of MNP regulation for competition in the mobile communications industry are discussed. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd.

Additionally, prior empirical results and forecasts on the limited disruptive potential of W-LAN for the German MNOs lacked persuasive firm-level evidence to distinguish the real reason for the presented observations and analysis. So far it was unclear whether the observations were caused by successful response strategies of incumbent MNOs or by the inherent limited disruptive potential of the W-LAN technology. For this purpose case studies of three major MNOs in Germany were performed to assess and compare their respective response strategies. Using the theoretical framework of disruptive technology, the results were evaluated in a cross-case analysis to study how these firms interpreted and reacted to the potential disruptiveness of W-LAN. The results indicate significant differences for the respective MNOs between their perception of W-LAN as a potential disruptive technology, their strategic development processes inside the organisation to understand the potential impact of W-LAN on their respective business model, and to enforce an appropriate response strategy and structural implementation. This incumbent heterogeneity depends primarily on their idiosyncratic strategic and structural context. These findings reveal that the incumbent MNOs in Germany were aware of the disruptive technology concept but did not react in a theory-conform way. However, since W-LAN had a sustaining impact on the MNOs and their response strategies followed sustaining reaction patterns, earlier studies, which show a limited disruptive potential of W-LAN for the German MNOs, are supported.

Our analysis reveals that total factor productivity, labor quality, investments in software, and research and development emerge as the primary drivers of growth. Additionally, when compared to the overall manufacturing sector, the ICTM industry has undergone more extensive restructuring in most economies under examination. Moreover, the study highlights a substantial and widespread adverse impact of the 2008-2009 global financial crisis (GFC) and its aftermath on the ICTM industry. In addition, the United States stands out as a leading player in ICTM's productivity performance, resulting in a considerable gap between the EU and the US in this regard, and the US exhibiting stronger resilience in ICTM labor productivity growth during the crisis -affected period, with total factor productivity playing an essential role. Drawing from its findings, the study offers several policy insights to advance the ICT manufacturing industry in industrialized economies.

This paper empirically investigates whether declared standard-essential patents (SEPs) and the declaring firm's business model (operationalized as a firm's location in the value chain) are associated with a firm's innovation investment behavior. To this end, we measure firms' innovation investment behavior through average total research and development (R & D) expenditures per filed patent family for publicly listed firms from 1999 to 2018. Our sample mainly includes major SEP family declarants. We rely on a binary business model taxonomy differentiating upstream and downstream firms. Within that setting, total R & D expenditures rise with increasing fragmentation of declared SEP families, suggesting that firms adjust their R & D investments to declaration developments in standard-setting organizations (SSOs). We also show that upstream firms have significantly lower total R & D expenditures than downstream firms, which could indicate structural differences in their intellectual property (IP) and R & D management processes. Our results can help SSOs and regulators better understand firms' innovation investment behavior.", "Addresses": "[Gamarra, Yanis Luca; Friedl, Gunther] Tech Univ Munich, TUM Sch Management, Munich, Germany; [Gamarra, Yanis Luca] Tech Univ Munich TUM, Chair Management Accounting, TUM Sch Management, Arcisstr 21, D-80333 Munich, Germany", "Affiliations": "Technical University of Munich; Technical University of Munich", "Reprint Addresses": "Gamarra, YL (corresponding author), Tech Univ Munich TUM, Chair Management Accounting, TUM Sch Management, Arcisstr 21, D-80333 Munich, Germany.", "Email Addresses": "yanis.gamarra@tum.de; gunther.friedl@tum.de", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "Gamarra, Yanis Luca/0000-0003-1493-7470", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 85.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 0.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 0.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 15.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 25.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

Netflix's hit series, The Squid Game and Sweet Home, created by South Korean producers, has gained popularity worldwide, enabling Netflix to gain a greater presence in the global markets. Although Netflix has triggered the transformation of local media markets, very few studies have examined its impact, particularly from the perspective of content producers who play a key role in the content creation and development of the over-the-top industry. Accordingly, this study aims to explore their perception of Netflix in terms of the opportunities provided, and the challenges posed to the South Korean media industry. We conducted semi-structured interviews with content producers and employed a core-periphery analysis of social representations.

Countries around the world have devoted unprecedented levels of resources to build up their testing and tracing capabilities, including the development and deployment of smartphone-based applications. Yet despite these nontrivial investments, the body of academic literature evaluating the effects of the smartphone-based applications remains scant and many apps have not delivered the promised benefits (Bano et al. 2021). We contribute to this body of empirical evidence by analysing data on uptake and usage of New Zealand's QR code-based application New Zealand COVID Tracer (NZCT). Our paper uses descriptive statistics and regression analysis to focus on the likelihood of an individual registering to use the application, the likelihood that a registered user will use the application to scan QR codes, and the extent of that usage, measured as the number of codes scanned daily. In addition, we take advantage of the natural experiment'' offered by the decision in August 2021 following the establishment of endemic community transmission of COVID-19 to make use of the application mandatory from 7 September 2021 to assess the effect of this policy on usage. We find that despite increasing numbers of individuals downloading the application over time, the number of active devices and scanning activity was very low, even when community outbreaks occurred (i.e. actual infection risk was higher). Mandating use (separate and distinct from increased infection risk) led to an increase in the number of scans in total via an increase in the number of active devices only.", "Addresses": "[Howell, Bronwyn E.] Victoria Univ Wellington, Sch Management, Wellington, New Zealand; [Howell, Bronwyn E.; Potgieter, Petrus H.] Inst Technol & Network Econ, Dublin, CA USA; [Potgieter, Petrus H.] Univ South Africa, Dept Decis Sci, Pretoria, South Africa", "Affiliations": "Victoria University Wellington; University of South Africa", "Reprint Addresses": "Potgieter, PH (corresponding author), Univ South Africa, Dept Decis Sci, Pretoria, South Africa.", "Email Addresses": "bronwyn.howell@vuw.ac.nz; php@grensnut.com", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "Potgieter, Petrus/0000-0003-1785-761X", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 31.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 1.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 1.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 1.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 3.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

At the same time, governments around the world have enacted data policies that restrict such cross border data flows in their effort to claim sovereignty over data generated from within their countries. However, scholars have long proclaimed that any restrictions to the Internet and associated digital trade will have serious economic consequences. Given this context, we analyze the impact of data policies that impose restrictions on digital trade, specifically on cross border data flows. We construct Market Data Restrictions Index (MDRI), that measures the data restrictions faced by an exporting country from their trade partners. We use a variation of random effect model on a panel data set consisting of 60 countries that contribute to more than 50 percent of IT services export during the period 2006-2017. The results indicate that apart from variables such as Foreign Direct Investment, and Service Value Added, the MDRI of partner countries has a moderate negative effect on IT services export. If countries move from liberal policies to stringent data restrictions, the economies of the country that exports its ICT services to these partner countries is affected substantially. Hence government regulators shall be cautious in imposing stringent data restrictions as it affects global digital trade.", "Addresses": "[Gupta, Shagufta] Consumer Unity & Trust Soc Int, Pittsburgh, PA USA; [Ghosh, Poulomi] Indian Polit Act Comm, Kolkata, India; [Sridhar, V.] Int Inst Informat Technol Bangalore, Ctr IT & Publ Policy, 26-C Elect Cty,Hosur Rd, Bengaluru 560 035, India", "Affiliations": "", "Reprint Addresses": "Sridhar, V (corresponding author), Int Inst Informat Technol Bangalore, Ctr IT & Publ Policy, 26-C Elect Cty,Hosur Rd, Bengaluru 560 035, India.", "Email Addresses": "shagufta.gupta@gmail.com; poulomi03.ghosh@gmail.com; vsridhar@iiitb.ac.in", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "Sridhar, Varadharajan/0000-0002-1038-9908", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 93.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 4.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 4.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 37.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 106.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

The analysis is grounded in a conceptual framework that explicitly considers the complementarities among networks, applications, and services. Good policy arrangements align the legal and regulatory framework with the technical and economic characteristics of the sector and the broader, social visions for new technologies. Because the future development of 5G technology and markets is open-ended, policy has to be developed with incomplete knowledge and under conditions of uncertainty. These circumstances call for adaptive forms of policy and a focus on the creation of guardrails for market players, backed up by regulatory powers to intervene more directly if necessary. In the technologically dynamic 5G system, multiple stable policy constellations are feasible, but they likely will result in divergent outcomes and performance characteristics.

While different technical aspects related to 5G have been extensively examined by researchers worldwide, a lack in the existing literature is the economics of 5G in terms of business cases of specific 5G use cases. In this article we analyse the business case for three 5G use cases in an industrial sea port area, the Hamburg port in Germany, over the period 2020-2030. The first use case is enhanced mobile broadband and the results show a payback period lower than one year for all the scenarios analysed. The second use case is automation of container handling in the port's container terminal. It was found that the payback period is also lower than one year with a positive business case net present value in all scenarios studied. The business case of the third case, augmented reality for construction projects in the port's area, is challenging as the payback period was 5 years for the baseline case. Moreover, when performing the sensitivity analysis, it was found that in several scenarios there was a negative return on investment, and it was not possible to recover the investment over the time period studied. It can be concluded that mobile network operators will need to be careful as not all new 5G service offerings may have a positive business case. Future research work should focus on studying other 5G use cases in the port area, and on examining other industrial areas beyond ports such as airports, science parks and manufacturing facilities.", "Addresses": "[Schneir, Juan Rendon; Zimmermann, Gerd] Deutsch Telekom, Landgrabenweg 151, D-53227 Bonn, Germany; [Bradford, Julie; Ajibulu, Ade; Pearson, Ken; Konstantinou, Konstantinos; Osman, Hassan] Real Wireless, POB 2218, Pulborough RH20 4XB, W Sussex, England", "Affiliations": "Deutsche Telekom AG", "Reprint Addresses": "Schneir, JR (corresponding author), Deutsch Telekom, Landgrabenweg 151, D-53227 Bonn, Germany.", "Email Addresses": "juan.rendon-schneir@telekom.de; julie.bradford@real-wireless.com; ade.ajibulu@real-wireless.com; ken.pearson@real-wireless.com; costas.konstantinou@gmail.com; hassan.osman@real-wireless.com; zimmermanng@telekom.de", "Researcher Ids": "Osman, Hassan/KEI-3168-2024", "ORCIDs": "Pearson, Ken/0000-0002-2667-6143; Konstantinou, Konstantinos/0000-0002-9469-5936; Bradford, Julie/0000-0003-2930-7164", "Funding Orgs": "European Commission", "Funding Name Preferred": "European Commission(European Union (EU)European Commission Joint Research Centre)", "Funding Text": "This work has been performed within the framework of the 5G PPP program partially funded by the European Commission within the Horizon 2020 Framework Program.

Moreover, spectrum auctions have become a common method for spectrum allocation by telecom regulators in recent decades. In Thailand, the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) over the past years has used a spectrum cap setting mechanism to encourage more competition in both the auctions and in the market after the auctions. This mechanism also allows regulators to determine the number of mobile operators in the market. However, regulatory mandated spectrum caps can potentially harm a large mobile operator's performance since spectrum caps can preclude large carriers from getting more necessary spectrum to support their customers' demand. Therefore, the purpose of this research was to demonstrate the effect of spectrum caps' determination using frequency allocation in Thailand as a case study. This paper employs data from Q3 2012 - Q1 2020 for the three major mobile operators in Thailand (AIS, TRUE, and DTAC) and analyzes the mean difference of six operating parameters by 1 MHz spectrum and the industry average. Results revealed that AIS was the largest carrier with the most spectrum amount, the greatest number of users, with revenue exceeding the industry average. AIS also had a statistically significant operational efficiency in all six of the evaluated dimensions. However, TRUE which is second in the total number of users in Thailand was determined to have no statistically significant operating efficiencies. Furthermore, the study determined that operators need additional spectrum so that they can increase market share through improved service quality. Finally, the empirical evidence suggests that spectrum caps when set in conjunction with each auction did not create any significant operator's efficiency problem.", "Addresses": "[Srinuan, Chalita] King Mongkuts Inst Technol Ladkrabang KMITL, KMITL Business Sch KBS, 1 Chalong Krung 1 Alley, Bangkok 10520, Thailand; [Srinuan, Pratompong] Off Natl Broadcasting & Telecommun Commiss NBTC, 87 Phaholyothin 8 Soi Sailom, Bangkok 10400, Thailand", "Affiliations": "King Mongkuts Institute of Technology Ladkrabang", "Reprint Addresses": "Srinuan, C (corresponding author), KMITL Univ, Bangkok, Thailand.", "Email Addresses": "chalita.sr@kmitl.ac.th; psrinuan@gmail.com", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 39.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 0.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 0.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 0.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 1.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

Based on a novel dataset covering 100 consortia in the field of mobile telecommunications as well as interviews, we aim to explore and understand the role and diversity of standards-related consortia. We investigate their purpose, functioning, their members? motives, the position they occupy in the standardization landscape, and the way they interact with formal standard setting. On the basis of our analysis, we propose a taxonomy of standards-related consortia consisting of six groups: large industry and technology influencers, high-level concept developers, established standards developers, young technology specialists, small industry and technology influencers, and SSO-hosted industry drivers. We believe the resulting taxonomy to be relevant for researchers, practitioners and policymakers alike.

This study specifically focuses on a niche K-pop video platform, V Live, to investigate the factors that contribute to the artists? V Live channel success. By examining factors related to K-pop artists, the artist?s V Live activities, and V Live support factors, the study examines 289 K-pop artists? V Live channels using hierarchical regression analysis. The study found that high popularity and fan engagement rates are influenced by K-pop artists? video uploads and the support from V Live and entertainment companies.

A series of non-linear time series techniques are employed to capture the complex dynamics among these variables. The outcomes of the study suggest that the import, FDI, and Index of Industrial Production (IIP) in the telecom sector share non-linear relationships that exhibit regime shifts, time-varying behavior, and asymmetry. The study highlights that the FDI drives the import and, in normal circumstances, FDI and imports have the potential to influence IIP in the telecom sector in the long-run. The findings indicate that the policy measures adopted by the government are justifiable as the import substitution strategies have the potential to get transmitted to the telecom sector in the future.

Thus, regulatory interventions must be based on a careful case-by-case analysis. (2) In the context of zero-rating offers, it is often crucial to evaluate the extent to which users are able to activate and deactivate a (throttled) zero-rated tariff option. If activation/deactivation is easy and instantaneous, a sound economic theory of harm for consumers will in many cases be hard to establish. (3) Similarly, if access to zero-rated partner programs is non-discriminatory and entails low barriers to entry, a sound theory of harm for content providers will usually not be given. (4) Zero-rating can be beneficial for consumers and (legal) content providers alike by contributing to a reduction of illegal content. Combined with throttling it can mitigate congestion problems. However, by requiring all content belonging to the same content category to be treated equally with respect to throttling, independent of whether a content provider opted for zero-rating or not, the existing regulation creates a negative externality on those content providers that do not wish to be zero-rated for some reason. (5) Particular attention should be paid to the impact of throttled zero-rating tariffs on the competition between mobile network operators (MNOs) and MVNOs. The latter may not be able to compete on equal footing with MNOs, because they benefit less from the traffic management aspects of zero-rating. (6) Competition among (infrastructure-based) ISPs provides a safeguard against severe rent extraction and, thus, an abuse of throttling and zero-rating as an exploitative device. Therefore, regulators should carefully account for the competitive environment and the existing tariff portfolio and options before deciding to intervene.

This paper focuses on telecommunication infrastructure as the backbone of the fast-growing digital economy, and raises important questions about the early National Broadband Network (NBN) rollout in Australia. The paper asks whether there was any case of pork barrelling in the selection of early release sites that enjoyed a regional competitive advantage against other localities that had to wait several years to receive the infrastructure. The answer to this question then leads to a second question about the degree to which voting in the early NBN release sites has swung following the infrastructure rollout. In order to answer these questions the paper examines the voting patterns in the earlier NBN release sites versus all electorates in the Federal elections in 2007-2013 using the data available via Australian Electoral Commission. Findings show trends of politically targeted funding, followed by vote swing in the very next election.", "Addresses": "[Alizadeh, Tooran; Farid, Reza] Griffith Univ, 170 Kessels Rd, Nathan, Qld 4111, Australia", "Affiliations": "Griffith University", "Reprint Addresses": "Alizadeh, T (corresponding author), Griffith Univ, 170 Kessels Rd, Nathan, Qld 4111, Australia.", "Email Addresses": "t.alizadeh@griffith.edu.au; r.farid@griffith.edu.au", "Researcher Ids": "Alizadeh, Tooran/AAX-2371-2020", "ORCIDs": "Alizadeh, Tooran/0000-0001-5424-3348", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 105.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 17.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 20.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 2.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 20.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

Over a decade after the enactment of the AISI, many villages are still without electricity, and lack access to Internet services and other core ICTs. Based on the data gathered from qualitative semi-structured interviews and secondary sources, this paper analyzes the challenges and obstacles that have confronted the AISI implementation and ICT4D agenda in Africa. It examines the implication of these challenges and potential ways of addressing them. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd.

We use the augmented Solow (1956) framework, the ARDL bounds (Pesaran, Shin, & Smith, 2001) approach to cointegration and the Toda and Yamamoto (1995) granger non-causality tests to examine the possible linkages. The results show evidence of long-run association among level variables for all the indicators of ICT*. From the results, we also note that all the indicators of ICT* have a positive and statistically significant elasticity coefficient ranging from 0.010 to 0.080. From the Granger causality results, we note bidirectional causality between mobile cellular, telecommunication and economic growth; and between mobile cellular, telecommunication and capital per worker, respectively. Other results indicate that fixed broadband cause capital accumulation; capital accumulation causes internet technology. We also note bidirectional causality between mobile cellular and telecommunication, and between fixed broadband and internet, respectively; and a unidirectional causality from Internet and fixed broadband to hi-tech exports; and from mobile cellular and telecommunication to fixed broadband, respectively. From the overall results, within caveats, we highlight that while all the indicators of ICT* are imperative for long-run growth, besides capital per worker, the dominant technology drivers are mobile cellular and telecommunications technology.

In this paper, we explore how mobile payment operation models might evolve in China, using the more mature Japanese and South Korean markets for comparison. Comparing existing business models in the three countries, we argue that regulation has affected both the industry structure and the vertical linkages of the different participants in the mobile payments ecosystem. We predict that rather than converging onto the mobile payment models of Japan or South Korea, the Chinese mobile payment industry is likely to see the coexistence of competing business models in the intermediate term. We attribute this to the contradictory incentives created by Chinese financial sector regulation for the participants in the mobile payments industry. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd.

Despite an increasing growth of broadband networks combined with a rising number of studies calculating in great detail the direct costs and benefits of these deployments, less attention has been paid to the indirect effects resulting from those emerging applications. As these effects have proven to contribute to economic growth, this paper argues that that they should be taken into account when evaluating a cost-benefit analysis and proposes a model for conceptualization, measurement and quantification. It studies these indirect benefits in the area of e-government (related in particular to savings on travel and waiting time by introducing an e-counter) and e-business (related to reducing traffic jams by allowing employees to work at home). In a bottom up manner, the paper quantifies the indirect benefits in these two sectors by studying two cities: Ghent (Belgium) and Eindhoven (the Netherlands). By quantifying these benefits per actor, the paper shows that the indirect benefits would provide large business and local authorities additional incentives to stimulate investment in broadband networks. The model and results of the paper could be used by decision-makers to improve the business case for new investments in fibre networks and allows evaluating existing and future investment cases.

As a first step, we estimate the returns from broadband infrastructure for the period 2005-2011, differentiating the impact of broadband by levels of adoption and speed while accounting for reverse causality and extensive heterogeneity. In the second step, the cost of broadband roll-out is assessed under different assumptions of technical performance and contrasted with the forecasted benefits that derive from increased broadband coverage. We find that in the base case scenario the overall future benefits outweigh the investment costs for the European Union as a whole for the highest performance technologies. This holds also for the majority of member states individually. We further extrapolate the returns by country under different scenarios of implementation. In most cases the benefits are substantially well above the costs. Private sector is reluctant to invest, as investors in broadband infrastructure only can partially appropriate benefits. This would suggest a rationale for the public sector to subsidize build-out of high speed broadband infrastructure. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd.

The model considers two potentially coexisting and partially competing technologies (the old generation network - OGN - and the new generation network - NGN). This framework allows us to show that the regulation defining access charge in order to maximize infrastructure deployment is strictly equivalent to the case in which no regulation applies. We also derive from the model that these two types of regulation induce higher social welfare, but lower numbers of NGN consumers, compared to the ex post access prices regulation. Finally, we show that the level of infrastructure deployment (as well as social welfare and number of NGN consumers) will be highest if both investment and access charge decisions are taken by the welfare maximizing regulator. This suggests that the social optimum will be achieved through a calls-for-tender process that includes deployment and access charge requirements.

That time span coincided with tumultuous political, social and economic transformation inside Korea including the growth of such powerful chaebol industry groups as Samsung, LG and SK. Globally, the period covered by this study featured the growth of new and more powerful digital networks epitomized by the internet. It also marked South Korea's transition from a development to a network state, allowing assessment of what the experience implies for developmental state theory. This research shows that the most convincing explanation for the decline of the Korean developmental state lies in its transformation into a network state. Nevertheless, it illustrates the continuing explanatory power of key concepts from the developmental state model, including a competent bureaucracy, a political system that allows the bureaucracy sufficient autonomy, market conforming methods for state intervention, and a control tower, to guide industrial policy in the networked era. Korea's success suggests the value of technically trained leaders in the ICT sector, and in sharp contrast with Japan, the importance of the cross cultural experience and global outlook that many of them gained while studying at top universities in the U.S. For most of the three-plus decades in this study, the MIC served as Korea's control tower for the ICT sector, guiding policy and technology projects, and culminating in the 2006 U-Korea Master Plan, an ambitious blueprint for becoming the world's first ubiquitously networked nation. However, only two years later the Lee Myung-bak administration dismantled the ICT control tower in favor of a five year experiment with a liberal, market oriented approach to the ICT sector, much like policy in the United States. It was widely considered a failure and in 2013 President Park Geun-hye restored the control tower function within the new super Ministry of Science, ICT and Future Planning. The Korea experience also has more general implications for policymakers in the information age. These include the need for national, long-term policies, the vital role of education, ranging from highly specialized R&D to broadly-based public-private sector efforts to ensure demand for services. While Korea's past success depended heavily on the manufacture and export of hardware and infrastructure, the President Park Geun-hye administration, with its emphasis on building a creative economy signaled recognition that software, content and services will be more important than hardware in the future.

The telecommunications sector has played an important role in stimulating economic growth in the country during the last few years, with an annual growth rate higher than that of other sectors. This contribution is supported to a great extent by the rapid diffusion of telephony, in particular cellular telephony, as the number of subscribers increased from just 2.1 million in 1999 to 170 million in 2011. Previous studies investigating the impact of the telecommunications sector on the economy aggregate the impact of the sectors on Gross Domestic Product (GDP) without further scrutiny of what sources of growth telecommunications has contributed. Hence, an interesting question arises as to whether the achievement of cellular diffusion is also followed by structural change in the telecommunications sector. That said, this study aims to decompose the output of telecommunications into several sources of growth: domestic final demand, export effect, import substitution effect and technological coefficient effect. A particular interest in this study is to compare the source of growth concerning domestic final demand and the technological coefficient effect The main tool for analysis in this study is the Input-Output (IO) method, while the time series of the investigation covers the period 1975-2008, allowing comparison of structural changes in the telecommunications sector between the pre- and post-cellular eras. The study found that the coefficient multiplier of the telecommunications sector, which was approximately 1.8 during the 1980s, had decreased to only 13 by the end of 2008. Consequently, the final demand from the telecommunications sector contributed less to economic output in the late 2000s compared to the impact in the 1980. Moreover, the cellular era that started in the early 2000s also brought about a trend of changes in telecommunications output While final demand remains very dominant the technological coefficient effect has diminished as the source of telecommunications output This finding indicates a lower ability of the telecommunications sector to build an inter-industry relationship with other sectors. A possible explanation for this result is the cellular uses which are much less related to business activities than that of fixed telephony dating back to the 1970s in Indonesia.

However, there is no consensus about what is the optimal regulation policy for the telecommunications industry. Regulations on the telecommunications industry are different by region (i.e. United States, European Union and Asia). A number of studies have been conducted on comparative efficiency analysis for different policies that apply stochastic frontier analysis or data envelope analysis. However, these comparative studies are inappropriate because the production functions for each region are not identical. Thus, this paper addresses meta-frontier methodology, which can reflect differences in production functions. The results indicate that the United States has the highest meta-frontier efficiency in contrast to previous research findings. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd.

While educational impact is likely to be the primary objective, such investments can also affect residential adoption and adult utilization of ICT in the communities, thereby reducing the digital divide. Using a census survey of Thailand for a time when ICT was available in roughly half of the nation's schools, this study employs logistic regression and propensity score matching (PSM) to show that placing ICT in schools does have significant spill-over effects outside schools. This effect is larger for ICT in primary schools than secondary schools, and larger in schools with both Internet and computers than schools with just computers. The effects are observed in households of all incomes and educational levels. Considering these spill-over effects when allocating resources should lead to greater welfare gains for the amount of resources spent. The study also finds that there is a sizable portion of the adult population that chooses not to use ICT even after adopting this ICT in their households for their children, thereby eliminating any barriers to use related to cost and convenience. For this group, policy-makers should seek ways to decrease other impediments to ICT use, such as increasing ICT literacy through training. (c) 2013 Elsevier Ltd.

Furthermore, it investigates the extent to which personal and mobile appliance characteristics explain variance in actual MI use intensity. Data on two demographic variables, three MNO relationship characteristics and actual MI use intensity (average monthly volume of mobile IP traffic generated by a subscriber in May and June 2011) of 9321 adult consumers with a flat MI pricing scheme are extracted from customer files of the German subsidiary of a large international MNO. 959, 2213, 2410 and 3739 of the sample members use an Apple iPhone 3, an Apple iPhone 4, a model running with Google's Android operating system (OS) and other MI-enabled mobile OS/phone types, respectively. Compared to the adult population in Germany, persons at least 50 years of age are clearly underrepresented among MI adopters with the four studied device types. Differences between the four phone type groups with regard to gender, age, time from enrollment and MI use experience emerge as statistically significant, but they achieve only minor substantial relevance. MI use intensity is highly positively skewed: In each of the four appliance groups, a small number of users disproportionately add to the total MI traffic generated by the subjects. Consumers' advanced OS/handset type strongly contributes towards explaining MI use intensity variance. iPhone subscribers generate more traffic than Android customers who in turn show a higher MI activity level than individuals running other web-enabled mobile models. Age is the only studied personal characteristic consistently showing a (negative) association with MI usage, which both is statistically and materially significant. Conclusions are drawn for MNO on MI marketing issues. Implications of study limitations for research on MI adoption and use behaviors on the MI are also outlined. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

Geographical digital divide is measured primarily by teledensity at the provincial level. Changes of the geographical digital divide over time are analyzed within the framework of hardware, software, and other factors. Following this analytical framework, mobile or wireless telecommunications has higher potential of equipping the poor and narrowing the digital divide, especially in developing countries. In terms of hardware, the installation cost of wireless technology is often lower than fixed-line telephone services, especially in remote rural areas and/or areas of difficult terrains. The hardware required by users, notably mobile handsets, is also cheaper to own than personal computers (PCs). In terms of software, a greater variety and more flexible packages are often offered for mobile telecommunication services, and most applications on mobile phones are simpler and more user-friendly. Moreover, the requirements of mobile technologies on some other key factors known to affect information and communication technology (ICT) adoption rates are also lower. In particular, the requirements for language, especially English, proficiency and computer literacy are lower. Furthermore, proactive government measures have been implemented in China to narrow the digital divide through supportive policies influencing the factors named above. Under these circumstances, the well-known association between economic growth and widening digital divide (a difficult dilemma faced by governments of most developing countries) has been reversed in China after 2005.

In China's emergent 3G/4G era, market behaviors can be affected by various institutional factors, along with various forms of informal forces, which may translate into different implications for competition regulation. Based on extensive archival research and interview, this current study aims to bridge the gap by following an interpretive approach. An input-output model was substantiated for pattern-matching in the Chinese context base on the postulation of a series of propositions and hence Industry-Gray-Box. Accordingly, two categories of market behaviors, that is, market-driven vs. institutions-driven, were arguably delineated as being underpinning the competition development. Policy implications and future reform imperatives were discussed. This study may advance knowledge in terms of: (1) the establishment of a relatively consistent pattern for mapping the landscape of China's communications industry; (2) the substantiation of the inner working mechanism of China's SOE system in the telecommunications sector; and (3) original first attempt in identifying different roles of telecom SOEs and the governing forces that affect them. The paper also offers extensive and cohesive insights on China's formal and informal institutional environment in general and for telecommunications in particular. Measurements developed in this study may serve as basis for future study.

Though there is already a substantial literature devoted to the regulatory practices in developing countries, it generally conceptualizes the quality of regulation as an exogenous policy variable that affects the performance of the telecommunications sector or treats it as a normative recommendation to improve performance. In this paper, the quality of governance is approached from a different perspective, investigating how it might be related to the structural economic characteristics of the developing country. It applies to telecommunications the theory known in development economics as the paradox of plenty or the resource curse, by which countries richly endowed with natural resources lag behind in the development of governance institutions. An inverse correlation is thus expected between natural resource dependence and the quality of regulatory governance, both generally in the economy and specifically in telecommunications. To measure regulatory governance, both previously-published general indices, as well as sector-specific telecommunications governance indices developed for this paper are used. These governance index values were then compared to several measures of natural resource dependency in 53 African countries. The results indicate that, while governance standards in the overall economy behaved as expected by theory, the sector-specific telecommunications governance did not. Several speculations are offered why telecommunications governance acted contrary to resource dependency theory. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

Particularly in the telecommunications industry, switching providers even from within continuous contract relationships is easy and companies struggle to retain their customers. Trust and value are considered cornerstones of long-term relationships, so it is perhaps surprising that previous research on how relationship age and usage level actually affect value, trust and loyalty is inconclusive. The current research is set in the telecommunications services field and draws on a large-scale survey undertaken in Finland. The findings support the contention that perceived value relates positively to loyalty, and that trust mediates that relationship. Surprisingly, in the telecommunications industry, increasing relationship age and usage level strengthen neither value and loyalty nor the links between trust and loyalty. The results may be explained by the unique characteristics of the highly competitive mobile telecommunications sector, and confirm the view that loyalty does not pay without strategies that value long-term customers and thereby build trust with new customers.

Adopting an institutionalist perspective and multi-streams framework, the paper analyzes the formal structures, rule-making procedures and interest groups involved in telecommunications policy-making in the two countries, in terms of their evolution over the last two decades. Though the two systems began this period with a somewhat similar ministerial-bureaucratic decision-making model, and faced similar problems of assimilating new interest groups and responding to international pressures, the paper finds that the decision systems in the two countries evolved in significantly different directions. China's telecommunications decision-making is significantly affected by the macro level political rearrangement and is more likely to be non-incremental. On the other hand, confronted by an increasingly litigious environment and a more fractious interest group culture, India represents a somewhat classical textbook case of incremental policy making. Nevertheless, numerous challenges remain in both countries, including institutional capacity and excessive regulatory deference to political authority. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd.

However, specific support formulas may be poorly targeted and/or designed. The U.S. high-cost loop support (HCLS) program (formerly referred to as the Universal Service Fund (USF)), has been a key component of the FCC's USF program. With proposed initiatives for universal access to broadband, it is useful to critically evaluate how the HCLS creates a moral hazard problem. This study finds that companies receiving HCLS subsidies have an incentive to report high costs to the FCC in order to qualify for still higher support payments. Using data from 1136 rural telecom firms in 50 states (1992-2002), this study shows that some companies respond to current incentives by overstating costs (or incurring higher costs) as they approach the subsidy cutoff points. Compared to the no-subsidy group, companies at the point of greatest subsidy jump appear to overstate costs more due to larger marginal benefits. Such perverse incentives need to be recognized in future universal service initiatives. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd.

Recession eventually complicates this process. In this paper the repercussions of multi-layer service taxation on the Greek mobile sector during the last five years are studied. It is found that public revenues, companies and subscribers would significantly benefit from a direct decrease of the special levy imposed on the use of mobile services today. An econometric model that links the consumption propensity of mobile voice service usage with the disposable income of the users and the price of the product is applied. The results of this research indicate that the adoption of high sector specific service taxes with the objective of increasing government revenues creates an economic distortion that lowers service usage, shrinks sector revenues, and, ultimately, jeopardizes the competitiveness of the mobile telecommunications sector.

ICT development is measured with internet penetration, mobile penetration, broadband subscription, and telephone subscription. The causal effect of the BRI on ICT development is estimated using a propensity score reweighting difference-in-differences (DiD) model. We find that the participating economies experience a significant rise in ICT development. A country's participation in the Digital Silk Road (DSR) in addition to the BRI further increases its ICT development and increases its participation in global ICT value chains relative to their BRI-only counterparts. Overall, the benefit of participating in the BRI on ICT development is enhanced by participating in the DSR. However, there are unequal trade creation effects between China and the rest of the world. The participating economies increase their imports of computer and information services more from and increase their imports of communication services less from China than from the rest of the world after the participation. These results are robust to a parallel trend test, alternative ICT measures and alternative estimation methods.

This study focuses on four principal contents: television programs, movies/videos/usercreated content, traditional telecommunication services, and chatting/messenger/social network services. The empirical results indicate an increase in usage time for the four principal contents, as well as total content usage time because of the pandemic. The results also show that average Korean people stayed longer at home after the onset of the pandemic, leading to an increase in the time spent on all the principal contents, except for traditional telecommunication services, as well as an increase in total content usage time. Furthermore, this study suggests that whereas the effect of the pandemic on television program viewing time was mainly attributable to changes in time spent at home because of the pandemic, the effect on other contents was mainly caused by nonlocation-related factors.

Moreover, the impact of industrial robots applications on the export product quality is dynamic; it initially increases and then decreases. Heterogeneity test results indicate greater quality improvement effects if robots feature applications in high-tech industries. We also show that importing more robots and for extended periods promotes the ef-fects of industrial robots applications on the export product quality upgrades of Chinese enter-prises.

This situation has somehow been changing with, inter alia, the advancement and application of modern Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). In recent years, China has been pushing for the inclusion of its rural communities into modern information society through aggressively digitalizing its rural areas under a public policy umbrella. With the literature's lopsided focus on Western nations, a cohesive paradigm in mapping the Chinese style of universal service implementation remains elusive, a situation that has often obfuscated deeper understanding of the Chinese case from a socioeconomic, technological, or institutional perspective. The main purpose of this present paper lies in the framing and modelling of China's universal service and rural digitalization practices. The paper proposes and applies an integrated offer-agent-target (OAT) framework in a retrospective and empirical examination of the Chinese case and conceptual characterization of what has appeared to be the Chinese model. In so doing, China's universal service development is demarcated into discernible stages that are then pattern-matched with corresponding institutional landscapes. Three salient stages are identified and corresponding institutional landscapes explicated. Finally, insights and suggestions are offered that throws lights on the current issues and future developments.", "Addresses": "[Xia, Jun] Beijing Univ Posts & Telecommun, Ctr ICT Ind & Policy Studies, 10 Xi Tu Cheng Rd, Beijing 100876, Peoples R China", "Affiliations": "Beijing University of Posts & Telecommunications", "Reprint Addresses": "Xia, J (corresponding author), Beijing Univ Posts & Telecommun, Ctr ICT Ind & Policy Studies, 10 Xi Tu Cheng Rd, Beijing 100876, Peoples R China.", "Email Addresses": "junxia66@hotmail.com", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "Xia, Jun/0000-0003-4856-7770", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 51.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 5.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 5.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 1.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 19.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

The projected cost of the government subsidy was originally euro175 million. However, when the contract for the procurement of the NBP was eventually signed in 2019 the estimated subsidy had risen to between euro2.2 and euro2.9 billion. Using a path dependency framework, this paper finds that the escalation in the cost of subsidy was driven by two main factors. First, the decision to roll out fibre-to-the-premises (FTTP) technology was inconsistent with the geographic/legacy path dependencies related to Ireland's low-density rural population. Second, the gap-funding/PPP procurement model adopted for the intervention failed to attract competitive bids and was at odds with the competitive path dependency and the dominant role of the incumbent operator.", "Addresses": "[Healy, Gary] Jacobs Cordova & Associates Europe Blackrock Co, Dublin, Ireland; [Palcic, Donal; Reeves, Eoin] Univ Limerick, Kemmy Business Sch, Dept Econ, Limerick, Ireland", "Affiliations": "University of Limerick", "Reprint Addresses": "Palcic, D (corresponding author), Univ Limerick, Kemmy Business Sch, Dept Econ, Limerick, Ireland.", "Email Addresses": "donal.palcic@ul.ie", "Researcher Ids": "Palcic, Donal/K-8682-2016; Reeves, Eoin/K-8034-2016", "ORCIDs": "Palcic, Donal/0000-0003-4726-9640; Healy, Gary/0000-0002-8228-6975; Reeves, Eoin/0000-0003-4674-3152", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 20.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 0.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 0.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 1.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 8.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

Two unstudied policies of interest are: (1) dig-once policies requiring state-funded construction projects to notify local internet providers about the opportunity to bury conduit for easier wire installation in the future, and (2) permitting policies requiring an expe-ditious response from local jurisdictions regarding the installation of broadband equipment. We use the example of Iowa, which passed legislation on both of these topics in 2015 and compare trends in fiber broadband availability with that of states who did not pass such legislation. We also consider the potential impact on fixed wireless availability, which largely depends upon a fiber middle mile. We use coarsened exact matching at the census tract level to construct treated and control groups with similar pre-2015 demographic characteristics and broadband availability trends in Iowa and other states. Difference-in-difference regression analysis with the matched samples then assesses the policy impact on fiber and fixed wireless availability post-implementation. The results suggest that Iowa's policies increased fiber broadband availability by 2.4%-6.6% when considering eight model specifications which account for different criteria such as geographic region, other (non-dig-once or permitting) broadband policies, and federal funding received. The policies do not appear to have any effect on fixed wireless availability.", "Addresses": "[Biedny, Christina; Whitacre, Brian] Oklahoma State Univ, Dept Agr Econ, Stillwater, OK USA; [Gallardo, Roberto] Purdue Univ, Purdue Ctr Reg Dev, W Lafayette, IN USA", "Affiliations": "Oklahoma State University System; Oklahoma State University - Stillwater; Purdue University System; Purdue University", "Reprint Addresses": "Biedny, C (corresponding author), Oklahoma State Univ, Dept Agr Econ, Stillwater, OK USA.", "Email Addresses": "cbiedny@okstate.edu", "Researcher Ids": "Whitacre, Brian/JAX-4638-2023", "ORCIDs": "Whitacre, Brian/0000-0002-5083-1828; Biedny, Christina/0000-0002-9400-3741", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 97.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 3.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 3.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 1.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 7.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

Therefore, the introduction of universal broadband service at 100 Mbps in Korea in 2020 could be a meaningful case study to evaluate the necessity of broadband USO. This study proposes an estimation model of the costs of providing universal broadband service in Korea and assesses whether the introduction of the broadband USO was appropriate in Korea. Since the proposed model was based on the bottom-up (BU) approach, which establishes an efficient network using the latest technologies, the estimated cost of providing universal broadband service nationwide in Korea is accurate and reliable. The main findings are threefold. First, the total cost of providing broadband USO at 100 Mbps through the fiber-to-the-home technology was about 1.1 trillion Korean Won. Since this is a relatively small amount compared with previous evaluations, it could be recovered within a reasonable period from the monthly broadband fee that subscribers pay. Therefore, the result supports the introduction of universal broadband service in Korea. Second, there was no significant difference in the average cost per building for broadband USO between 50 Mbps and 100 Mbps; thus, the Korean government?s decision to set the broadband speed for broadband USO at 100 Mbps was reasonable, at least from a cost perspective. These results imply that developed countries with relatively high broadband penetration, in particular, could consider providing universal broadband services of at least 50 Mbps by fiber-based technologies. Lastly, although the total cost of offering fiber-based universal broadband services in Korea was acceptable, the government could also consider including wireless access technology as a technological alternative to reduce the costs of the USO policy.", "Addresses": "[Lee, Hyeongjik; Jeong, Seonkoo; Lee, Kwanghee] Elect & Telecommun Res Inst, Technol Policy Res Div, 218 Gajeong Ro, Daejeon 34129, South Korea", "Affiliations": "Electronics & Telecommunications Research Institute - Korea (ETRI)", "Reprint Addresses": "Lee, H (corresponding author), Elect & Telecommun Res Inst, Technol Policy Res Div, 218 Gajeong Ro, Daejeon 34129, South Korea.", "Email Addresses": "hyeongjiklee@etri.re.kr; skj0102@etri.re.kr; lkh@etri.re.kr", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "Lee, Hyeongjik/0000-0002-9830-6731", "Funding Orgs": "research project of Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI)", "Funding Name Preferred": "research project of Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI)", "Funding Text": "A previous version of this paper was presented at an online conference of the International Telecommunications Society from June 14 to 17, 2020.

From a regulator's perspective, disruptive operators can increase competitive rivalry in markets dominated by a handful of large companies, thereby allowing consumers to obtain more benefits in terms of price and quality. Largely overlooked in this discussion has been the impact that the specific identity, complementary assets of operators, and their strategies have on the marketplace dynamics. In this paper we explore the impact that one such operator Free Mobile has had on the French mobile telecommunications market. Drawing on a wide range of secondary sources, our analysis finds that the entry and subsequent growth of Free Mobile has had a complex and multi-faceted impact on the market. Their growth has been at the expense of the other three mobile network operators active in the French market, while their innovative business model, which enables it to compete on the basis of low costs, has been copied by its rivals. The specific characteristics of Free Mobile and of its strategy have contributed to a significantly alteration to how competition occurs in this market. This, in turn, triggers a strong incentive for restructuring, which is actually restrained by regulatory concerns.", "Addresses": "[Berne, Michel; Vialle, Pierre; Whalley, Jason] Inst Mines Telecom Business Sch, Evry, France; [Whalley, Jason] Northumbria Univ, Newcastle Business Sch, Newcastle Upon Tyne, Tyne & Wear, England", "Affiliations": "Newcastle University - UK; Northumbria University", "Reprint Addresses": "Vialle, P (corresponding author), Inst Mines Telecom Business Sch, Evry, France.", "Email Addresses": "pierre.vialle@telecom-em.eu", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 112.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 5.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 6.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 0.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 6.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

On the supply side, significant factors are, first, the availability of a new and very powerful form of mobile connectivity in the shape of 5G, and second, software defined networking, which allows a single network to provide a variety of heterogeneous services or 'slices'. On the demand side, the digital transformation of the whole economy (and not just the communications sector) creates the need for diverse communications functions operating in a universe with a much wider set of digitally transformed services. Mobile operators will find themselves contesting customer relationship with firms or other organisations providing these services in an integrated fashion, and thus risk replacing their direct link with end users with becoming the wholesale supplier of an expanded but 'commoditised' communications product. We may also observe fewer radio access networks; more competitive backhaul; and the (partial) vertical disintegration of mobile network operators. The regulatory changes implied may include heavier regulation of fewer RANs, and the need for market analyses to confront situations in which network operators sell more and more of their services to a variety of heterogeneous content and application providers - some of them exercising substantial levels of market power.", "Addresses": "[Cave, Martin] London Sch Econ, Dept Law, Houghton St, London WC2A 2AE, England; [Cave, Martin] Ctr Regulat Europe, B-1050 Brussels, Belgium", "Affiliations": "University of London; London School Economics & Political Science", "Reprint Addresses": "Cave, M (corresponding author), London Sch Econ, Dept Law, Houghton St, London WC2A 2AE, England.", "Email Addresses": "M.E.Cave@lse.ac.uk", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 16.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 28.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 30.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 0.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 28.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

It is broadly recognized that the rise of all of these different types of content (static and dynamic, and increasingly multimedia) has been one of the main forces behind the phenomenal growth of the Internet, and its emergence as essential infrastructure for how individuals across the globe gain access to the content sources they want. To accelerate the delivery of diverse content in the Internet and to provide commercial-grade performance for video delivery and the Web, Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) were introduced. This paper describes the current CDN ecosystem and the forces that have driven its evolution. We outline the different CDN architectures and consider their relative strengths and weaknesses. Our analysis highlights the role of location, the growing complexity of the CDN ecosystem, and-their relationship to and implications for interconnection markets.", "Addresses": "[Stocker, Volker] Univ Freiburg, Abt Netzokon Wettbewerbsokon & Verkehrswissensch, Pl Alten Synagoge, D-79085 Freiburg, Germany; [Smaragdakis, Georgios] Tech Univ Berlin, Berlin, Germany; [Smaragdakis, Georgios; Lehr, William; Bauer, Steven] MIT, CSAIL, Cambridge, MA USA", "Affiliations": "University of Freiburg; Technical University of Berlin; Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)", "Reprint Addresses": "Stocker, V (corresponding author), Univ Freiburg, Abt Netzokon Wettbewerbsokon & Verkehrswissensch, Pl Alten Synagoge, D-79085 Freiburg, Germany.", "Email Addresses": "volker.stocker@vwl.uni-freiburg.de; gsmaragd@csail.mit.edu; wlehr@mit.edu; bauer@mit.edu", "Researcher Ids": "Stocker, Volker/AEA-0432-2022; Lehr, William/L-5281-2019", "ORCIDs": "Smaragdakis, Georgios/0000-0002-4127-3617", "Funding Orgs": "ERC [679158]; NSF [1413973, 1547265]; MIT Communications Futures Program; Direct For Computer & Info Scie & Enginr; Division Of Computer and Network Systems [1413973] Funding Source: National Science Foundation; Direct For Mathematical & Physical Scien; Division Of Astronomical Sciences [1547265] Funding Source: National Science Foundation; European Research Council (ERC) [679158] Funding Source: European Research Council (ERC)", "Funding Name Preferred": "ERC(European Research Council (ERC)); NSF(National Science Foundation (NSF)); MIT Communications Futures Program; Direct For Computer & Info Scie & Enginr; Division Of Computer and Network Systems(National Science Foundation (NSF)NSF - Directorate for Computer & Information Science & Engineering (CISE)); Direct For Mathematical & Physical Scien; Division Of Astronomical Sciences(National Science Foundation (NSF)NSF - Directorate for Mathematical & Physical Sciences (MPS)); European Research Council (ERC)(European Research Council (ERC)Spanish Government)", "Funding Text": "Author was supported by the ERC Starting Grant ResolutioNet (679158).; Author would like to acknowledge support from NSF Awards 1413973, 1547265 and the MIT Communications Futures Program ((http://cfp.mit.edu).", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 90.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 42.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 43.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 3.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 19.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

However, some domestic search engine platforms, such as Naver in South Korea and Baidu in China, have come to dominate their domestic markets in competition with global search engine platforms. This study quantified the economic effects of domestic search engines on the development of, the online advertising market. Using a country-level dynamic panel of 46 countries from 2009 to 2013, we investigated the change in the size of the online advertising market caused by the existence of a domestic search engine. The results show that the development of a domestic search engine may lead to an increase in the size of the online advertising market: A country with its own domestic search engine platform(s) may have an average of 0.018% more online advertising intensity which is defined as online advertising spending/GDP-than one without this type of platform. The reasons behind these results and the policy implications are also discussed. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd.

These dynamics have driven the next-generation telecommunications technologies, and the existing fourth-generation technology is reaching maturity. The pre-acquisition of promising future technologies enables firms to achieve and sustain their business growth; thus, numerous organizations in the telecommunications sector have made a huge amount of effort to develop fifth-generation (5G) technologies. Although understanding these emerging and promising 5G technologies is essential, they still remain poorly investigated. To fill this research gap, we first define the characteristics of promising technologies in the telecommunications sector, then develop a framework for identifying them based on patents. Specifically, we design three patent indices for deriving the core patents published by leading organizations in the sector. We then apply bibliographic coupling and text mining to the patents and identify their major innovation trends. We identify 21 technology fields as promising areas emphasized by the leading organizations. Theoretically, this study is one of the few attempts to examine various approaches to identify promising technologies and to suggest the most appropriate one considering the research purpose as well as the characteristics of telecommunications sector. In practice, this study can provide information about patent activities of key incumbent actors and thus offer some insights into recent technological developments towards 5G. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd.

The CEPA Supplement XI which has been implemented since March 2015 would be a milestone in opening China's domestic telecommunications market to overseas investors. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd.

Although there are high risks in China's standardization, MNCs cannot ignore the huge benefits of China's mobile market, and may join in this standardization process when they are ensured the government support would sustain.

The main research question to be analyzed is whether and why PWLAN has shown a disruptive or sustaining impact trend for incumbent MNOs in the hotspot markets of Germany, the UK, and the USA in recent years. The results imply that incumbent MNOs and new entrants have taken advantage of the opportunity provided by PWLAN, but the market success of both types of players varies between the countries analyzed. Incumbent MNOs dominate in Germany but not in the UK and the USA. The reasons for these country-specific differences were further investigated, and the results suggest that the analysis of disruptive potential in telecommunications needs to include country- and firm-specific factors, which are, again, largely influenced by the local regulation.

First, the impacts of regulation and other factors on investment decisions are explored. Second, the impact of NGN investments on investors performance is analysed and explained, and we focus on both the investors' business strategies and the demand for NGN services.

Nowhere are these dynamics more pronounced than in China, where a wide range of economic and institutional factors characterize the highly uneven state of informatization(2) throughout the country. Through a case study on Guangdong Province, China, this paper offers an in-depth examination of institutional issues in rolling out advanced information services (such as Internet) in rural China. The experiences from Guangdong help identify a number of systemic issues: (1) inefficient and wasteful spending resulting from interdepartmental rivalry (2) lack of policy continuity and institutional learning (3) lack of accountability and credible measurements (4) central planning resulting in gap between services and local needs. This paper calls for more emphasis on outcome assessment and coordination. First of all, in order to reduce waste and more fully exploit the benefits of system-wide reform, the incorporation of better assessment methods into policy measures should precede large-scale network rollout. Meanwhile, high level officials should be appointed to coordinate various departments and legislation may help to achieve coordination and policy continuity. (c) 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

As an illustration the test was applied to broadband Internet access services in Ireland and the Netherlands.

The analysis suggests that while some governments have chosen the standard attending to their industrial objectives, others have been influenced by the relevance of network externalities and scale economies and by the political and commercial relationship with their neighbours. The discussion about the technical characteristics of the systems was only relevant in the first years of the process, when the leading countries of the region had still not made their selection. Brazil decided to create its own version of the Japanese ISDB standard in 2006, and in the following years it has persuaded a significant part of the continent to choose it. Another block of countries has adopted the US ATSC standard. The most prominent case is that of Mexico, which has a preferential access to the US market. Only three countries have chosen the European DVB standard, the most widely used standard in the world. Colombia has tried to lead its introduction in the continent, but the results so far have been meagre. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd.

To be competitive, organizations must recognize and forecast customer preferences and behaviors to maximize customer retention before their rivals do so. This research identifies factors that affect customer churn, the single most valuable of an organization's assets. One year's data from call log files relating to 3150 customers were selected randomly from an Iranian mobile operator call-center database. Binomial Logistic Regression was the method of analysis used in this research. The results of this research indicate that a customer's dissatisfaction, their amount of service usage and certain demographic characteristics have the most influence on their decision to remain or churn. The results also imply that customer status (active or inactive status) mediates the relationship between churn and the cause of churn. The Iranian government's current plan to privatize the telecommunications industry without deregulation leads to a non-square competition environment. Deregulation in favor of delegating more authorities of customer care is necessary in order to develop a square private competition environment in the Iranian mobile telecommunications industry.

Marketers need to know which factors determine whether customers choose to upgrade their mobile phones, as this will affect the diffusion of third generation (3G), 4G, and Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access phones. This study integrates pre- and post-adoption theories, upgrading, and value-based theory to examine plans to upgrade to a newer model mobile phone among second generation (2G) and 3G mobile phone users. The empirical results show that the technology acceptance model fails to explain consumers' intentions to upgrade in sequence. Although customers perceived next-generation mobile phones as being easier to use and more useful than their current model phones, this did not directly influence them to upgrade. When users were satisfied with their current model, they were not willing to upgrade to a newer generation model. Moreover, value assessments affect users' plans to upgrade to next-generation mobile phones. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd.

But there are also fears arising, particularly when they affect the future of work. While there are many studies on public opinion about how ICT will shape work in OECD countries, we find much less research in developing countries in which labor markets work very differently. We present evidence from a field survey with an experimental component in Ghana. We show that, while hopes are much more pronounced than in advanced economies, opinions also change once people are exposed to new types of information. Using a 'text as data' approach, we also investigate reasons that explain the differences in attitudes and what people associate with digitalization. We conclude that, in Ghana, especially semi-formal, self-employed people hope that new technologies will allow them to leapfrog old ones that have historically been marred by market and government failures. Compared to developed countries, it is rather some of the higher educated to whom the negative consequences also have relevance. Our findings have broader implications for the acceptance and use of ICT and the future of work in developing countries.", "Addresses": "[Awuni, Evans Tindana; Kemmerling, Achim] Univ Erfurt, Erfurt, Germany; [Awuni, Evans Tindana] German Inst Global & Area Studies GIGA, Hamburg, Germany", "Affiliations": "University of Erfurt; German Institute of Global & Area Studies", "Reprint Addresses": "Awuni, ET (corresponding author), Univ Erfurt, Erfurt, Germany.", "Email Addresses": "evans.awuni@uni-erfurt.de; achim.kemmerling@uni-erfurt.de", "Researcher Ids": "Awuni, Evans Tindana/JXM-7383-2024", "ORCIDs": "Awuni, Evans Tindana/0000-0001-7543-555X", "Funding Orgs": "Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) [504172432]; Claussen-Simon-Stiftung, Hamburg", "Funding Name Preferred": "Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG)(German Research Foundation (DFG)); Claussen-Simon-Stiftung, Hamburg", "Funding Text": "Evans Tindana Awuni gratefully acknowledges the generous doctoral scholarship (Dissertation Plus) awarded by the Claussen-Simon-Stiftung, Hamburg, which significantly contributed to the advancement of this research.

This paper re-examines these influences using five-wave panel data extracted from the Vietnam Access to Resources Household Survey (VARHS). A two-step system called Generalized Methods of Moments (GMM) and Propensity Score Matching (PSM) is the primary metric for estimating internet-income and internet-poverty correlations. The analysis revealed that internet use assisted rural households, including the poor ones, in fostering their livelihoods in the 2008-2016 period: (1) internet access increased the average annual household income per capita by 4.5 million Vietnamese dongs, accounting for at least 17% of the overall income; (2) it decreased the probability of being poor by around 4%.

This has serious implications for all telecommunications satel-lites. As space-faring actors (who are increasingly from the private sector, in addition to government-affiliated) become more involved with these activities, fragmentation from a variety of sources (colloquially grouped as space debris) will only continue to proliferate before outright impeding the ability of humans to conduct operations in space altogether. This paper proposes, as a solution, the implementation of adaptive governance structures with regards to the issue of space debris. This solution takes place in the form of collaborative/flexible endeavors between the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA), International Telecommunication Union (ITU), private sector spaceflight corporations, and governmental space agencies to mitigate space debris pileup. Through the usage of new technologies to spearhead space debris cleanup, non-partisan economic incentives, and clarification on acceptable environmental conditions for satellite launches, an adaptive governance model for handling space debris is key to making space safe for communication and research.", "Addresses": "[Keles, Omer F.] NYU, Tandon Sch Engn, Brooklyn, NY 11201 USA", "Affiliations": "New York University; New York University Tandon School of Engineering", "Reprint Addresses": "Keles, OF (corresponding author), NYU, Tandon Sch Engn, Brooklyn, NY 11201 USA.", "Email Addresses": "omerkeles@nyu.edu", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "Keles, Omer/0000-0002-3004-1191", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 78.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 2.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 2.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 1.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 7.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

We find that the share of households with Internet access is 21 percentage points lower in tribal areas than in neighboring non-tribal areas. When compared to these non-tribal areas, download speeds, whether measured using fixed or mobile broadband networks, are approximately 75% slower in tribal areas, while the lowest price for basic Internet services in tribal areas is 11% higher. Regression techniques reveal that traditional cost factors such as terrain and population density fully explain the price gap but account for only a fraction of the tribal differences in Internet access and connection speeds. Income differences are strong predictors of Internet access but do not affect connection speeds. A sizable amount of the variation in the access and home connection gap between tribal and non-tribal is left unexplained. We conclude with a discussion of how federal broadband programs have penetrated Indian Country, how tribal-specific factors are related to the variation in Internet access within Indian Country, and the potential policy implications of our findings.", "Addresses": "[Bauer, Anahid] Univ Illinois, Dept Econ, Champaign, IL USA; [Feir, Donn.

The objective of this article was to examine the determinants of internet access, use and productive uses for school-age children in households of different socioeconomic levels. The Heckman selection model was estimated based on data taken from the Encuesta Nacional sobre Disponibilidad y Uso de Tecnologias de la Informaci ' on en los Hogares (ENDUTIH or National Survey on the Availability and Use of Information Technologies in the Household) 2018. The results obtained show that the probability of having children internet accessing and usage patterns (homework, courses, and blogs) depends on level of schooling, economic status, digital skills, and place of residence, as well as the presence of electronic devices and infomediaries in the household.

The study considers 41 countries in the region which are geographically linked, and it allows for spatial interdependence. It also accounts for differences in demographic characteristics as well as social, political and economic infrastructure which affect ICT access and use. Globally, about half of the world's population is connected to the internet whereas the remaining half, i.e. about 3.8 billion people, are not (yet) connected. The problem is more severe in developing countries compared to developed countries; it is said to be unsatisfactory in SSA compared to other countries. We apply a spatial panel analysis using the spatial Durbin model (SDM) specifications for 451 observations from 2006 to 2016. Our estimation results show that there is a strong spatial interdependence among SSA, implying that internet access and broadband subscriptions in one country are affected by internet access and broadband subscriptions in another country, most likely due to spillover effects. Our results reveal that GDP per capita, gross capital formation, political stability, regulatory efficacy and electricity infrastructure directly affect the digital divide. Moreover, GDP per capita, population growth, government consumption, trade openness, and electricity infrastructure also indirectly affect the digital divide through spillover effects. Regarding policy implications we suggest that SSA governments should work closer together in ensuring internet openness and to increase the level of coordination between their countries in order to ensure digital inclusion in their countries.", "Addresses": "[Myovella, Godwin] Univ Dodoma, Dept Econ, Dodoma, Tanzania; [Karacuka, Mehmet] Ege Univ, Fac Econ & Adm Sci, Izmir, Turkey; [Haucap, Justus] Heinrich Heine Univ Dusseldorf, Dusseldorf Inst Competit Econ DICE, Dusseldorf, Germany", "Affiliations": "Ege University; Heinrich Heine University Dusseldorf", "Reprint Addresses": "Karacuka, M (corresponding author), Ege Univ, Fac Econ & Adm Sci, Izmir, Turkey.", "Email Addresses": "myovellagd@gmail.com; mehmet.karacuka@ege.edu.tr; justus.haucap@dice.uni-duesseldorf.de", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "Haucap, Justus/0000-0002-9217-0343", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 88.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 21.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 21.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 8.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 47.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

Employing a panel data comprising 45 Sub-Saharan Africa countries over the period 1996-2017, we find that digital infrastructure contributes positively to services sector employment. However, further analyses reveal that the positive effect of digital infrastructure on services sector employment depends on education, institutional quality, and macroeconomic conditions as captured by the inflation rate. In particular, we find that the positive effect of digital infrastructure on services sector employment increases as institutional quality becomes better, while poor macroeconomic conditions decrease the effect of digital infrastructure on employment in services. We also find evidence suggesting that the effect of digital infrastructure on employment in the services sector tends to benefit countries at low levels of education.", "Addresses": "[Ndubuisi, Gideon; Otioma, Chuks; Tetteh, Godsway Korku] Maastricht Univ, UNU MERIT, Maastricht, Netherlands", "Affiliations": "Maastricht University", "Reprint Addresses": "Ndubuisi, G (corresponding author), Maastricht Univ, UNU MERIT, Maastricht, Netherlands.", "Email Addresses": "ndubuisi@merit.unu.edu", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "Tetteh, Godsway Korku/0000-0003-0900-4633", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 54.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 42.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 42.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 41.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 175.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

By deploying qualitative methods-65 semi-structured interviews and two years of ethnography-I provide a detailed anthropological picture of how IETF participants understand technology, and what consequences their perspectives have for human rights advocacy. Internet governance scholars have recently debated the turn to the infrastructure and the role of human rights advocacy in the IETF. Bringing these insights together, I argue that the IETF's shared view about the non-prescriptive nature of technology encourages participants to resist the inclusion of human rights values through standardization. I identify this non-prescriptive view of technology as a barrier to addressing human rights through direct civil society engagement in standardization organizations. This view explains why standards rarely reflect human rights concerns as a contextually embedded and social issue more than a technological or communicative problem. My findings inform ongoing academic and policy debates about the role of human rights advocates in the IETF and provide an epistemic grounding for the recent turn to the infrastructure in Internet governance research.", "Addresses": "[Cath, Corinne] Univ Oxford, Oxford Internet Inst, Oxford, England; [Cath, Corinne] Alan Turing Inst AI & Data Sci, Oxford, England", "Affiliations": "University of Oxford", "Reprint Addresses": "Cath, C (corresponding author), Univ Oxford, Oxford Internet Inst, Oxford, England.;Cath, C (corresponding author), Alan Turing Inst AI & Data Sci, Oxford, England.", "Email Addresses": "ccath@turing.ac.uk", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "", "Funding Orgs": "Ford Foundation [136179]; Alan Turing Institute for Data Science and AI", "Funding Name Preferred": "Ford Foundation; Alan Turing Institute for Data Science and AI", "Funding Text": "This work was generously supported by the Ford Foundation [grant number 136179, 2020] and the Alan Turing Institute for Data Science and AI [doctoral studentship, 2016].", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 82.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 15.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 15.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 0.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 11.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

While a complete interoperability means different cloud users being able to exchange the management tools, server images and other software, this is infrequently realised because users are locked into (proprietary) cloud ecosystems. This (problem of vendor lock-in) is potentially accompanied with another problem revolving around the content delivery networks being integrated with the distinct clouds along with possible harms to media pluralism as well as interoperability. In view of these concerns, this study focuses on competition law, standardisation and regulatory policies, and elaborates on to what extent cloud interoperability needs to be secured under EU legal fora. Overall, it is found that vendor lock-in might be attended by 'coupling' and complex 'layering' strategies, whereas efficiency and/or security based justifications would arise as the counter-balancing reasons. Based on the findings, the study concludes that while focusing on the vertical (i.e., vendor lock in) concerns, a comprehensive viewpoint needs to be upheld, allowing efficiencies (i.e., proprietary enhancements) based on the architectural design and innovations, obviating narrowly fashioned (i.e., foreclosure-based) interventions such as in Microsoft case. It is also underlined that cloud interoperability has a content dimension that would require a broader perspective, extending to horizontal concerns and requirements within the context of EU policy making strategies.", "Addresses": "[Unver, Mehmet Bilal] Anglia Ruskin Univ, Anglia Law Sch, East Rd, Cambridge CV1 1PT, England", "Affiliations": "Anglia Ruskin University", "Reprint Addresses": "Ünver, MB (corresponding author), Anglia Ruskin Univ, Anglia Law Sch, East Rd, Cambridge CV1 1PT, England.", "Email Addresses": "mehmet.unver@pgr.anglia.ac.uk", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "Unver, Mehmet/0000-0001-7952-2634", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 78.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 0.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 2.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 0.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 9.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

Based on a database with broadband initiatives, interviews with stakeholders, focus groups and document analysis, it analyzes how rural broadband initiatives and regional governments interact in their ventures to provide superfast broadband to rural communities. Essential in this is that in the Dutch participation society concept, citizens' initiatives are seen as an important actor to deal with failing service delivery by market players in rural areas. The relation between regional governments and citizens' initiatives, however, is troublesome, resulting in inadequate policies. Key findings are that even when governments come up with supportive policies for citizens' initiatives, initiatives still experience governmental efforts as constraining factors. Regional governments apply 'old style' governance and construct generic policy instruments, forcing initiatives to put a lot of effort in complying with generic policy requirements or political goals. Overall, solving a national market problem at the regional level proves to be problematic. More national guidance is needed to solve the rural broadband gap.", "Addresses": "[Salemink, Koen; Strijker, Dirk] Univ Groningen NL, Fac Spatial Sci, Groningen, Netherlands", "Affiliations": "University of Groningen", "Reprint Addresses": "Salemink, K (corresponding author), Univ Groningen NL, Fac Spatial Sci, Groningen, Netherlands.", "Email Addresses": "k.salemink@rug.nl", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "Salemink, Koen/0000-0002-9331-7343", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 40.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 18.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 20.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 2.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 19.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

Our contribution is threefold. First, across several platform contexts, we identify (i) (paid) prominence of some third parties over others and (ii) the favouring of a platform's integrated services over independent entities as common discriminatory conducts of online platforms. Second, within this scope, we review the economic literature and find that discrimination in the form of paid prominence may often be in the interest of consumers. However, smaller or low-quality content providers are likely to be worse off, which gives rise to concerns regarding dynamic efficiency and long-term variety in those markets. Additional problems may arise if platform operators are vertically integrated with content providers. Third, based on these theoretical insights, we recommend that EU policy makers should not adopt a neutrality regulation for platforms prematurely. Instead, we recommend to impose new proportionate transparency rules for dominant platforms in order to facilitate the identification of actual misconduct and legal enforcement.", "Addresses": "[Kraemer, Jan] Univ Passau, Chair Internet & Telecommun Business, Dr Hans Kapfinger Str 12, D-94032 Passau, Germany; [Schnurr, Daniel] Univ Passau, Res Grp Data Policies, Dr Hans Kapfinger Str 12, D-94032 Passau, Germany", "Affiliations": "University of Passau; University of Passau", "Reprint Addresses": "Schnurr, D (corresponding author), Univ Passau, Res Grp Data Policies, Dr Hans Kapfinger Str 12, D-94032 Passau, Germany.", "Email Addresses": "jan.kraemer@uni-passau.de; daniel.schnurr@uni-passau.de", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "Schnurr, Daniel/0000-0001-5674-6707", "Funding Orgs": "Bavarian State Ministry of Science and the Arts", "Funding Name Preferred": "Bavarian State Ministry of Science and the Arts", "Funding Text": "We appreciate the valuable feedback of four reviewers.

Worldwide and particularly in the European Union (EU), current regulatory frameworks for zero-rating arrangements (ZRA) imply that regulators have to examine on a case-by-case basis whether they prohibit a concrete ZRA or impose restrictions. Such conditions are set because regulators believe that a ZRA runs counter to the interests of end customers or application providers or impedes effective competition between application and Internet service providers. Thus, it is necessary to clarify which case features ought to be inspected in such zero-rating assessments and which feature levels speak against or in favor of regulatory measures linked to ZRA. The present article identifies nine design features of ZRA, three characteristics of customer groups targeted by such offers and three background characteristics of the markets for Internet access services and applications which are of special importance in decisions concerning the need to regulate (to abstain from regulating) zero-rating practices of mobile network operators. The analysis shows that in many instances interests of end customers, application providers as well as of politicians seeking to promote the competitive dynamics on mobile Internet access service and application markets are best served if regulatory authorities tolerate ZRA and control for potential harmful effects after their market launch. Moreover, the study reveals that empirical research on customer reactions to ZRA is urgently required.", "Addresses": "[Gerpott, Torsten J.] Univ Duisburg Essen, Mercator Sch Management, Chair Strateg & Telecommun Management, Lotharstr 65, D-47057 Duisburg, Germany", "Affiliations": "University of Duisburg Essen", "Reprint Addresses": "Gerpott, TJ (corresponding author), Univ Duisburg Essen, Mercator Sch Management, Chair Strateg & Telecommun Management, Lotharstr 65, D-47057 Duisburg, Germany.", "Email Addresses": "torsten.gerpott@uni-due.de", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 55.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 5.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 6.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 0.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 10.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

In particular, the progress is analyzed systematically by benchmarking various ICT infrastructure and e-devices, the composition of Internet users, and the key dimensions of e-government, e-working, e-commerce, and e-networking. In addition, the questions of whether the geographical digital divide in the country has been narrowed is examined. Our findings show that (1) China has made noticeable progress in the e-development since 1998; yet, progress varied in different dimensions; (2) based on the overall performance, 2004 can be considered as the watershed for China to move from the formative stage to the developmental stage; (3) during the e-development, digital disparities in China have dramatically decreased at the provincial level, however, the urban-rural digital gap widened. We suggest that other than promoting affordable ICT possession, the wider and more diversified e-applications for different walks of life will be important for China to move towards the mature stage.", "Addresses": "[Loo, Becky P.

Two alternative approaches have been proposed to replace or to be applied next to governmental control: (1) property rights; and (2) a commons, with restrictions in the type of use or users. Although elements of both proposals have been implemented, the resulting mixed regime is still a top down process with many rigidities and a government in control. Proper implementation of these alternative approaches requires a shift in the role of the government from a controller of the spectrum management process to a facilitator of decentralized coordination in the market in a multi-actor spectrum governance process. The role of the government shifts to market design, monitoring and facilitation. This shift in the role of the government is relatively absent in the debate on spectrum management. This paper makes a proposal for this shifting role of the government, provides the rationale for this shift and includes guidance on its implementation. A case study on recent experience in the Netherlands with this new role of the government is summarized in this paper.

It commands a 55% share in the global market for TT services. India's IT sector value proposition in terms of low cost with large supply of high quality talent is compelling. As a result, India has become the premier choice not only for outsourcing IT services by the developed-world's multinational corporations (MNCs) but also for locating their own Global In-house Centers (GICs), which simultaneously compete and partner with local firms. This gave rise to six additional clusters beyond the earliest, largest and robust cluster, Bangalore. The paper provides a review of relevant literature; develops a conceptual framework for evaluation of clusters; and presents data and analysis with respect to relative size, growth, specialization, MNC presence and connectivity to local firms through expatriates and returning Indians, innovation; and discusses adequacy of ICT infrastructure for future growth. Although there are clear signs that the Indian IT sector has been moving towards a regime of providing high-end value added services, the sector's value proposition lower cost combined with a large supply of high quality talent remains the single most compelling reason for the rise and growth of multiple export clusters. Thus the sector's growth appears to be a case of growth by replication rather than innovation. The paper concludes that the Indian TT sector's value proposition in terms of lower cost combined with large supply of high quality talent remains the single most compelling reason for the rise and growth of multiple IT services export clusters. While the old adage, people follow jobs still holds for large part of the labor force, there is little doubt that the sprawling IT services clusters in India - with more to come from Tier II and Tier III cities indicate, in fact, that jobs follow talent. Both local firms and the MNCs, through their GICs, are pushing the boundaries of location farther and farther to continue to leverage cost advantage and available pools of talent.", "Addresses": "[Rao, P.

This paper illustrates the case of Sichuan's government-carrier cooperative rural informatization model, where the carriers serve as both the information aggregator and distributor. A close historical analysis reveals that this seemingly unprofitable rural informatization service was originally conceived by competing carriers as a marketing strategy to gain a competitive advantage in less lucrative markets. However, when the government decided to promulgate such an informatization program nationwide, the business practice turned into one of the carrier's de facto obligations. Thus, Sichuan's model is a mixture of the passive fulfillment of political duty and the proactive pursuit of business interests. A sustainability failure analytical framework is applied to test the sustainability of Sichuan's model, which is found to be at risk of financial, social and institutional sustainability failures.

For this purpose, governments are allocating large parts of the valuable low frequency spectrum to MNOs. This expansion also adds pressure to better optimize the intra-MNO and inter-MNO spectrum usage. Regulators are concerned about problems such as network blackouts, coverage disparities and congestion. Latest technology developments provide new mechanisms to address these problems through two alternative evolution paths, operator-driven and user-driven. The operator-driven path permits operators to trade network capacity and spectrum through, for instance, national roaming and dynamic spectrum access mechanisms, respectively. On the other hand, the user-driven path enables users (and traffic) to rapidly switch between networks through an end-user multihoming mechanism which intensifies retail competition. MNOs are reluctant to adopt these mechanisms if they involve risks. However, regulators can facilitate the deployment of these mechanisms by guiding the level of inter-MNO transaction costs and end-user switching costs. This paper analyzes the market dynamics of these three core mechanisms by employing agent-based modeling. Initial results indicate that each mechanism improves allocative efficiency on a dynamic basis and that such mechanisms become necessary if the current static market model based on vertically integrated MNOs is not able to meet the requirements of service quality, capacity and coverage. One promising use case of the proposed mechanisms is the indoor femto-cellular deployment which suffers from coverage disparity due to static single-MNO base stations. Moreover, either end-user multihoming or national roaming may provide MNOs a feasible business case for building indoor infrastructure by solving coverage disparity problems, by means of competition or cooperation, respectively. Dynamic spectrum access may work as an extension of the previous mechanisms for solving congestion; however, it requires higher technical and business coordination. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd.

While South Korea makes active software promotion efforts, the performances and outcomes of such attempts have not been remarkable. Applying a socio-technical system framework, in this study we address fundamental problems of the software industry and successive software policies that have been implemented in Korea. Based on in-depth analysis, we suggest implications for more effective and productive software policy. With the aim of spurring a strong shift in the software industry, culture, and society towards a central role for building the ICT ecosystem, we provide suggestions regarding the concept of a social platform, the importance of core technology, and key properties. Other countries can use this study as a reference as they promote their own software industries. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd.

Careful study reveals that the label virtual, while useful in a descriptive way, does not identify anything economically unique. Virtual economies tend to behave like any other economy and also increasingly interact in predictable ways with the so-called real economy. Yet, these interactions raise important and unresolved questions for law and policy. While most of the legal questions have been addressed by scholars, at this point, most remain unresolved by the courts. In addition, there is little systematic analysis of policy issues for virtual worlds. This paper identifies a number of reasons why the boundaries between the real and virtual worlds are eroding. In doing so, it addresses a few of the major policy issues faced by virtual world operators as the boundaries of their creations push against the real world. It also demonstrates how the developers of virtual worlds already behave as policy makers, and how their own actions continue to blur the boundary between themselves and national governments.

Using data for 607,948 postpaid customers of the German subsidiary of a multinational MNO, this study explores differences in contract-related, socio-demographic and service use behavior characteristics as well as in the stated primary cancellation reason between three subscriber groups: (1) customers withdrawing their termination and accepting a follow-up contract (full restoration group; n=276,488); (2) customers not revoking the cancellation of their postpaid contract, but accepting a prepaid offer of their MNO (partial restoration group; n=40,500); (3) churning customers sticking to their cancellation (loss group; n=290,960). The data reveal that compared to defecting customers, subscribers in the full restoration group were more likely (a) to try to cancel their agreement as a precautionary measure, (b) to be already in a tariff bundling mobile Internet and voice calling service provisioning, (c) to have a shorter overall length of contract relationship with their MNO and (d) to generate higher monthly revenues. Lost subscribers were much less inclined to name any reason at all for their defection notice than the two remaining groups. The share of subjects stating that a mismatch between their personal communication needs and their postpaid arrangement was the main driver to quit, was significantly higher in the partially restored group than in the rest of the sample. Overall, the characteristics of partially restored accounts were more similar to lost than to fully restored subscribers. Implications of the findings are discussed for regulators and customer restoration efforts of MNOs. (c) 2014 Elsevier Ltd.

The discussion can be subsumed as P2P vs. GPON, which is somewhat misleading as this article reveals. The discussion is driven by the fact that the high capital cost and the long asset life time of fibre mean that the technology choices made today will dominate the opportunities for telecommunication business of all market players, incumbents, competitors, content providers and business and residential users for many years in the future. The paper analyzes the cost and other differences between Fibre-to-the-Home (FTTH) access network architectures and their related different wholesale approaches by using the well-known and understood steady state approach applied in other NGA analyses in the past. In addition to the steady state analysis a dynamic cost evaluation is included taking into account the different investment behaviour of the FTTH architectures over time. The results describe investment and cost differences between architectures, incumbents and wholesale based competitive operators. The analysis has been performed for different geotypes (clusters) of decreasing population density in a representative European settlement structure. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd.

A general specification encompassing all available input and output data was employed to obtain the average total factor productivity changes for the sector. Over the study period, there was total factor productivity growth in Uganda's telecommunications industry, which was mainly due to technical or technological progress as opposed to technical efficiency.

This became clearer than ever during the pandemic, when broadband access was a crucial enabler of remote work, distance learning, telemedicine and e -commerce. More recently, geopolitical tensions have compounded supply chain disruptions that were already visible during the pandemic in ways that make achievement of ubiquitous broadband even more difficult and potentially more expensive than in the past. Promotion of broadband deployment, adoption and use are all important for both fixed and mobile broadband; however, different policy levers are needed in each case, on both the supply and demand sides. The market will not always deliver complete solutions. On the supply side, there is a role for regulation, targeted industrial policy and public finance. Promotion of competition, combined with prompt and efficient provision of access to resources such as electromagnetic spectrum and access to land and rights of way, can be particularly important. The demand side calls for different measures, including ensuring not only widespread availability of personal computers or smart phones, but also training and demand aggregation. Broadband availability can potentially also be boosted by judicious use of economic recovery funds, and potentially also from new tax revenues arising from global tax reforms agreed within the G20 and the OECD. This paper seeks to provide examples of contemporary best practice, based on examples drawn primarily from countries that are members of the G20.", "Addresses": "[Marcus, J.

The paper uses data drawn from the Tanzania National Panel Surveys (TNPS), for the survey periods as follows: 2008/09, 2010/11, 2012/13, and 2014/15. The TNPS are national representative surveys conducted by the National Bureau of Statistics of Tanzania in collaboration with the World Bank Living Standards Measurement Study-Integrated Surveys on Agriculture (LMSA-ISA). The surveys collect detailed information on individual, household, and community-level characteristics. The panel nature of the TNPS allows for the same households to be interviewed over time. The study uses a difference-in-differences approach, and instrumental variables strategy to investigate the nexus between mobile money adoption and child labour and school enrolment in Tanzania. The findings of this study reveal a positive and significant effect of mobile money adoption on school enrolment, but a negative effect on children's labour market activities. Moreover, the study identifies heterogenous impacts across child's gender and age; and remittances receipt and education expenditure are the potential pathways through which mobile money adoption affects child labour and school enrolment. Overall, the results suggest that policies that enhance financial inclusion such as the introduction of mobile money can be effective in improving child's school enrolment and a decline in the incidence of child labour.", "Addresses": "[Ajefu, Joseph B.] Univ Bradford, Dept Peace Studies & Int Dev, Fac Management Law & Social Sci, Bradford, England; [Ajefu, Joseph B.] Univ Johannesburg, Ctr Social Dev Afr, Johannesburg, South Africa; [Massacky, Falecia] Ardhi Univ, Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania", "Affiliations": "University of Bradford; University of Johannesburg", "Reprint Addresses": "Ajefu, JB (corresponding author), Univ Bradford, Dept Peace Studies & Int Dev, Fac Management Law & Social Sci, Bradford, England.", "Email Addresses": "j.ajefu@bradford.ac.uk; falecia.masaki@gmail.com", "Researcher Ids": "Ajefu, Joseph B./AFM-2745-2022", "ORCIDs": "Ajefu, Joseph B./0000-0001-6333-3708", "Funding Orgs": "African Economic Research Consortium (AERC) [RT19529]", "Funding Name Preferred": "African Economic Research Consortium (AERC)", "Funding Text": "Funding This project was supported by the African Economic Research Consortium (AERC) [Grant No. RT19529] .", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 64.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 0.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 0.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 0.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 0.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "London", "Publisher Address": "125 London Wall, London, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

Four bases of trust (personality, cognitive, calculative, and institutional) underpin the theoretical framework of the study. A qualitative research approach was adopted, utilizing individual and focus group interviews with older people living independently in urban and rural areas of South Finland. The findings derived from thematic analysis offer new insights into the complex and multidimensional process of older people's initial trust formation, which is affected by an interplay of 12 identified factors shaping the four bases of trust and four supplementary factors.

We decompose SMEs' access to finance into two components, i.e., basic and advanced access to finance. Basic access to finance is captured from two indicators; namely, the firm's bank account and line of credit from a financial institution, while advanced access is captured by whether the firm's investments and working capital is financed by the bank. Consistent with the information asymmetry hypothesis, our findings confirm that ICT adoption reduces information asymmetry between SMEs and banks. Therefore, banks are more likely to grant credit and to finance projects and the working capital needs of innovative SMEs. Moreover, this study complements the argument of resource-based theory (RBT) and suggests that innovation can provide a competitive advantage with regard to a firm's access to credit.

The use of financial development sub-indices relating to financial institutions and financial markets, as well as their dimensions confirms the negative effect of the digital divide. Our result remains stable when we use alternative measures of financial development and ICT indicators. Furthermore, we found that the digital divide between countries is also a severe handicap for the financial development of countries lagging behind. On the other hand, countries with a technological lead or a digital dividend have relatively developed financial systems.

As part of its approval of the Comcast-NBCU merger in 2011, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) mandated a voluntary commitment by Comcast to introduce a low-income broadband program that Comcast has branded Internet Essentials (IE). We use data from the U.S. Census Current Population Survey (CPS) and the National Broadband Map and a differences-in-differences approach to evaluate the program's effects on subscription rates for eligible households. We find that between 2011, when the program began, and 2015, broadband adoption by eligible households-those with school-age children who were eligible for free or reduced-price school lunches-had increased by more among households that lived in areas in which Comcast provided broadband internet service than among households that lived in areas served by other cable providers. In our difference-in-differences approach, we estimate that about 66 percent of IE subscribers represent true increases in low-income adoption as a result of the program, with the remaining subscribers being households that switched from a competitor and households that would have subscribed as part of a general upward trend in adoption. We find that CPS survey respondents in IE eligible households had small and insignificant increases their likelihood of taking online courses or job training in Comcast territory relative to similar households residing in the territories of other cable providers and they showed no difference in the propensity to apply for jobs online. These results provide no evidence to support internet literacy training. We also did not find robust effects of some of the program's other components. In particular, IE makes computers available for $150, but we found no difference in the change in low-income computer ownership across cable territories. As a result, it would be hard to conclude that subsidized computers made a difference in broadband subscription despite the visceral appeal of such programs.", "Addresses": "[Rosston, Gregory L.] Stanford Univ, Stanford, CA 94305 USA; [Wallsten, Scott J.] Technol Policy Inst, Washington, DC USA", "Affiliations": "Stanford University", "Reprint Addresses": "Rosston, GL (corresponding author), Stanford Univ, Stanford, CA 94305 USA.", "Email Addresses": "grosston@stanford.edu", "Researcher Ids": "Wallsten, Scott/ABF-2887-2021", "ORCIDs": "Rosston, Gregory/0000-0002-2092-1881", "Funding Orgs": "Comcast", "Funding Name Preferred": "Comcast", "Funding Text": "President and Senior Fellow, Technology Policy Institute.

This development has raised concerns about its possible adverse impacts on emerging data-intensive technologies such as Cloud services/E-commerce, Big Data, Artificial Intelligence and the Internet of Things (collectively, the Embedded Infosphere). The inability to reach an international agreement on rules for cross-border data flows may have significant adverse consequences for all future users of the Internet. The basis of Data Localization is grounded in two distinct but inter-related policy models: Data Sovereignty and Trans-Border Data Flows. These two concepts have different origins. Data Sovereignty is derived from the historic power of a state of absolute and exclusive control within its geographic borders. Policies behind TBDFs arose in Europe following World War II, primarily motivated by Nazi use of early proto-computers to help round up Jews and others. As they have evolved, TBDF policies have been directed primarily at protecting personal data and privacy. This article first examines the issues of: 1) Information Sovereignty and 2) TBDFs. It then describes the arguments for and against Data Localization, offers some examples of strong localization policies (Russia, China), and summarizes contesting policy proposals. It then contextualizes TBDF with issues of human rights (free flow of information) and privacy. While the utility of an international agreement on TBDFs is clear, the differences in approaches are tenacious. For the free-market developed world (e.g, EU, OECD), the path forward seems to lead through policy convergence to compatible rules, with differentiated levels of data protection and accountability. It is far from clear whether these rules will address, in a mandatory way, issues of the free flow of information in the human rights sense. At the same time, there are countries (e.g., BRICS), representing a majority of the world's population, in which political and cultural resistance will produce stringent Cyber Sovereignty and Data Localization policies with few if any human rights components. The article concludes that the more the Internet is localized, the more attenuated its benefits will become. The negative consequences of Data Localization will become increasingly obvious as new, data-intensive technologies become ubiquitous, creating a condition of Data Dependence. It is projected that in the future the nations with the least amount of Data Localization and the most open flow of information will be the most successful in benefiting from new data-intensive embedded, networked technologies. This will most likely be characterized by values adopted as policies and practices in the EU.", "Addresses": "[Taylor, Richard D.] Penn State Univ, Coll Commun, Inst Informat Policy Bellisario, University Pk, PA 16802 USA", "Affiliations": "Pennsylvania Commonwealth System of Higher Education (PCSHE); Pennsylvania State University; Pennsylvania State University - University Park", "Reprint Addresses": "Taylor, RD (corresponding author), Penn State Univ, Coll Commun, Inst Informat Policy Bellisario, University Pk, PA 16802 USA.", "Email Addresses": "rdt4@psu.edu", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "Taylor, Richard/0000-0003-3641-9674", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 82.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 15.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 17.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 20.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 100.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

This was deliberate on the part of the platforms: Facebook and Google actively sought exemptions from mandatory disclaimer requirements that are standard for print and broadcast media. While prior research has placed blame squarely on the Federal Election Commission (FEC) for their lack of oversight of digital advertising, this paper demonstrates the way in which the platforms-Facebook in particular-engineered this regulatory failure in the form of capture on this specific issue. An analysis of documents submitted to the FEC demonstrates that Facebook and Google put profit ahead of the public interest in seeking exemptions from disclaimer requirements, refusing to change the size of their advertisements and downplaying the deceptive potential of political ads. Due to partisan gridlock and a lack of technological expertise, the FEC failed to rule decisively on exemptions or agree on alternative means of disclaimers for Facebook and mobile app ads, setting the stage for electoral interference in 2016. Implications for current regulatory efforts are discussed.", "Addresses": "[Haenschen, Katherine; Wolf, Jordan] Virginia Polytech Inst & State Univ, Blacksburg, VA 24061 USA", "Affiliations": "Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University", "Reprint Addresses": "Haenschen, K (corresponding author), Virginia Polytech Inst & State Univ, Blacksburg, VA 24061 USA.", "Email Addresses": "katherine.haenschen@gmail.com; wolfj@vt.edu", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "Haenschen, Katherine/0000-0003-0191-2880", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 81.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 13.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 15.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 0.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 18.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

This article analyses the factors that have contributed to the deployment of these fibre networks by both the incumbent and the alternative operators that previously relied on the Local Loop Unbundling (LLU) of copper cables. An investment-friendly regulatory framework, which did not mandate access to the optical loops, and a telecommunications market comprised of dissimilar actors in the fixed and mobile segments, have been key to the deployment of FTTP networks in Spain. Additionally, based on historical coverage data, we test retrospectively, the sensitivity of geographic market segmentation to the time of the analysis and criteria for potential NGA competition. As per the analysis, the unregulated area where facility-based competition may be expected range between 23% and 61% of the premises upon the case. We discuss the implications of having mandated a Virtual Unbundled Local Access (VULA) to New Generation Access (NGA) infrastructure in 2013, examining the most likely operators' strategies. We conclude that, in the Spanish market, an earlier regulation would have reinforced inter-platform NGA competition at the expense of more limited coverage. The analysis can provide policy-makers with useful insights about the trade-off between coverage and infrastructure competition.", "Addresses": "[Frias, Zoraida; Perez Martinez, Jorge] Univ Politecn Madrid, Informat Proc & Telecommun Ctr, Madrid, Spain", "Affiliations": "Universidad Politecnica de Madrid; Centro de I+D+I en Procesado de la Informacion Telecomunicaciones (IPT)", "Reprint Addresses": "Frias, Z (corresponding author), Univ Politecn Madrid, Informat Proc & Telecommun Ctr, Madrid, Spain.", "Email Addresses": "zoraida.frias@upm.es", "Researcher Ids": "Martínez, Jorge Pérez/L-2929-2014", "ORCIDs": "FRIAS, ZORAIDA/0000-0002-6265-9359; PEREZ MARTINEZ, JORGE EMILIANO/0000-0002-7036-3515", "Funding Orgs": "Spanish Secretary of State for Telecommunications and the Information Society", "Funding Name Preferred": "Spanish Secretary of State for Telecommunications and the Information Society", "Funding Text": "The authors would like to thank the Spanish Secretary of State for Telecommunications and the Information Society for their support to the project through the Chair Red.es at the gs1:Universidad Politecnica de Madrid.", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 22.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 2.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 2.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 2.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 6.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

The paper argues that the capability approach, incorporating development ethics, provides a useful framework for considering the ethics of cloud computing in Africa. Coupled with global and intercultural ethics perspectives, both provide a rich human-centred view of the technology's benefits, drawbacks and ethical risks. Focussing on the transformational benefits and features of cloud computing for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and the health sector, the paper highlights potential ethical risks that are cause for concern. The paper concludes that while cloud computing has considerable potential for advancing development through the enhancement of capabilities, there remain huge challenges in its efficient, effective and ethical use. As a result, ethical risks related to equity, ownership, dependency, privacy, trust and security that reflect `unfreedoms' and 'capability deprivations' may consequently have an impact on the technology's potential as an information communication technology for development.", "Addresses": "[Wakunuma, Kutoma] De Montfort Univ, Ctr Comp & Social Responsibil, Leicester LE1 9BH, Leics, England; [Masika, Rachel] Univ Brighton, Ctr Learning & Teaching, Lewes Rd, Brighton BN2 4AT, E Sussex, England", "Affiliations": "De Montfort University; University of Brighton", "Reprint Addresses": "Wakunuma, K (corresponding author), De Montfort Univ, Ctr Comp & Social Responsibil, Leicester LE1 9BH, Leics, England.", "Email Addresses": "kutoma@dmu.ac.uk; R.J.Masika@brighton.ac.uk", "Researcher Ids": "Masika, Rachel/D-6754-2014", "ORCIDs": "Masika, Rachel/0000-0002-7505-528X; Wakunuma, Kutoma/0000-0002-8236-3221", "Funding Orgs": "European Community's Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) (ETICA) [230318]; IDEGOV project - CIGREF foundation", "Funding Name Preferred": "European Community's Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) (ETICA); IDEGOV project - CIGREF foundation", "Funding Text": "The research leading to these results received funding from the European Community's Seventh Framework Programme (FP7/2007-2013) under grant agreements n 230318 (ETICA) and from the IDEGOV project funded by the CIGREF foundation.", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 75.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 8.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 13.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 0.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 20.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

Program eligibility criteria included having a population of 20,000 or fewer, having no prior access to broadband, and providing a minimum matching contribution of 15% by recipients of the loan. Loans were extended mainly to small telecommunications services firms at varying (subsidized) interest rates. We evaluate on the effectiveness of the Loan Program in increasing broadband availability in target locations. Specifically, we analyze whether loan receipt increases the number of broadband providers in a particular location, using various count panel methods. Our analysis is conducted at the ZIP code level over the period 1999-2008; it uses broadband provider data from the FCC's Form 477, and loan data from the Rural Utility Service (the implementing agency for the Broadband Loan Program). Results indicate that ZIP codes receiving broadband loans did in fact experience modest, statistically significant increases in the number of broadband providers vis-a-vis non-recipient locations; that average marginal effects on treated ZIP codes were approximately 0.092 additional broadband providers annually; and that these benefits accrued more towards rural locations than urban locations, in conformance with the intent of the program.", "Addresses": "[Dinterman, Robert; Renkow, Mitch] North Carolina State Univ, Dept Agr & Resource Econ, Raleigh, NC 27695 USA; [Dinterman, Robert] Ohio State Univ, Dept Agr Environm & Dev Econ, Columbus, OH 43210 USA", "Affiliations": "North Carolina State University; University System of Ohio; Ohio State University", "Reprint Addresses": "Renkow, M (corresponding author), North Carolina State Univ, Dept Agr & Resource Econ, Raleigh, NC 27695 USA.", "Email Addresses": "renkow@ncsu.edu", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "", "Funding Orgs": "USDA Cooperative State Research, Education & Extension Service, Hatch project [0211718]", "Funding Name Preferred": "USDA Cooperative State Research, Education & Extension Service, Hatch project", "Funding Text": "We gratefully acknowledge helpful comments from Ivan Kandilov, Barry Goodwin, Tony Grubesic, and Brian Reich.

This situation has generated important anticompetitive concerns, leading some authorities to contemplate (and even impose) a ban on such practice. In this paper I propose a model of the mobile industry to simulate the short-run welfare impact of this regulatory intervention. This ban will force the market to offer prices that do not depend on what network the call is terminated thereby increasing current on-net prices and decreasing current off-net prices. Thus, the short-run effect of the policy, for both consumers and producers, is a priori ambiguous. The model simulates how consumer and producer welfare would be affected under various scenarios for the ex-post undifferentiated (average market) price. Importantly, the model allows policy makers to determine the maximum ex-post undifferentiated market price that would guarantee no welfare loss. I illustrate the model using results from Chile where the competition authority recently banned this practice; using firms' actual choices of undifferentiated post-ban prices in the market (together with the corresponding observed call volumes) and the model results lead the analysis to the conclusion that in this particular case this regulatory intervention has (in the short-run) likely harmed consumers and benefited firms. Long-run competitive effects, such as changes in market structure, are neither captured by the model nor have yet been observed in this market. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd.

In particular, we present an efficiency evaluation of European fixed telecom operators, where the DDF tool allows for asymmetric treatment of outputs characterized by a different degree of desirability: broadband lines (a market still in expansion, related to a welfare-improving service) and narrow band lines (an almost saturated market, corresponding to a minimal TLC service in developed countries). Finally, by means of a second stage regression, we investigate the effect on technical efficiency of set of variables representing the competitive environment, the ownership structure and the degree of vertical separation. Our results show that the assumptions embedded in the DDF model influence relevantly the technical efficiency estimates, where important potential bias can arise if the duality of outputs is ignored, with a subsequent relevant impact also on the second stage results. These findings highlight the relevance of choosing benchmarking models consistent with the features of the analysed technology and show that the DDF approach is a flexible tool able to accommodate even complex output structures.

The methodology is a combination of market and cash flow valuation and consists of two main steps. First, prices for spectrum corresponding to that of the licences to be extended are derived from the auction outcome. Second, the relative value addition of the extension period for the new licensee, compared to the value of the licences auctioned, is derived by using a model for the development of EBITDA for an operator over time. A combination of these two is used to calculate fees that match the opportunity costs of extension. Thus, optimum alignment is achieved with the policy objective of using licence fees only to promote efficient use of spectrum, while avoiding state aid at the same time. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd.

Factors that determine the multiple services strategy include product discount, service provider and customer characteristics. Consequently, this study addresses the fundamental question: what are the key determining factors that explain the probability that a consumer buys multiple services? A generalized Poisson regression model is employed to examine whether the product discount, service provider, socio-economic variables and geographical location impact consumer decisions. Data from a national survey in 2009 commissioned by Post-och Telestyrelsen, the Swedish telecommunications regulator, are analyzed. The results clearly show that the discount, service provider and income of the consumer affect the consumer's buying decision. A consumer who receives a discount or has a high income is more likely to buy multiple services or select more services from the current service provider into his basket than a consumer who does not receive discount or has lower income. Service providers, cable TV operators and telecommunications carriers can also lock-in their consumer and expand their market position from one particular service to another using bundling service. Thus, this may be the time for the telecommunications regulator to consider the market definition. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd.

We estimate both linear demand specification and the logistic diffusion function.,We find that, after controlling for regional differences due to socioeconomic factors, inter-platform competition approximated by an inter-platform Herfindahl index has a significant positive impact on broadband diffusion. Broadband deployment is lower in countries in which DSL has a greater share in Internet access and it is higher in countries in which cable modem has a greater share in Internet access. Moreover, we find that competition between DSL providers has a significant and positive impact on broadband penetration. First, higher prices for a fully unbundled local loop connection, which represent the cost of providing copper-based Internet services, have a significant and negative impact on broadband penetration. Second, a greater incumbent share in DSL connections has a significant and negative impact on broadband penetration. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd.

This model intended to extend the TAM by adding accessibility and affordability, two important factors that influence the Internet diffusion. It also intended to extend the Consumption Theory by adding the two psychological factors from the TAM-the perceived ease of use (PEU) and the perceived usefulness (PU) - as the determinants of preference. The theoretical extensions aimed at explaining the Internet consumption behavior by utilizing the vital constructs of the two major theories. Based on the Internet Consumption Model, the cross-country empirical research was conducted to examine the relationships between income, Gini index, and the pattern of the Internet diffusion curve. It showed that the developed countries had steeper Internet diffusion curves and shorter time lags than the developing countries. The GDP per capita had positive correlation with the slope of Internet diffusion curve, while Gini index had negative correlation.

While various pure service providers enjoy high performance, the products offered by the incumbents often cannot compete on either price or user experience. Conventional wisdom, however, might suggest the opposite: that coordinating both infrastructure and services might allow the incumbents to reap synergy effects and create superior products. To address this issue, this paper applies a complex systems perspective to the telecommunications industry. It conceptualizes telecommunications firms to be searching for good configurations of interdependent service and infrastructure activities that need to fit together to achieve high-performing product systems. Using a simulation model, the paper shows that integrated operators can indeed take advantage of the interdependencies between the infrastructure and the service domain, resulting in superior product performance. Integrating infrastructure and services, however, can backfire: because learning about both domains and their interdependence requires more time, performance in the short run will be lower than that of pure service providers that can focus on adapting their service-related activities to an infrastructure that is beyond their control. The paper characterizes the conditions under which these effects can arise and concludes with implications for management and policy. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd.

This could come in different ways-from incentivizing private investments to deploying new state-owned networks. Public policy can have an impact for example by intervening into a competitive market. The paper tries to provide answers as to why such interventions and supply side policies are undertaken (thereby referring to the central role that broadband infrastructures have for the economy) and how such interventions take place, for example an analysis of the public policy interventions to drive Next Generation Access Network deployment.

Using quantitative techniques, it investigates the unique properties of rural locations as they may bear on connectivity's associations with various types of entrepreneurial endeavors. It shows that digital ventures and sole proprietorships are both highly related to local broadband speeds, but that conditions of rurality mitigate those impacts, enhancing the proprietorship results attributable to broadband speed but depressing or reversing the presence of digital ventures in the most rural regions. The research throws into question how the assumptions of scaled efforts intrinsic to digital ventures may disadvantage or misrepresent the highly specific and low volume of enterprises in rural regions.

This is in addition to the 25 percent of spectrum designated for 5G technology (mid-band, 3.4-3.8 GHz) under the Ma over bar ori Spectrum Working Group agreement. The novel arrangement, which creates a perpetual obligation rather than simply a one-off transfer, appears to settle a long-standing dispute between the Ma over bar ori indigenous people of New Zealand and the Government regarding a claim under an 1840 treaty that Ma over bar ori were entitled to a share of spectrum due to their historic property rights and the Government's obligation to ensure that their language could flourish. Further support apparently derives from New Zealand's obligations as a signatory to the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. The decision is notable for the lack of analysis of the expected effects on long-standing sector competition and efficiency objectives in the New Zealand telecommunications industry. Importantly, it introduces a tension into New Zealand spectrum policy between the (historic) allocation of spectrum rights to achieve the most economically efficient future outcome for the benefit of all New Zealanders (including all Ma over bar ori), and the (post-memorandum) allocation where a preferential set-aside has been created to address a narrow distributional objective in spectrum ownership and governance involving only a subset of the population identifying as Ma over bar ori. While raising the latter question, this paper addresses the competition and economic efficiency issues absent so far in official consideration of the arrangement. Using comparative economic and policy analysis, we find that while wealth and control is transferred from the Crown to the Ma over bar ori entity, the Ma over bar ori entity faces very different opportunities and incentives to deploy the spectrum in the most socially-useful manner compared to commercial operators. The set-aside creates both artificial scarcity for commercial spectrum and alters the strategic options for all parties due to the Ma over bar ori rights being perpetual and not subject to the same terms and conditions as commercial spectrum. Additional burdens are imposed on New Zealand telecommunications service consumers not borne by those in jurisdictions without such policies, and relative to the counterfactual of full open auction of the relevant rights. We conclude that the agreement effectively subjugates sector competition and efficiency objectives to distributional concerns. Furthermore, granting specific policy development rights to the Ma over bar ori entity suggests the agreement is not simply a vehicle for administering Ma over bar ori spectrum but instead establishes a constitutional co-governance partnership between a state agency and the Ma over bar ori entity governing future New Zealand spectrum policy.

We call this the cost-of-capital effect and formulate an expanded growth accounting framework to capture both effects. We apply it to a harmonized dataset for the two countries and find that the standard effect has fallen since the peak around 2000 due to lower TFP growth and a diminished share of GDP.

The study employed the panel-corrected standard errors (PCSE) and system two step system GMM techniques on a sample of 44 countries in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) over the period 2004-2020. Using an ICT composite index, the causal mediation analysis identified that ICT contributed directly to growth, as proposed by the growth theories. Furthermore, the same analysis identified; domestic investment, openness, and education as crucial variables through which ICT penetration indirectly promoted per capita growth in the SSA region. The robustness of this result was verified using a variety of tools.

However, the decisive outcome of the development relies heavily on the demand side. Consumer choice among advanced Internet broadband technologies will determine the achievement of the development. This study aims to illustrate that consumer decisions on choices of advanced Internet access are influenced by the emergence of the Internet of Things (IoT) applications. A bivariate probit model is applied to examine the effects of IoT, consumer's individual characteristics, and their current use of networks on their decision pertaining to the choice of advanced Internet access. Using Thailand as a case study, the result indicates that the emergence of loT applications accelerates the adoption of both advanced mobile broadband (5G) and advanced fixed broadband (FTTH). This finding may help policy makers to optimize the future direction of the Internet infrastructure development in Thailand, and also countries in a similar stage.", "Addresses": "[Sudtasan, Tatcha; Mitomo, Hitoshi] Waseda Univ, Grad Sch Asia Pacific Studies, Shinjuku Ku, Nishi Waseda Bldg 7F,1-21-1 Nishi Waseda, Tokyo 1690051, Japan", "Affiliations": "Waseda University", "Reprint Addresses": "Sudtasan, T (corresponding author), Waseda Univ, Grad Sch Asia Pacific Studies, Shinjuku Ku, Nishi Waseda Bldg 7F,1-21-1 Nishi Waseda, Tokyo 1690051, Japan.", "Email Addresses": "s.tatcha@fuji.waseda.jp; mitomo@waseda.jp", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "Sudtasan, Tatcha/0000-0001-6680-6881", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 74.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 6.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 6.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 1.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 10.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

The evolution of measured broadband speeds since the late 2000s documents growing differences in the incentives of dominant broadband operators to respond to demand for higher speed connectivity by increasing connectivity speeds they deliver to their customers. Dominant network operators in Canada have shown relatively stronger incentives than their counterparts in the U.S. to invest in and increase the capacity of legacy platforms. In the U.S. FTTP deployment incentives have been somewhat stronger, but network operators have been more reluctant to upgrade legacy technologies to deliver higher speeds. Diversity of strategic choices by large operators helps explain increasing regional and local broadband infrastructure gaps within the two countries. A high dividend payout financial strategy and increasing vertical integration appear to enhance the potential for overinvestment and inefficient duplication in legacy platforms by competing infrastructure providers.", "Addresses": "[Rajabiun, Reza; Middleton, Catherine] Ryerson Univ, Ted Rogers Sch Informat Technol Management, 350 Victoria St, Toronto, ON M5B 2K3, Canada", "Affiliations": "Toronto Metropolitan University", "Reprint Addresses": "Rajabiun, R (corresponding author), Ryerson Univ, Ted Rogers Sch Informat Technol Management, 350 Victoria St, Toronto, ON M5B 2K3, Canada.", "Email Addresses": "reza.rajabiun@gmail.com", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "", "Funding Orgs": "Canada Research Chairs program; Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (Canada); Ryerson University", "Funding Name Preferred": "Canada Research Chairs program(Canada Research Chairs); Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (Canada)(Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC)); Ryerson University", "Funding Text": "This research was undertaken, in part, thanks to funding from the Canada Research Chairs program and was supported by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (Canada) and Ryerson University.", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 33.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 5.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 5.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 1.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 9.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

The German regulator decided to sell this spectrum together with spectrum in the 900 MHz and 1800 MHz legacy bands. With only the three incumbent operators bidding in the auction and a relatively transparent auction design, it was possible to get a very clear impression of the actual bidding behaviour. We show that in the beginning of the auction, bidders were actively searching for a way to allocate the available spectrum that all bidders could agree to at low prices. Bidders were teaching each other what they should bid and were providing carrots and sticks. When the excess demand was concentrated in one band only, bidders started to compete head on leading to a war of attrition. This competition only stopped when bidders started to raise prices in bands that were already cleared. We interpret this bidding behaviour in terms of bidders expressing allocative externalities and conclude that the ability to do so may be regarded as a positive aspect of the transparent design.", "Addresses": "[Bichler, Martin] Tech Univ Munich, Munich, Germany; [Gretschko, Vitali] ZEW Mannheim & TWS Partners AG, Munich, Germany; [Janssen, Maarten] Univ Vienna, Vienna, Austria; [Janssen, Maarten] Higher Sch Econ, Moscow, Russia", "Affiliations": "Technical University of Munich; Zentrum fur Europaische Wirtschaftsforschung (ZEW); University of Vienna; HSE University (National Research University Higher School of Economics)", "Reprint Addresses": "Gretschko, V (corresponding author), ZEW Mannheim & TWS Partners AG, Munich, Germany.", "Email Addresses": "bichler@in.tum.de; gretschko@zew.de; maarten.janssen@univie.ac.at", "Researcher Ids": "; Janssen, Maarten/B-8111-2016", "ORCIDs": "Gretschko, Vitali/0000-0002-2729-3814; Janssen, Maarten/0000-0002-0965-2369", "Funding Orgs": "DFG [BI 1057/4-1]; DFG Research Unit Design and Behavior: Economic Engineering of Firms and Markets [FOR 1371]; Oesterreichische Nationalbank(Oesterreichische Nationalbank, Anniversary Fund) [15994]", "Funding Name Preferred": "DFG(German Research Foundation (DFG)); DFG Research Unit Design and Behavior: Economic Engineering of Firms and Markets; Oesterreichische Nationalbank(Oesterreichische Nationalbank, Anniversary Fund)", "Funding Text": "Bichler's research was supported by the DFG project BI 1057/4-1.; Gretschko's research was supported by the DFG Research Unit Design and Behavior: Economic Engineering of Firms and Markets (FOR 1371).; Janssen's research was supported by funds of the Oesterreichische Nationalbank(Oesterreichische Nationalbank, Anniversary Fund, project number: 15994).", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 22.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 11.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 11.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 0.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 8.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

This new practice challenges EU policy in two respects. Firstly, the legality of monitoring individual media consumption and using personal data of users is primarily addressed under data protection law. Secondly, tracking of viewing behaviour and personalisation of media content can also affect individuals' freedom to receive information, as well as the realisation of media policy objectives such as media freedom and pluralism, implications that so far are not reflected in media law and policy, or only marginally. This article addresses the increasing reliance on personal data and personalised services in the audiovisual and online media sector and queries the appropriateness of the legal status quo in light of implementation and enforcement actions in Germany and the Netherlands. The analysis concludes with a call for media policy makers and regulators to pay more attention to the issue of 'smart surveillance' of media users, and develops a number of concrete recommendations on how to accommodate the specific privacy concerns of media users.", "Addresses": "[Irion, Kristina; Helberger, Natali] Univ Amsterdam, Inst Informat Law IViR, POB 1030, NL-1000 BA Amsterdam, Netherlands", "Affiliations": "University of Amsterdam", "Reprint Addresses": "Irion, K (corresponding author), Univ Amsterdam, Inst Informat Law IViR, POB 1030, NL-1000 BA Amsterdam, Netherlands.", "Email Addresses": "k.irion@uva.nl; n.helberger@uva.nl", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "Helberger, Natali/0000-0003-1652-0580", "Funding Orgs": "European Research Council [638514]; European Research Council (ERC) [638514] Funding Source: European Research Council (ERC)", "Funding Name Preferred": "European Research Council(European Research Council (ERC)); European Research Council (ERC)(European Research Council (ERC)Spanish Government)", "Funding Text": "This work was supported by the European Research Council under Grant 638514 (PersoNews).

These households, termed un-adopters, comprised 12% of all non-adopting households as of 2013. In comparison with their never-adopter counterparts, un-adopters are significantly more likely to cite cost, the potential to use the Internet elsewhere, and the inadequacy of their computer as reasons for their discontinued use. Using national data from the 2013 Current Population Survey, a multinomial logit model assesses the reasons that these households no longer maintain a broadband connection. The findings suggest that to reach unadopters, subsidized access may be warranted for households with incomes up to $40,000, and that programs on broadband awareness may be most effectively targeted towards retirees. These results are reinforced with recent data from the FCC's Low-Income Broadband Pilot Projects, where approximately 22% of those signing up for the program were previous un-adopters. Understanding and engaging un-adopters will be crucial as the FCC Low-income Broadband program and other adoption-oriented policies move forward. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd.

It is claimed that the presence of a hierarchical and well interconnected network, matched with a price-matching promise, may provide a crucial early mover's advantage against the second country's mobile provider, and entrant into the broadband mobile access segment An upstream mobile connectivity dataset based on a large number of traceroutes was generated using Portolan, an Android's smartphones application. These data were used to perform an Internet Periphery Analysis highlighting the role played by existing connection agreements between Bhutan's incumbent network and other key international Internet providers. These international operators emerge as critical and central nodes for the Bhutanese interconnection network, a role providing them with a favourable bargaining position along the Internet end to end connectivity chain. The analysis identifies the need for regulatory authorities to address features of the hierarchical structure of network connectivity, in order to ensure cost-based network access, a precondition for entry and fair competition in the broadband mobile market.

These businesses create value by bringing advertisers and users together. Access to user data is critical to this process. On the basis of economic literature, the features of multi-sided platforms will be discussed. It will be argued that the characteristics of multi-sided platforms increase the likelihood that successful companies become dominant due to the existence of indirect network effects. In these circumstances, dominant platforms may foreclose competition by raising barriers to entry in the large collections of user data. This may give rise to access problems for competitors and new entrants that need access to data gathered by dominant platforms in order to provide competing or complementary services. A comparative legal analysis will be used to assess the standards that are applicable in the United States (US) and the European Union (EU) for finding liability for refusals to deal under antitrust or competition law. The private antitrust cases that have already occurred regarding access to user data in the US show that the scope of applicability of the US essential facilities doctrine is very limited after the judgment of the Supreme Court in Trinko. Although the European Commission and the European Court of Justice seem to be willing to accept liability for a refusal to deal more easily than their US counterparts, high legal hurdles still have to be met under the essential facilities doctrine in the EU. Nevertheless, there are scenarios in which liability for refusals to give access to data will likely be accepted in the EU. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd.

It relies on micro-level data on 106,989 households from 27 EU countries, from 2005 to 2009, to estimate the impact of universal service obligations on public payphone use. A counterfactual scenario predicts the average use of public payphones if no universal service obligations were imposed in the EU countries. The estimation results show that universal service obligations do not have any significant impact on public payphone use. Only coverage obligations, i.e., when the law imposes a minimum number of payphones depending on the density of population, have a positive, though low, impact on payphone use.

It identifies two emerging models: (1) interconnection and compensation arrangements that increase the total payments to Internet Service Providers (ISPs) from end users, upstream ISPs and content providers; and (2) strategies by content creators and distributors to achieve congestion-free delivery at the lowest cost. While supportive of commercially negotiated agreements, the paper suggests that the two emerging models will trigger more disputes as interconnecting parties increasingly lack motivation to cooperate in finding ways to balance traffic flows and instead seek ever increasing compensation. The paper recommends that National Regulatory Authorities require ISPs to engage in transparent network management practices, backed up with reporting requirements that can help identify the causes of congestion and degraded service. The paper also suggests ways for regulators to resolve disputes between ISPs and content providers that could harm consumers, particularly when retail ISPs, providing the first and last kilometer of service, seek to leverage access to end users by demanding surcharges from upstream carriers and content providers. By creating such a bottleneck, retail ISPs may reduce the value of Internet access subscriptions, or increase costs even when congestion remedies do not require more broadband network capacity. Reporting requirements can provide empirical data for necessary forensic investigations that can determine whether a massive increase in traffic volume has caused congestion, or a carrier has artificially created it by strategic allocation of existing bandwidth and switching capacity.

There are many detection approaches, some performed primarily by network operators and some by application-layer agents. This paper describes capabilities, limitations, privacy issues, and policy implications of detection technologies and their countermeasures, in part through quantitative analysis of empirical data. Different approaches are better for different purposes. Network operators are well-positioned to estimate how widespread copyright violations are, but application-layer detection from outside entities has important advantages when the purpose is punishment. Detection is also imperfect, so policies should require more transparency regarding how it is done than we see today. It is shown that, although network operators may not detect every transfer, and they typically miss more video than audio, they can identify most individuals who share copyrighted files via P2P after several weeks of monitoring provided that traffic is unencrypted, which is useful for some purposes. However, it is also shown that encryption is already in use, and it effectively prevents network operators from detecting transfers of copyrighted content. Thus, if network operators are held responsible for monitoring illegal file sharing, there is a tension between using detection to identify violators of copyright law for punishment, which may motivate even greater use of encryption, and using detection for other purposes such as creating fair compensation schemes for copyright-holders, warning users that they may be violating copyright law, or allocating network resources. Alternatively, there are forms of detection that are not evaded through encryption, and application-layer agents rather than network operators are primarily responsible for these. These copyright policy issues are intertwined with network neutrality policy in subtle ways. Network neutrality rules do not protect illegal transfers of copyrighted content, but if network operators are responsible for enforcement (as in graduated response) then regulators must determine when it is reasonable to terminate or degrade service based on allegations of copyright violation given the limitations of detection technology to prove those allegations. Allegations of copyright violation should be considered invalid unless they are accompanied with information about how detection was performed and an opportunity for rebuttal.

However, due to lagging adoption, many service innovations have failed to generate profit. The adoption of different mobile service categories depends on several factors. The current explorative study aims to use Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to identify the most relevant mobile services for consumers and the factors driving the adoption. The results of the AHP analyses indicate that functionality of services is of utmost important for the majority of respondents. The results reveal that basic mobile communication services are the most preferred ones, although several services within different categories are available. The results have important implications for mobile network operators, service and application providers on how to develop and implement specific mobile services. The current study also offers new insights for researchers by showing that AHP is applicable to analyze consumers' preferences. (c) 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

Despite the best efforts of mainstream financial institutions, financial exclusion is depriving millions of poor any chance to attain adequate standard of living. Telecommunication infrastructure growth especially mobile phone penetration has created an opportunity for providing financial inclusion. The current state of mobile banking is characterized by a top-down approach. This paper presents a bottom-up approach of designing mobile banking service which would be acceptable and accessible to the poor customers. The results point to clear preference of the urban poor for a joint bank-telecom led mobile banking model. Conjoint analysis of the data points to preference for attributes related to security/safety of a bank along with the coverage, accessibility and nimbleness of a telecom service provider with minimal documentation. The paper in its conclusion exhorts the regulators, telecom service providers and financial institutions to involve end-users in order to create a sustainable mobile banking service for financial inclusion.

First, it aims to find out which socio-demographic, economic and geographical factors predict the use of e-government services. Second, the article aims to show whether these factors moderate the way in which the time spent on the Internet is associated with the use of e-government services. The article is based on survey data (N=612) collected in Finland in May-June 2011 and is analysed by using a logistic regression modelling. Results show that gender and income moderate the link between the Internet and e-government service use. The more that women use the Internet, the more they use the government's electronic services. However, among men, the use of e-services does not increase similarly with the use of the Internet. Regarding income indicators, results imply that e-service use increases with Internet use but only among the respondents with low income levels. Additionally, the article shows that education, children, income and the size of the place of residence have major effects on the use of the government's e-services. Lastly, the empirical results are briefly discussed in relation to the digital divide discussion and some policy implications are presented. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

It was not until the last days of the Jasmine revolution in January 2011 that the Tunisian government shut down the censorship regime, raising numerous questions about Internet censorship in Tunisia. This article will look at how former Tunisian president Ben Ali was able to shut down the Internet censorship regime within a matter of hours. In order to answer this question, it looks at the history of the Tunisian Internet and its Internet censorship regime, before analysing Internet architecture, Internet institutions, functional differentiation between elements of the regime and the role of international technology markets. Each of these factors contributes to the overall censorship regime and helps understand how former President Ben Ali was able to shutdown Internet censorship within a matter of hours. In conclusion, tracing the genesis of the Tunisian censorship regime may contribute to understanding the role of institutional, architectural and market-based factors in enabling other censorship regimes across the world.

Next, equilibrium outcomes and welfare effects under alternative scenarios of future termination rates are predicted. Lowering termination rates typically lowers profits of all networks and improves consumer and total surplus. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd.

This discussion has highlighted a dilemma that ultimately shapes investment-how to encourage the widespread deployment of NGA while enabling operators to achieve reasonable returns. This paper focuses on the tensions that arise as a consequence of this investment challenge in three countries - the Netherlands. Sweden and the United Kingdom (UK) - and uses the analysis of extensive data collection with k7ey actors to argue the case for the injection of public or private incentives. The paper finds that markets with competitive infrastructure will not benefit from public investment while markets with geographical constraints are in need of public support. The paper also explains that regulatory intervention is necessary in the early stage of NGA roll-out, even in currently competitive markets. In all the discussions it becomes evident that, among the three cases, the UK is most in need of public intervention. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd.

However, benefits derived from these services are challenging to define formally or contractually, resulting in potential under-provisioning in traditional market economies. We propose that communities like AR that aim to promote such open-ended innovation may not benefit from exclusive-resource rights and trading. Instead of market mechanisms, non-exclusive rights regimes can be analyzed through a lens of polycentricity, but such regimes require consensus on adaptable non-market governance rules and incentive-compatible mechanisms for monitoring, sanctioning, and exclusion of nonmembers. Our AR case study exemplifies stakeholders replacing market governance with nonexclusive property-rights models to harmonize diverse autonomous entities in producing open-ended societal services.", "Addresses": "[Bustamante, Pedro] Carnegie Mellon Univ, Informat Networking Inst, Pittsburgh, PA USA; [Gomez, Marcela] Univ Pittsburgh, Off Sr Vice Chancellor Res, Pittsburgh, PA USA; [Lehr, William] MIT, CSAIL, Cambridge, CA USA; [Murtazashvili, Ilia; Palida, Ali] Univ Pittsburgh, Ctr Governance & Markets, Pittsburgh, PA 15260 USA; [Weiss, Martin B.

In practice, the digital transformation in finance has the potential to accelerate the optimal functioning of financing microstructures, including households' access to microfinance and microinsurance. Increased access to finance can lead to a reduction in income inequality and overall well-being for households. This paper investigates the impact of access to digital finance and financing microstructures on household wellbeing and the reduction of income inequality. To achieve this, we use a combination of propensity score matching, double difference, and smooth instrumental quantile regression as estimation methods with two periods of survey data. Specifically, the paper uses the FinScope consumer data (2016) and the Harmonized Living Standards Measurement Study (2018) from Togo in a comparative perspective.

It sets the scene for a more reflective discussion on the inclusivity and effectiveness of the multistakeholder model pursued at the IGF and engages with literature in the field of stakeholder mobility and stakeholder interests, opening up potential for further research on the legitimacy of multistakeholderism.", "Addresses": "[Tjahja, Nadia; Meyer, Trisha; Shahin, Jamal] United Nations Univ Inst Comparat Reg Integrat St, Potterierei 72, B-8000 Brugge, Belgium; [Tjahja, Nadia; Meyer, Trisha; Shahin, Jamal] Vrije Univ Brussel, Brussels Sch Governance, Pleinlaan 2, B-1050 Brussels, Belgium; [Shahin, Jamal] Univ Amsterdam, Amsterdam Sch Reg Transnatl & European Studies, Kloveniersburgwal 48, NL-1012 CX Amsterdam, Netherlands", "Affiliations": "Vrije Universiteit Brussel; University of Amsterdam", "Reprint Addresses": "Shahin, J (corresponding author), United Nations Univ Inst Comparat Reg Integrat St, Potterierei 72, B-8000 Brugge, Belgium.", "Email Addresses": "j.b.shahin@uva.nl", "Researcher Ids": "Shahin, Jamal/IAP-6537-2023", "ORCIDs": "Shahin, Jamal/0000-0002-6194-3956; Tjahja, Nadia/0000-0001-6973-6313", "Funding Orgs": "National Natural Science Foundation of China [51772077]; University of Henan Province [19IRTSTHN027]; Fundamental Research Funds for the Universities of Henan Province [NSFRF200101]; Key Scientific Research Projects of Colleges and Universities in Henan Province [22A430006]; Henan Polytechnic University [MDE2019-02]", "Funding Name Preferred": "National Natural Science Foundation of China(National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC)); University of Henan Province; Fundamental Research Funds for the Universities of Henan Province; Key Scientific Research Projects of Colleges and Universities in Henan Province; Henan Polytechnic University", "Funding Text": "This work was supported by National Natural Science Foundation of China (51772077) , Program for Innovative Research Team (in Science and Technology) in the University of Henan Province (19IRTSTHN027) , Fundamental Research Funds for the Universities of Henan Province (NSFRF200101) , Key Scientific Research Projects of Colleges and Universities in Henan Province (22A430006) , Henan Key Laboratory of Materials on Deep -Earth Engineering (Grant No. MDE2019-02, Henan Polytechnic University) .", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 30.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 1.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 1.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 5.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 13.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

Our findings showed domestic companies to be more efficient than multinational ones regardless of their scale. The suggested explanation is that domestic enterprises are better at managing their resources and more familiar with their local market.

It models the factors associated with switching outcomes, including the direction of change in expenditure and whether those who are observed to switch plans tend to arrive at more or less optimal plans given their usage. A dataset is employed that combines survey responses from mobile consumers with the same consumers' actual usage data in the period 2017-2019; this was collected by Ireland's national regulatory authority. The cost each consumer would have incurred on every plan offered in the market based on their observed usage is estimated. Using models that allow for selection into switching, associations between switching outcomes and demographic and user characteristics are modelled. Controls are included for plan and user attributes, including demographics and proxies for user sophistication and access to alternative communication options. A substantial proportion of intra-operator switchers in the sample increase expenditures when they switch plan. While many switchers move to plans that are more optimal given their usage, a slight majority move to plans that charge a higher price premium over the best available plan (based on observables) than the consumer's previous plan did. Few observable characteristics of consumers or plans seem to be significantly associated with which switches achieve greater optimality, although fixed operator effects are large and significant. These findings add to the weight of evidence which finds that many consumers fail to arrive at the best price even after switching.", "Addresses": "[Griffin, Mide; Lyons, Sean; Mohan, Gretta; Mac Domhnaill, Ciaran] Econ & Social Res Inst, Whitaker Sq, Dublin D02 K138 2, Ireland; [Lyons, Sean; Mohan, Gretta] Trinity Coll Dublin, Dept Econ, Dublin, Ireland; [Joseph, Merin; Evans, John] Commiss Commun Regulat, ComReg, Dublin, Ireland; [Mac Domhnaill, Ciaran] Univ St Andrews, St Andrews, Fife, Scotland", "Affiliations": "Economic & Social Research Institute (ESRI); Trinity College Dublin; University of St Andrews", "Reprint Addresses": "Lyons, S (corresponding author), Econ & Social Res Inst, Whitaker Sq, Dublin D02 K138 2, Ireland.", "Email Addresses": "mide.griffin@esri.ie; sean.lyons@esri.ie; gretta.mohan@esri.ie; merin.joseph@comreg.ie; ciaran.mac-domhnaill@ucdconnect.ie; john.evans@comreg.ie", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "Mac Domhnaill, Ciaran/0000-0002-9869-7103; Lyons, Sean/0000-0002-3526-6947", "Funding Orgs": "ESRI, Ireland; Department of the Environment, Australia Electronic Communications Research Programme - Commission for Communications Regulation; Department of the Environment, Climate and Communications in Ireland", "Funding Name Preferred": "ESRI, Ireland; Department of the Environment, Australia Electronic Communications Research Programme - Commission for Communications Regulation; Department of the Environment, Climate and Communications in Ireland", "Funding Text": "Funding was provided by the ESRI, Ireland; Department of the Environment, Australia Electronic Communications Research Programme, which jointly funded by the Commission for Communications Regulation and the Department of the Environment, Climate and Communications in Ireland.", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 61.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 2.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 2.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 0.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 3.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

To this end, we propose an integrated input-output (IO) analytical framework to detangle the intertwined relations between ICT and non-ICT sectors, and further incorporate structural path analysis (SPA) and structural decomposition analysis (SDA) to examine the extent to which and how ICT sub-sectors drive the formations and changes of embodied routine/non-routine jobs in ICT. An empirical study using China's national IO tables from World Input-Output Database and the matched occupational employment data derived from 2000 and 2010 Population Census is conducted. We find that China's ICT growth over 2000-2010 has not led to a decline in jobs, which still holds true for both ICT manufacturing and ICT service, as well as for routine/non-routine jobs. We also find an increase in the embodied employment share of non-routine relative to routine jobs. The typical paths source sector-* (intermediate sector)-* ICT final demand generate many routine/non-routine jobs, which are primarily lied in the zero and first rounds. The decomposition results show that the declining sectoral routine/nonroutine job coefficients drives the decline of both ICT embodied routine and non-routine jobs (especially the former), which is completely offset by the rising final demand of ICT. The proposed integrated IO analytical framework could also be applied to other indicators and extended to multi-country/region analysis.", "Addresses": "[Niu, Meng; Wang, Zhenguo; Zhang, Yabin] Hunan Univ, Sch Econ & Trade, 109 Shi Jia Chong Rd, Changsha, Hunan, Peoples R China", "Affiliations": "Hunan University", "Reprint Addresses": "Wang, ZG (corresponding author), Hunan Univ, Sch Econ & Trade, 109 Shi Jia Chong Rd, Changsha, Hunan, Peoples R China.", "Email Addresses": "wzghenu2013@126.com", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "Wang, Zhenguo/0000-0003-0515-6373", "Funding Orgs": "Major Program of National Fund of Philosophy and Social Science of China [18ZDA068]; National Natural Science Foundation of China [71803042]", "Funding Name Preferred": "Major Program of National Fund of Philosophy and Social Science of China; National Natural Science Foundation of China(National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC))", "Funding Text": "Funding This work was supported by the Major Program of National Fund of Philosophy and Social Science of China [grant number 18ZDA068] ; and the National Natural Science Foundation of China [grant number 71803042] .", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 50.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 10.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 10.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 15.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 42.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

Using literature-based socio-economic and geographical variables, we examine how well variation in international introduction times of four generations of mobile telephony in 172 countries can be explained and forecast. We model and forecast introduction times at two levels of granularity: we use Cox?s proportional hazards model for the introduction time; we partition countries into introduction time-based segments and model segment membership using multinomial logistic regression. Our modelling of each generation considers three subsets of explanatory variables: All variables, socio-economic Covariates only, Regional dummies only. Over successive generations, the Covariates only models reveal the changing relevance of each socio-economic covariate. Model-based forecasting of the introduction time of the next generation is performed under three hypotheses making different uses of the information available at the time the relevant generation is launched internationally. However, changing socioeconomic environments coupled with changing models impair forecasting accuracy, the lower accuracy of modelled introduction times is concentrated in 20% of countries.

Special emphasis is placed on micro as well as on small and medium-sized establishments in contracting areas. Data cover information on 290 municipalities in Sweden for the period 2010?2018. Results of Fixed Effects and Spatial Durbin model estimations reveal a significant but rather small direct effect of lagged high-speed broadband access, driven by the micro establishments. However, when the proportion of establishments with high-speed broadband access is combined with the local presence of university educated employees and researchers, a stronger indirect relationship appears. There is also some evidence that the broadband availability in neighbouring municipalities has a spillover effect. A high degree of heterogeneity is found in the results, where the relationship is far weaker in contracting municipalities and in those with a low-skilled workforce.", "Addresses": "[Falk, Martin] Univ South Eastern Norway, Dept Business & IT, Sch Business, Campus Bo,Gullbringvegen 36, N-3800 Bo, Norway; [Hagsten, Eva] Swedish Agcy Econ & Reg Growth, Vastgotagatan 5, IS-11827 Stockholm, Iceland; [Hagsten, Eva] Univ Iceland, Reykjavik, Iceland", "Affiliations": "University of Iceland", "Reprint Addresses": "Hagsten, E (corresponding author), Swedish Agcy Econ & Reg Growth, Vastgotagatan 5, IS-11827 Stockholm, Iceland.;Hagsten, E (corresponding author), Univ Iceland, Reykjavik, Iceland.", "Email Addresses": "martin.falk@usn.no; evamarie@hi.is", "Researcher Ids": "Hagsten, Eva/AAH-7574-2019; Hagsten, Eva/AAL-7086-2020; Falk, Martin Thomas/T-8325-2019", "ORCIDs": "Hagsten, Eva/0000-0001-7091-1449; Falk, Martin Thomas/0000-0003-0518-6513", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 45.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 10.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 11.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 1.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 6.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

As important as they are likely to be, their implications are still little known. This article's purpose is an attempt to provide a policy space within which to begin fill that void. It presents a non-technical introduction to the concept of quantum mechanics in general, to the unique characteristics of sub-atomic particles, to quantum applications, and to QC and QAI in particular. The development of fully functioning quantum information technologies is in its early stages, but is being pursued aggressively. One of the most salient of these is Quantum Artificial Intelligence (QAI) - a fusion of QC and AI - which some see as potentially threatening. There is little in established telecommunications or information policies to inform our approach to its capabilities. The article notes some of the challenges to development of quantum-based information technologies and considers the scope of global competition to the U.S. in this field, especially from China. It reviews the treatment of Quantum Information Science in U.S. policy. It describes the current policy environment and the range of new measures which might be available, if needed, to incorporate QAI into an overall information policy regime. In conclusion the article reviews the debate over adoption of the precautionary principle for QAI, an approach to policy when it must deal with weakly understood causes of potentially catastrophic or irreversible events. It sets out the arguments pro and con, and in the absence of an immediate resolution proposes adoption of a policy space in which stakeholders can address their salient concerns, without materially impairing technological progress and commercial viability.", "Addresses": "[Taylor, Richard D.] Penn State Univ, Telecommun Studies & Law Emeritus, Bellisario Coll Commun, 201 Carnegie Bldg, University Pk, PA 16802 USA", "Affiliations": "Pennsylvania Commonwealth System of Higher Education (PCSHE); Pennsylvania State University; Pennsylvania State University - University Park", "Reprint Addresses": "Taylor, RD (corresponding author), Penn State Univ, Telecommun Studies & Law Emeritus, Bellisario Coll Commun, 201 Carnegie Bldg, University Pk, PA 16802 USA.", "Email Addresses": "rdt4@psu.edu", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 74.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 10.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 10.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 2.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 27.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

This generation, which we call Digital Natives, has become a prime target for mobile operators due to their size, spending power, and use intensity. In addition, they tend to be influential trend setters when it comes to the adoption of new digital solutions. In the dynamic emerging economy of Turkey, they are of even greater interest to mobile operators as they surpass their peers in many advanced economies in terms of use intensity. Despite its importance, our knowledge of the loyalty and churn behavior of this customer segment is very limited. We respond to this research gap by drawing insights from a comprehensive survey of digital natives in the Turkish context. The empirical data originates from a survey of 2000 Turkish university students. We employ Binomial Logistic Regression analysis which provides interesting managerial and public policy insights. Our findings demonstrate that such customer service factors as call quality, billing and brand image affect both the loyalty and churn intentions of Turkish Digital Natives. Surprisingly, youth loyalty club programs, duration of subscription, and prior churn experience are found to be not significant. These results lead to practical implications for mobile providers and telecom regulators operating in Turkey and elsewhere.", "Addresses": "[Uner, M.

It further estimates the trivariate impacts of telecommunication infrastructures, economic growth and development in the region. The analysis considers a panel of forty-six African countries from 2000 to 2015. To measure economic growth, real gross domestic product serves as the proxy, while economic development is measured by the Human Development Index, and telecommunication infrastructures by a composite index of telecommunication computed from mobile line, fixed line and internet access penetration via principal component analysis (PCA). The empirical results suggest the existence of a bidirectional long-run relationship between telecommunication infrastructures, economic growth and development. The causality tests reveal that there is feedback causality between telecommunication infrastructures, economic growth and development. Telecommunication infrastructures promote economic growth and development in Africa and vice versa. Thus, there is need to promote inclusive and holistic policies that will enhance digital provide, economic growth and development simultaneously in Africa. An increase in telecommunication infrastructures will encourage aggregate output and standard of living to move in the same direction in Africa.", "Addresses": "[David, Oladipo Olalekan] North West Univ, Fac Econ & Management Sci, Sch Econ Sci, Vaal Campus, Potchefstroom, South Africa; [David, Oladipo Olalekan] Univ Hradec Kralove, Dept Econ, Fac Informat & Management, Hradec Kralove, Czech Republic", "Affiliations": "North West University - South Africa; University of Hradec Kralove", "Reprint Addresses": "David, OO (corresponding author), North West Univ, Fac Econ & Management Sci, Sch Econ Sci, Vaal Campus, Potchefstroom, South Africa.", "Email Addresses": "olalekan.david@gmail.com", "Researcher Ids": "David, Oladipo Olalekan/ABG-8031-2020", "ORCIDs": "David, Oladipo Olalekan/0000-0002-9922-9504", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 82.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 42.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 42.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 1.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 53.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "London", "Publisher Address": "125 London Wall, London, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

The relevant transaction costs are affected by both the number of telecommunication subscriptions and the speed of the available bandwidth. We test for the differential effects of telecommunication quantity (data subscriptions per capita) and quality (bandwidth data speed per subscription) of fixed and mobile telephony and internet services on countries' bilateral exports of goods. We use an augmented Gravity Model and control for multilateral resistance. Regression results for 122 countries over 1995-2008 show a significant effect on export performance of both variables. In the sub-sample analysis we find that data speed quality is what matters most for developing countries, while the quantity of subscriptions is more relevant for developed ones. We explain this by the disadvantage developing countries derive from being far from the technological communication frontier in terms of data speed, while the diffusion of additional high speed subscriptions in developed countries open up new markets there. This illustrates the importance of going beyond the traditional assessment of telecommunication infrastructure in terms of the number of subscriptions, and urges both scholars and policy-makers to start considering bandwidth quality.", "Addresses": "[Abeliansky, Ana L.] Univ Gottingen, Dept Econ, Gottingen, Germany; [Hilbert, Martin] Univ Calif Davis, Dept Commun, Davis, CA 95616 USA", "Affiliations": "University of Gottingen; University of California System; University of California Davis", "Reprint Addresses": "Abeliansky, AL (corresponding author), Univ Gottingen, Dept Econ, Gottingen, Germany.", "Email Addresses": "ana-lucia.abeliansky@wiwi.uni-goettingen.de; hilbert@ucdavis.edu", "Researcher Ids": "Hilbert, Martin/E-7845-2010", "ORCIDs": "", "Funding Orgs": "DFG", "Funding Name Preferred": "DFG(German Research Foundation (DFG))", "Funding Text": "We would like to thank the participants of the CESifo Conference on Estimation of Gravity Models of Bilateral Trade, XVI Goettingen International Economics Workshop, ETSG 2014, Economics of Global Interactions' Conference and the GLAD research seminar in Hannover.

We examine the impact of service and facility-based competition on firm-level investment as well as the strategic effects underlying infrastructure investment decisions. At the same time we explicitly model the structural dynamics of broadband investment by means of a flexible accelerator model. The empirical specification employs dynamic panel estimation techniques which allow us to account for various sources of endogeneity. We find that facility-based competition exerts a positive and significant impact on both incumbents and entrants implying that incumbents' and entrants' investment decisions are strategic complements. Moreover, we find that intermodal competition in terms of fixed-mobile substitution exerts different effects at the firm level. Finally, we show that service-based competition appears to have no significant impact on the investment decision of incumbents and entrants. However, with respect to the later phase of market liberalization, service-based competition exerts a negative impact on entrants' investment. Our results thus also provide relevant policy guidance on the role of service-based competition in regulating emerging high-speed broadband infrastructure. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd.

However, relatively few studies examine the mechanisms by which spatial inequality explains the existing digital divide in a developing country. Applying the normalisation and stratification thesis in diffusion theory, this study examines the ways in which spatial inequality is related to the Internet divide in Indonesia, a developing country that is currently growing in its use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT), but that has experienced unequal regional development in the last three decades. Data comes from the Indonesian national socio-economic survey (Susenas) 2010-2012, which comprises 3.3 million individuals, 750,000 households and 292 districts. Far from moving towards convergence, the Internet divide expanded during this period; the inequality of Internet access by age, gender, income, and education deepens and widens across urban-rural, city-countryside, and remote island-mainland island areas. The results of analyses using both stratified and multilevel models indicate that supply factors across districts - particularly district disparities in telecommunications infrastructures, human capital and education services - are associated with the Internet divide. The results are robust against individual, household and district socio-economic characteristics associated with the Internet divide. Enlarging the distribution of telecommunication infrastructures and education facilities, particularly across districts in rural, countryside and remote islands, may thus help to bridge the Internet divide in Indonesia.

Under this model, regulation is designed to enable entrants to make progressively greater investments in their own networks, whilst decreasing their dependence on the network of the incumbent fixed operator. The ultimate goal of the LoI approach is to achieve, where feasible, inter platform competition. However, it is unclear, from a theoretical perspective, whether the LoI approach to regulation will necessarily lead to inter-platform competition. Whether and under what circumstances it would is thus an empirical question. There is a rich literature which has empirically estimated the degree to which the LoI describes the evolution of competition in Western European (WE) countries. The contribution of this paper is to empirically test whether the LoI also explains the development of telecommunications markets in Central and Eastern European (CEE) countries. Our analysis finds that the telecommunications entrants in CEE countries largely chose to by-pass the LoI, by directly investing in their own networks. There are good reasons for this, as some of the necessary conditions which underpin the LoI theory, such as good quality and widely available copper networks, and the relatively high cost and risk of investing in alternative infrastructure, do not necessarily hold in CEE countries. The implication of this result is that the LoI should not be considered a universally applicable theory which explains the evolution of competition in all broadband markets. Rather its applicability depends on several country specific factors which were not present to the same degree in CEE countries compared with WE countries. Policy makers, regulators and competition authorities therefore need to take this into account when dealing with the issues of entry, investment and competition in broadband markets across the CEE region.

From the literature review, it is anticipated that the use of both media can positively effect social capital and civic participation, which are essential for an efficient recovery. However, as this can be questioned it is important to understand and demonstrate how media can affect people's perception and behaviour in post-disaster recovery, especially considering the current complex media environment. The two media in consideration are very different, but at the same time are highly intertwined. Currently, few previous studies on this question can be found because suitable case studies limited as nature disaster of such a scale rarely occur and the media environment is rapidly changing. This study proposes a two-model approach to examine the effects of ICT and mass media in post-disaster recovery from two different perspectives in media studies: the active and passive audience perspectives. Using data collected from the three prefectures that were directly hit by the disaster, the results of the two models demonstrate a consistent pattern that the use of both ICT and mass media can create positive effects in post-disaster recovery. They increase the level of social capital through building bonding trust, network bridging and civic participation, as well as increase a person's intention to participate in post-disaster related activities. Thus, it can now be argued that both ICT and mass media can have positively contributed to the recovery. These findings have important implications for NGOs as well as policy makers that are working on the recovery.

However, prior measures leave room for extensions. Therefore, this paper introduces a new second-order overall index assessing the availability, adoption and usage intensity of telecommunication networks and services at the country level. The proposed Telecommunications Development Index (TDI) integrates 11 indicators, which are grouped into three first-level subindices labeled Supply, Adoption and Usage. Indicator and subindex weights used in combining them into higher-order measures are computed drawing on Partial Least Squares (PLS) structural equation modeling (SEM) techniques. The modeling rests on the assumption that TDI weights should be outcome-specific and thus constructed in a way that maximizes the indicators' and subindices' capability, respectively to predict socially desirable national performance criteria such as per capita gross domestic product (GDP) change or a country's Human Development Index (HDI) value. Based on data from 111 countries, this approach was used to calculate weights of the indicators and subindices merged into a total TDI predicting either GDP per capita change or a country's HDI. In both TDI variants the Adoption subindex variable fixed broadband subscriptions per household and the Supply subindex variable international bandwidth capacity available per Internet user achieved the highest relative weights of all indicators in the prediction of the two studied social outcome criteria. The PLS SEM results were used to calculate scores of the two TDI variations for each of the sample countries. TDI-based rankings of the countries were compared with a ranking derived from the Information and Communication Technologies Development Index of the International Telecommunication Union.

It would remain within the EU and in compliance with its acquis communitaire. This paper identifies issues that would have to be addressed in preparing for and creating a new system of governance for telecommunications markets on that tight timescale. A Scottish Parliament and devolved administration were created in 1999, though without powers over telecommunications or competition law. The Scottish administration has its own economic strategy in which the deployment and adoption of broadband play a part. The creation of new countries has been commonplace in recent years (e.g., in the fission of the USSR and Yugoslavia), but are not precedents for the independence of one part of a regulatory state in which markets deliver services. Less than one-tenth of the UK market would be separated, with all the laws, rules and institutional arrangements to be replicated. The biggest challenge would be to split the existing licences and market operations, one for Scotland and one for the rest of the UK. Operators would revaluate Scotland and would seek to revisit established regulatory decisions, though with a new regulator lacking information about the costs, market shares and viabilities of the new operators and the new markets.

Results show that investment sharing can potentially be beneficial in terms of competition and investments, but the number of firms involved matters and so does the choice of the NGN access price, for insiders and outsiders of the agreement. Even when the presence of firms outside of the agreement force insiders to compete more fiercely, there might be a concern with the potential exclusion of the outsiders from the NGN.

Spectrum policy is paramount as spectrum is a scarce resource allocated by regulatory authorities. Hence, when allocating spectrum and determining the potential use of spectrum, the regulatory authorities have a significant influence on the competitive situation in mobile markets. Mobile telecommunications services, especially the growing mobile broadband and mobile data business, use different spectrum bands (typically 800 MHz, 900 MHz, 1800 MHz, 2100 MHz and 2600 MHz). The propagation characteristics of the different bands vary; this has an impact not only on costs for network rollout but also on the relative value of the spectrum, which is expressed in the prices achieved in allocation proceedings such as auctions. In this paper, the impact of spectrum allocation on the network cost is analyzed. The access network costs are considered based on different spectrum allocations and technologies and compared to the acquisition costs of spectrum. Based on economic modeling and previous research, it is possible to demonstrate that the economic differences between spectrum below 1 GHz and above 1 GHz are considerable. As long as these differences are reflected in the prices, no outcomes on competition exist. As spectrum though is allocated and administered by regulatory authorities, this is not on always the case, which might lead to distorted competition. Hence, the finding of the study is that the propagation characteristics of the spectrum is a factor to be considered when allocating spectrum due to its effect on network costs and hence, eventually competition problems due to asymmetric allocation.

Thus, the purpose of this paper is to understand and identify the critical success factors for the development of broadband services in a developing country context, using the case of Peru. In this regard, this study uses data collected from interviews with Peruvian telecommunications professionals, policy makers and regional telecommunication experts, which is supplemented by official reports and statistical data to determine the critical success factors for broadband in this country. The four factors derived are; (i) expand the availability of infrastructure, (ii) define a national broadband policy that aligns the interests of stakeholders, (iii) develop effective competition in the broadband market, and (iv) stimulate the demand for broadband services. Through a MACTOR analysis the authors found that the objectives of sharing infrastructure, the further deployment of infrastructure and the development of competition in the market for broadband services are those that generate the most divergence between actors. Additionally, the MACTOR analysis determined that no disagreement existed for the objectives related to demand stimulation. Thus, four proposals are offered for the development of Peruvian broadband. The results are relevant for academics and policy makers interested broadband development in developing countries and for rural areas of developed countries. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

The aim of this study was to verify if network effects may still play a role in the Polish mobile telecommunications market, measure their strength, identify their sources and variability across consumers by accounting for consumers' observable and unobservable preference heterogeneity, evaluate their monetary value to consumers, and finally, to verify if the marginal utility associated with network effects is constant. The analysis of consumers' revealed choices (currently used mobile telephone operator) allowed the identification of major differences between customer bases of incumbent and new entrant operators, and insight into the business strategies adopted in the presence of asymmetric regulation of mobile termination rates. The second part of the study the analysis of the consumers' stated choices (made in carefully prepared and designed hypothetical choice situations, known as the choice experiments) made it possible to directly model consumers' utility functions and, in this way, investigate the nature of network effects in mobile telecommunications markets. From the results, the presence of strong network effects, which are related to the ratio of consumers' social network group using the same operator, and to the magnitude of on-net price discounts, is confirmed. These network effects can be disaggregated to pecuniary and non-pecuniary effects. Through the utilization of the random parameters multinomial logit model, consumers' observable and unobservable preference heterogeneity can be accounted for, which proved a scientifically revealing and potentially policy-relevant approach. The results might be of a particular interest to other researchers aiming at modeling consumers' preferences as well as to mobile telephone operators and regulatory authorities it is shown that capacity for vigorous price competition between mobile operators is limited by non-price factors, which affect subscriber's choices, especially in the presence of asymmetric mobile termination rates.

Considering the characteristics of broadband as a network, many governments introduced service-based competition, which is assumed to lower entry barriers by allowing entrants to lease incumbents' facilities, as a stepping stone to facilities-based competition. Questioning this unidirectional approach, the present study examines how the direction of policy implementation, that is service- to facilities-based versus facilities- to service-based, affects broadband diffusion. Through the case study of the U.S. and South Korea which experienced both modes of competition in opposing temporal sequences, this research concludes that facilities- to service-based competition might contribute to higher and faster broadband diffusion than service- to facilities-based competition. Rather than impose unbundling obligations against incumbents, facilities-based competition with financial support of the government to entrants seems to induce an earlier peak in broadband penetration. Additionally, consistent commitment of the government enforcement appears to be critical in implementing service-based competition. Though limited to the cases of the U.S. and Korea, this study suggests that service-based competition may be neither a necessity to facilitate broadband diffusion nor a precondition to introduce facilities-based competition. Moreover, service-based competition policy can function to deter overbuild of facilities and lessen the financial burden of broadband service providers if adopted after an initial period of facilities-based competition policy, which includes government investment in broadband facilities, that seems to help promote competition and give incentives to construct networks. Contrary to the literature, the present study raises a new perspective of the role of service-based competition as an enhancer for service quality and that of facilities-based competition with government investment as a booster of early and rapid broadband diffusion.

Then, using 10 table cross-entropy updating technique, the paper investigates the convergence evolution of four ICT manufacturing sectors from 1997 to 2002. The research finds the following conclusions. In 2002, the supply side convergence of manufacturing sectors was higher than that of service sectors, while service sectors featured a higher degree of the demand side convergence. The year of 2002 witnessed high complementary convergence between some China's ICT manufacturing and service sectors. During the period from 1997 to 2002, the supply side convergence dominated the convergence of China's ICT industry, while the demand-side convergence experienced little structural change.

A nationwide system could be created to serve both public safety and commercial subscribers, which would allow a provider to exploit important economies but force it to meet the more costly requirements of public safety. This paper analyzes the viability of a public-private partnership that serves public safety and commercial subscribers from a for-profit provider's perspective. A model is presented that estimates the net present value (NPV) of a wireless network by calculating costs based on the number of cell sites required and revenue based on the projected number of subscribers acquired. The model is applied to both a network that serves only commercial subscribers on 10 MHz of 700 MHz spectrum and a public-private partnership that serves commercial subscribers and public safety personnel on 20 MHz of 700 MHz spectrum. It is found that NPV is greater for the public-private partnership than for the commercial-only network for any population density, which shows that the value of 10 MHz of spectrum exceeds the cost of meeting public safety requirements. Furthermore, the paper demonstrates that NPV/cell increases with population density, so urban areas are profitable and rural areas are unprofitable. The paper demonstrates that a partnership covering 94% of the US population breaks even because the most urban 56% of population subsidizes coverage for the next 38%. If initial deployment is subsidized, a financially sustainable public-private partnership can serve much more than 94%. Additionally, it is shown that allowing urban municipalities to opt-out of the partnership can significantly increase the subsidies required. (c) 2010 Elsevier Ltd.

Understanding the evolving characteristics of the ICT services trade is pivotal for trade participants to formulate effective policies and enhance their competitive advantages. This study used the data from UN COMTRADE to construct ICT services trade networks spanning from 2004 to 2020. Using complex network analysis methods, it delved into several aspects of ICT services trade, including trade patterns, trade relationships, and participating countries. The findings revealed that central countries in ICT services trade are progressively dominating trade relationships. Moreover, many countries in the middle and lower tiers of the ICT services trade system tend to engage in bilateral trade with major economies or form trade alliances with a select few nations. Examining the evolution of trade participants, early adopter countries such as the United States, Ireland, and the United Kingdom have solidified stable competitive advantages in ICT services trade. Building upon these findings, the study puts forth several recommendations to enhance the competitiveness of the ICT services trade. This study not only enriches the existing knowledge base on ICT services trade networks but also provides valuable insights for shaping policies in this domain.

This study investigates whether the convergence of many of the proposed ethical frameworks around a narrow set of values and principles may be interpreted as a case of transnational norms emergence, a pre-condition for a more structured global regulatory framework or policy regime. Moreover, it explores how this emerging normative framework is reframed in its concrete implementation.

A propensity score matching method is applied to address the selection bias that existed prior to the intervention and to make a causal inference. We find that, on average, Internet usage increased subjective social well-being significantly. The heterogeneity analysis reveals that, in terms of the future subjective well-being (FSWB), Internet usage has a larger impact on rural households.

Specifically, economic performance is measured by total factor productivity (TFP) growth and financial performance is examined in terms of factors explaining accounting and market returns with the aid of seventy-six firm data set over a twelve year period (2004-2016).While thirty years of rapid development in the Indian IT services export sector is well docu-mented, this paper suggests that much of the growth is attributable to replication rather than innovation. Results support the proposition that growth in the real output of Indian IT services sector is predominantly due to growth in real inputs (96%), as TFP accounts for only 4%. In addition, our estimation of Cobb-Douglas production function suggests modest economies of scale in the range of 1.06-1.14. With respect to financial performance, regression results confirm the important role of asset turnover, dividends, and debt in explaining accounting return measured by return on assets (39% adjusted R2). On the other hand, as expected, regression results explain only 10-14% (adjusted R2) of market return, which is total return on stocks including dividends. Statistically significant variables affecting market returns are: exchange rate, asset turnover, payout ratio, and standard deviation of the market return itself.", "Addresses": "[Rao, P.

It is demonstrated that it is straightforward to establish the equations describing the various economic systems under study, however, the equations are often too complex to be solved analytically in the general case. Though the paper presents simple and idealized cases, the solutions may, nevertheless, uncover important strategic aspects that otherwise may be hidden by complexity in the general case, for example, the reasons for slow initial market growth.

In 2019, with widespread territorial disparities, approximately 53.6% people were connected to the Internet worldwide. The majority of the offline user lives in the least developed countries, and only 19% of them use the internet, compared to 87% in developed nations. Sustainable development depends on successful management of open and inclusive urban development, especially in low-income and middle-income countries, where the fastest urbanization is expected to occur by the year 2050. The application of ICT enhances the independence, dignity, and equal opportunities of all people, thereby promoting their integration into society. An inclusive approach-based citizen participation is extremely important for building an inclusive society. Furthermore, this study highlights the current issues and challenges in developing countries, as well as the role of ICT in promoting socio-economic development, where it can serve as a catalyst for the implementation of the concept of sustainable urbanization.

In particular, the fast-changing Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has directly led to a far-reaching impact on the production and operation of firms. Many previous studies have discussed the relationship of ICT and the total factor productivity (TFP) of firms, but failed to reach a consistent conclusion. This paper, based on the data of Chinese listed manufacturing firms from 2010 to 2019, explores the impact of ICT on manufacturing firms' TFP and its mechanism, and concludes that ICT have positive correlation with the TFP of manufacturing firms. According to the estimated results of this paper, TFP will increase by about 1.8 % for every 1 % of additional ICT investment. Through channel analysis, this paper finds that the positive effect can be achieved through the following four channels: cutting information search costs, enhancing information processing capabilities, reducing internal capital misallocation, and promoting R&D efficiency. This paper is a supplement to research on firm TFP, provides new micro-evidence for exploring the relationship between ICT and TFP of manufacturing firms, and brings important implications for understanding the role of ICT in firm production activities.", "Addresses": "[Li, Dongkun] Cent Univ Finance & Econ CUFE, Sch Econ, Beijing, Peoples R China; [Chen, Yufeng; Miao, Jiafeng] Zhejiang Gongshang Univ, Sch Econ, Ctr Studies Modern Business, Hangzhou 310018, Peoples R China; [Chen, Yufeng] Zhejiang Gongshang Univ, Tailong Finance Sch, Hangzhou 310018, Peoples R China; [Chen, Yufeng] Capital Univ Econ & Business, Coll Business Adm, Beijing 100070, Peoples R China", "Affiliations": "Zhejiang Gongshang University; Zhejiang Gongshang University; Capital University of Economics & Business", "Reprint Addresses": "Chen, YF (corresponding author), Zhejiang Gongshang Univ, Sch Econ, Ctr Studies Modern Business, Hangzhou 310018, Peoples R China.", "Email Addresses": "eden_soton@163.com; chenyufeng@gmail.com; miaojiafeng1996@gmail.com", "Researcher Ids": "Dongkun, Li/ABB-8707-2021", "ORCIDs": "Li, Dongkun/0000-0002-8725-7858", "Funding Orgs": "National Natural Science Foundation of China [71673250]; Zhejiang Foundation for Distinguished Young Scholars [LR18G030003]; Major Projects of the Key Research Base of Humanities Under the Ministry of Education [14JJD790019]; Zhejiang Philosophy and Social Science Foundation [18NDJC184YB]", "Funding Name Preferred": "National Natural Science Foundation of China(National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC)); Zhejiang Foundation for Distinguished Young Scholars; Major Projects of the Key Research Base of Humanities Under the Ministry of Education; Zhejiang Philosophy and Social Science Foundation", "Funding Text": "Acknowledgments This work was supported by National Natural Science Foundation of China (No.71673250) ; Zhejiang Foundation for Distinguished Young Scholars (LR18G030003) ; Major Projects of the Key Research Base of Humanities Under the Ministry of Education (No.14JJD790019) , Zhejiang Philosophy and Social Science Foundation (No.18NDJC184YB) .

We find that there is a negative relationship between penetration and tariffs. As penetration increases, that causes a negative effect to tariffs overall that tend to drop. Additionally, competition is also a significant constraint, with the strongest effect in the TR100 case. The highly competitive countries, with less concentrated competition converge to lower tariffs during the study's time period. GDP per capita adds a positive effect to both TR30 and TR100 cases, where the developed EU countries' users tend to express overall a willingness to pay more for the same speed and service. Most importantly, these countries should achieve faster their goals, since the subscribers' willingness to pay for high-speed service combined with competitive markets at the right service offerings in place, will foster the 2020 national broadband plan regarding ultrafast connectivity.

For film, a window of opportunity has been created by Netflix for small and independent filmmakers wishing to bypass the long-standing monopoly in the Thai film industry.

They have been applauded as a significant technological achievement, but also criticised as a dumb idea. Their application is rapidly expanding in the financial sector, public sector, supply chain management, and the automobile, real estate, insurance, and health care industries. With the growing use of smart contracts and an increasing variety of smart contracts applications, the debate over the legal implications of this phenomenon has intensified and many legal issues related to smart contracts are being examined. Legal scholars have highlighted potential legal pitfalls, controversies and incompatibilities with existing legal frameworks. Blockchain technology and smart contracts have also been fuelling an interest of legislators, who have begun to recognise regulatory uncertainties and are making the first attempts to introduce legislative solutions to address them. This paper aims to highlight the fervour of the scholarly debate surrounding smart contracts and contrast it with a rather modest response from the legislators thus far. The paper reiterates that smart contracts represent the future. Even though they challenge practitioners, scholars, and legislators, current legislative initiatives indicate that under most legal systems there are no major obstacles for smart contracts and to accommodate smart contracts within the existing legal frameworks we should expect legal evolution rather than revolution.y", "Addresses": "[Ferreira, Agata] Warsaw Univ Technol, Dept Adm Law & Publ Policy Sci, Pl Politech 1, PL-00661 Warsaw, Poland", "Affiliations": "Warsaw University of Technology", "Reprint Addresses": "Ferreira, A (corresponding author), Warsaw Univ Technol, Dept Adm Law & Publ Policy Sci, Pl Politech 1, PL-00661 Warsaw, Poland.", "Email Addresses": "aferreira@ans.pw.edu.pl", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "Ferreira, Agata/0000-0003-0901-863X", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 77.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 15.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 17.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 2.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 41.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

The analysis revealed that most participants considered favorably the 2017 Wireless Resiliency Cooperative Framework but did not look favorably upon various state-level emergency communications policies. The policy analysis points to ineffective state emergency communications policies due to the impact of external factors and the lack of coordination of the state government electrical power provider and private telecommunications companies.

In this context, the purpose of our article is to investigate how the growing effort to harness mobile money designed for unbanked individuals may help to overcome barriers to access formal financial services. Using a unique dataset obtained from an individual-level survey conducted in Burkina Faso, we explore the interplay between mobile money innovation and pre-existing formal and informal financial instruments. Our main findings show that, overall there are no differences in the inclination of mobile money users and non-users to make deposits in formal or informal deposit instruments. However, a closer investigation reveals suggestive evidence that it may increase the probability of participants in informal mechanisms to make deposits in formal financial instruments, especially using a bank account. Moreover, considering disadvantaged groups, we find for women, irregular income and less educated individuals that mobile money may increase their probability to make deposits in a bank and/or credit union accounts. Our results are robust to using instrumental variables and propensity score matching techniques that mitigate the endogeneity problem. They also pass a number of robustness checks as well as considering an alternative dataset. Given the low access to formal financial services in developing countries, our findings taken together indicate how the increasing adoption of mobile money may act as a stepping-stone towards financial inclusion.", "Addresses": "[Ky, Serge Stephane] Univ Ouahigouya, Lab Anal & Polit Econ, 12 BP 417, Ouagadougou 12, Burkina Faso; [Ky, Serge Stephane; Rugemintwari, Clovis; Sauviat, Alain] Univ Limoges, Lab Anal & Prospect Econ, 5 Rue Felix Eboue, F-87031 Limoges, France", "Affiliations": "Universite de Limoges", "Reprint Addresses": "Ky, SS (corresponding author), Univ Ouahigouya, Lab Anal & Polit Econ, 12 BP 417, Ouagadougou 12, Burkina Faso.", "Email Addresses": "kysserge@gmail.com; clovis.rugemintwari@unilim.fr; alain.sauviat@unilim.fr", "Researcher Ids": "Ky, Serge/GPX-1578-2022", "ORCIDs": "Ky, Serge/0000-0002-0288-1759", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 91.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 8.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 8.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 0.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 15.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

Bringing the more than 3.5 billion individuals still unconnected online is the primary goal for multiple international organizations, including the ITU and the UN Broadband Commission. Two important barriers that restrict connectivity are the lack of infrastructure and affordability. To address these barriers, several novel concepts that involve spaceborne and airborne platforms have been proposed to provide connectivity at a lower cost (improve affordability) to a wider reach of people (extend infrastructure). We develop a techno-economic methodology to assess the potential impact of space and aerial concepts in expanding connectivity to uncovered and under-served regions. In particular, constellations of geostationary orbit (GEO) satellites, large constellations of medium Earth orbit (MEO) and low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites, and high- and low-altitude aerial platforms are studied. Results show that under the current scenario, the impact of space and aerial systems in terms of expanding connectivity would be rather modest; the current cost of satellite technology (similar to$200 per Mbps/month) are affordable for less than 1% of the uncovered and under-served population in the countries of interest. In a future scenario in 8-10 years, space systems have the highest potential to bring uncovered and under-served populations online, being a viable technology for 24% of the population in these countries.", "Addresses": "[Portillo, Inigo del; Eiskowitz, Skylar; Crawley, Edward F.; Cameron, Bruce G.] MIT, Dept Aeronaut & Astronaut, 77 Massachusetts Ave, Cambridge, MA 02139 USA", "Affiliations": "Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)", "Reprint Addresses": "del Portillo, I (corresponding author), MIT, Dept Aeronaut & Astronaut, 77 Massachusetts Ave, Cambridge, MA 02139 USA.", "Email Addresses": "portillo@alum.mit.edu; eiskowit@mit.edu; crawley@mit.ed; bcameron@mit.edu", "Researcher Ids": "del Portillo, Inigo/U-8258-2019; Cameron, Bruce G/E-2826-2012", "ORCIDs": "", "Funding Orgs": "Fundacion Obra Social LaCaixa", "Funding Name Preferred": "Fundacion Obra Social LaCaixa(La Caixa Foundation)", "Funding Text": "The authors would like to thank Facebook and the Fundacion Obra Social LaCaixa for partially funding this project.

The main reason for comparing the most and the least developed countries to measure the effects of digitalization is to have an insight of whether such effects depend on the levels of development of the country. New technologies in Sub Saharan Africa are assumed to have played significant roles in economic activity, including accessibility of communications, which was impeded by poor infrastructure, accommodation of the poor majority who were initially financially excluded from mobile banking and participation of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in e-commerce. On the other hand, due to the effects of digitalization, least developed countries in SSA have been facing a premature deindustrialization. This study employs a panel dataset consisting of 11 years from 2006 to 2016 for 41 SSA and 33 OECD economies and we use the generalized linear methods of moments (GMM) estimators. The results show that digitalization has a positive contribution to economic growth in both groups of countries. The effect of broadband Internet is minimal for SSA compared to OECD countries, whereas the impact of mobile telecommunications is higher in SSA compared to the OECD counterpart. These results are particularly interesting as less advanced technologies create more opportunities in the least developed countries since there is more space for improvement. With respect to policy implications, this study recommends that SSA governments should invest more in ICT along with other infrastructures, so as to benefit from digitalization and to realize significant economic growth.", "Addresses": "[Myovella, Godwin; Karacuka, Mehmet] Ege Univ, Dept Econ, Izmir, Turkey; [Haucap, Justus] Heinrich Heine Univ, Dusseldorf, Germany", "Affiliations": "Ege University; Heinrich Heine University Dusseldorf", "Reprint Addresses": "Karacuka, M (corresponding author), Ege Univ, Dept Econ, Izmir, Turkey.", "Email Addresses": "myovellagd@gmail.com; mehmet.karacuka@ege.edu.tr; justus.haucap@dice.uni-duesseldorf.de", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 59.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 191.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 198.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 24.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 143.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

Although a pocket of its population is still bereft of the benefits of digitalization, India currently has the second highest number of internet subscribers in the world despite the nation's late adoption of digital technology. An accurate assessment of the current state of digitalization in the country is required for devising effective initiatives towards building a Digital India and bridging the nation's internal digital divide. Considering 17 major Indian states and 21 variables for 10 years, we constructed a composite index of digitalization with the help of Principal Component Method (PCM). This paper identifies factors responsible for the digitalization divide across states.

E-government reforms helped Korea cut domestic corruption, and research has established a clear causal relationship between ICT, E-government, and lower corruption. GMM dynamic panel data analysis indicates, however, that Korean ICT aid has in fact exacerbated corruption in recipient nations. ICT ODA from Canada and the U.K., the second and third largest national donors, however, successfully reduced recipient corruption levels. Why? The characteristics of recipients targeted by each respective donor and key differences in national ODA program goals and management systems explain the results. Tobit regressions reveal that economic and security motives led Korea to favor recipients that were poorer and more authoritarian with inferior governance institutions, traits which fixed and random effect regressions show lower E-governments effectiveness against corruption. Canada and the U.K. primarily succeeded by designating good governance as a core ODA goal and by pioneering Results Based Management systems to realize program objectives. They established clear goals, linked them to quantifiable indicators, independently evaluated the results and transparently released that information to the public. Good governance was not at the center of the Korean aid program which failed to establish clear targets, credibly measure results or release information, providing fertile ground for graft, like the Choi Soon-shil scandal, to infect the program. To improve ICT ODA effectiveness against corruption, therefore, Korea must elevate good governance as a core aid objective, accelerate introduction of RBM reforms to increase effectiveness, and direct more aid to recipients with greater civil liberties in which leaders are motivated to effectively employ ICT ODA against corruption.", "Addresses": "[Schopf, James Christopher] Keimyung Univ, Dept Polit Sci, Daegu, South Korea", "Affiliations": "Keimyung University", "Reprint Addresses": "Schopf, JC (corresponding author), Keimyung Univ, Dept Polit Sci, Daegu, South Korea.", "Email Addresses": "jcschopf@hotmail.com", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "Schopf, James Christopher/0000-0003-2273-6417", "Funding Orgs": "Bisa Research Grant of Keimyung University in 2018", "Funding Name Preferred": "Bisa Research Grant of Keimyung University in 2018", "Funding Text": "This research was supported by the Bisa Research Grant of Keimyung University in 2018.", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 46.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 6.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 6.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 0.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 13.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

The network externality and spillover effect of broadband access technology are captured by introducing broadband penetration rate as a shift factor in industry level production function. Empirical results show that the increased use of modern communications infrastructure increases the productivity of all industries with wide variations across industries.

In light of this, federal policy efforts have switched from focusing mainly on the provision of infrastructure to more explicit adoption-oriented efforts. One of those efforts was the Federal Communications Commission's (FCC's) Low-income Broadband Lifeline Pilot Projects, which ran from 2013 to 2014. The program worked with 14 private telecommunications firms to subsidize household broadband adoption for low-income households by providing discounted monthly and equipment costs. Low-income households are an important component of the broadband adoption puzzle: between 2003 and 2013, the adoption gap between low-income and high-income households actually increased by 5% points. This paper focuses on two specific FCC Broadband Lifeline Pilot projects that allowed consumers to make choices among different options, such as data allowance, speed, and wireless vs. wired connections.

Accordingly, most country-comparative studies have identified a democracy advantage in Internet diffusion. This paper revisits these technology-centric assumptions by conceptualizing the adoption of the Internet as a dynamic phenomenon with multiple phases that unfold differently depending on the political system. It is argued theoretically, that initially, the Internet diffuses faster in democracies because of inherent innovation advantages. However, authoritarian regimes adopt the Internet at comparable rates when the economic benefits of the technology outweigh the democratization risks. Yearly cross-sectional regressions for the years 1996-2013 show that the relationship between regime type and Internet diffusion varies temporally as authoritarian regimes have caught up considerably. Since 2013, there are no significant differences between democracies and authoritarian regimes anymore and monarchies even outperform democracies.", "Addresses": "[Stier, Sebastian] GESIS Leibniz Inst Social Sci, Dept Computat Social Sci, Unter Sachsenhausen 6-8, D-50667 Cologne, Germany", "Affiliations": "Leibniz Institut fur Sozialwissenschaften (GESIS)", "Reprint Addresses": "Stier, S (corresponding author), GESIS Leibniz Inst Social Sci, Dept Computat Social Sci, Unter Sachsenhausen 6-8, D-50667 Cologne, Germany.", "Email Addresses": "sebastian.stier@gesis.org", "Researcher Ids": "Stier, Sebastian/AAH-4394-2019", "ORCIDs": "Stier, Sebastian/0000-0002-1217-5778", "Funding Orgs": "Landesgraduiertenforderung (LGFG) Baden-Wurttemberg", "Funding Name Preferred": "Landesgraduiertenforderung (LGFG) Baden-Wurttemberg", "Funding Text": "This research has been funded by the Landesgraduiertenforderung (LGFG) Baden-Wurttemberg.", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 40.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 20.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 20.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 0.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 18.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

An IVI system provides embedded infotainment services that include not only navigation, but also access to a wider variety of content. In order to lead in the vehicle-IT convergence market, players need to be successful in offering IVI services. Although the vehicle-IT convergence market is growing rapidly, the availability and readiness of IVI systems in the Korean market seem to be different from that in other markets, such as North America and Western Europe. For that reason, this paper refers to the innovation resistance model in order to investigate the factors that impact the resistance to IVI systems in the Korean market. The empirical analysis was conducted in Korea and the results show that the technographics, subjective norm, and prior similar experience are direct and powerful antecedents for resistance. Contrary to expectations, prior similar experience triggered negative perception toward IVI systems. The results give implications not only for car makers and network operators, but also for policy makers. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd.

The literature, however, too often ignores one factor in discussions of ICTs' importance and employment: electricity. Overlooking the centrality of electricity to any ICT for development (ICT4D) initiative has enormous consequences; countless initiatives have failed to consider the (in)ability to power the technology that is central to such development efforts. The present article seeks to address this gap by emphasizing the primacy of electricity in ICT4D initiatives. Utilizing a unique dataset that avoids issues associated with unreliably measured and inequitably distributed grid power, we examine the drivers of Internet adoption in low-income countries. We find robust evidence that increasing the distribution of electricity within under-served countries and thereby making electricity available to a larger proportion of the population significantly increases the number of Internet users. Arguably, improvements in infrastructure may bring about significant changes in Internet use, even in places where advancements in education and political representation remain elusive.

In this study, we focus on the interaction between the government and the industry to trace industry performance and growth, and investigate the factors contributing to the rapid industry growth by drawing on the actor-network theory (ANT). The findings from the ANT interpretation suggest that China's mobile manufacturing industry has been driven by the rise of neo-techno nationalism. China's overall strategy can be characterized in terms of neo-techno nationalism, in which technological development that supports national economic and security interests is pursued by leveraging the opportunities presented through globalization to gain national advantages. The promise of and limitations to applying the ANT to reach a deeper understanding of the telecom strategy of China are discussed. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd.

This article analyzes two potential competition problems in online social networks from a legal perspective. Attention is paid to the extent to which switching costs and network effects give rise to data portability and social network interoperability issues. It is discussed whether competition enforcement or newly devised regulation may serve to resolve these potential competition issues. A comparison is made with the telecommunication sector where similar concerns were addressed by way of regulation imposing obligations of number portability and network interoperability on all market players. Because of this similarity, it is worth considering if any lessons can be drawn from the regulatory approach applied in telecommunications for online social networking. The fact that the portability and interoperability issues in social networks relate to personal data and not 'merely' to technology like in the telecommunication sector, leads to additional considerations in the data protection regime. As a result, data protection concerns also have to be taken into account when devising remedies for the online social network industry. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd.

Subscribers facing three-part tariffs have lower average usage than subscribers on unlimited plans, and differences among heavy users explain nearly all the overall difference. Hence, the three-part tariff saves network costs and narrows the gap, between light and heavy users, in price per Gigabyte used. However, subscribers facing three-part tariffs cut usage similarly during peak and off-peak hours. Since off-peak usage adds no network costs, these off-peak usage reductions lower welfare. Differentially pricing peak usage could further enhance efficiency. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd.

The paper particularly focuses on two issues. Firstly, it addresses the relationship between the mobile operator choice and the subscriber bases and average prices of the operators (size effects and price mediated effects, respectively). Then, it identifies the effect of the other households' choices on the operator choice of the respondents (social network effects). The results are in line with the theory that the prices and the subscriber base-and to a greater extent, the household effects are important factors taken into account during the subscription decisions. The results also indicate that, compared with the period in which prices were loosely regulated, the estimated effects of prices and installed bases for the whole observed period are almost halved, while the effect of household network roughly keeps its level. These results make the focusing on narrower sub-networks i.e. calling clubs or social networks, an appealing strategy for the operators with relatively smaller networks. The paper suggests that the regulatory authorities should consider the possible sources of network effects in their market power analysis and future regulations. Meanwhile, the policy makers should be careful regarding the network quality regulations since the competition in Turkish mobile market seems to take the form of an intensified quality competition.

Data were obtained from a national survey in 2010 by the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) of Thailand. The bivariate probit model was employed to examine empirically whether accessibility to fixed telephony infrastructure, socio-economic variables and the area of residence have a systematic link to fixed broadband access in the first stage, and then, specific usage, provided access exists, is estimated. Results of this study show that the variables, together with their potential impact, are as follows: fixed infrastructure, income, gender, level of education, age of consumer and residential area. The impact of these factors varies from service to service (i.e. video download, social network, searching and e-mail). The implications for the NBTC are to encourage competition through the infrastructure and to permit more competition in infrastructure development.

At the same time, the government could also implement policies to encourage more access and usage, for example income subsidization and training program. (c) 2013 Elsevier Ltd.

For estimation, 3G MVNOs are classified into different types, and the overall cost of WCDMA facilities are separated into voice and data components based on their subscriber rates, actual traffic rates, as well as efficiency consideration of traffic rates. The study then calculates cost-based wholesale prices of voice and data services for each of the 3G MVNO types. The result of this study shows that a cost-plus pricing scheme can help achieve the policy goals of the regulator, namely, lowering telecommunications tariffs and facilitating the introduction of new convergent-type services, far more effectively than the current retail-minus pricing scheme. The findings of this study may assist firms in developing business models based on 3G networks and telecom regulators in designing policies related to interconnection, mVoIP, prepaid calls, wholesale services, and network neutrality.

The 3G strategic network mainly consists of mobile operators, content/application providers, service providers, handset manufacturers, mobile phone dealers, network equipment manufacturers, chipmakers, the government, and customers. Building from the strategic network concept, this paper identifies some of the features of China's 3G market. More new inter-firm ties have been established in the 3G era, while some old ties have been reshaped. Some firms have multiple positions or roles in one strategic network, which results in competition between former partners in the 3G market. Many firms choose to participate in more than one strategic network to exploit scope economies and mitigate the risks of being stranded on a sinking ship. China's government not only determines the initial status of the strategic networks, but also makes policies that affect the evolution of the 3G strategic networks. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

In this approach, regulators partition spectrum rights across the dimensions of space, time, frequency, and direction of propagation. They devolve each partition, called a licensed electrospace region (LER), to licensees who may buy, sell, aggregate, and subdivide their LERs at will. All signals outside an LER must have a power level of less than a regulated limit with de minimis exceptions. In addition, even within an LER, transmitter power or field strength must fall below a separate regulator-set level for the band. Licensees may deploy any devices and provide any services that do not violate these rules. In this framework, regulators establish a few core parameters for each band, manage a rights database, and enforce compliance with signal strength rules. This approach includes no protection of, or constraints on, receivers. Rather, the simple signal strength limits allow licensees to optimize their transmitter and receiver characteristics based on engineering and economic factors. Negotiated LER boundaries between adjacent LER owners can further balance the costs and benefits of interference protection to each. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

Where competitive markets occur, there is also an incumbent operator possessing substantial first mover advantages. This paper explores these advantages, asking whether the incumbent has remained the largest operator as the market has developed. This question is investigated using data from 49 European countries. The analysis finds that in most countries the incumbent continues to be the largest operator measured by market share. In some countries, later entrants into the market have struggled to gain market share, contributing to the highly concentrated nature of many mobile markets. The extent to which the geographical footprint of an operator influences its market share is also examined. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd.

Different business cases for 3G and WiFi operators are developed and it is indicated how to model the specificities for commercial versus public players. Furthermore, a game theoretic approach is used to investigate the investment options of the municipal player. It is shown that a partnership between a commercial and public player is the most likely investment strategy. However, bringing more players into the competitive environment reduces the intention of the commercial partner to engage in the public-private partnership (PPP). (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd.

The objective of the present study is to provide estimates for the 2020 use stage electricity consumption and ICT sector's total lifecycle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions divided in three main parts: user devices including internet-of-things, networks and data centers. The study builds on a high number of data sources including measured and reported data from 150 companies that is estimated to cover about 80% of network subscriptions, about 55% of data center electricity, and about 35% of upstream GHG emissions. To understand the development, the results are put into the perspective of earlier studies. In conclusion, the ICT sector used about 4% of the global electricity in the use stage and represented about 1.4% of the global GHG emissions in 2020. The use stage electricity consumption and the total GHG emissions have increased since 2015, but the impact per subscription has decreased. The user devices accounted for over half of all GHG emissions, with equal parts relating to use stage and other lifecycle stages. For networks and data centers, the use stage GHG emissions are dominating. The electricity consumption and GHG emissions are also estimated for the closely related areas Entertainment and Media (including e. g., TVs), paper media, and cryptocurrencies.", "Addresses": "[Malmodin, Jens; Lovehagen, Nina] Ericsson AB, S-16483 Stockholm, Sweden; [Bergmark, Pernilla] Ericsson AB, Stockholm, Sweden; [Lunden, Dag] Telia Co AB, S-16994 Solna, Sweden", "Affiliations": "Ericsson; Ericsson", "Reprint Addresses": "Malmodin, J; Lövehagen, N (corresponding author), Ericsson AB, S-16483 Stockholm, Sweden.", "Email Addresses": "jens.malmodin@ericsson.com; nina.lovehagen@ericsson.com; bergmarkpernilla@gmail.com; dag.lunden@teliacompany.com", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 50.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 0.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 0.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 0.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 0.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "London", "Publisher Address": "125 London Wall, London, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

Narrative analysis is used to map how 30 expert activists from around the world, whose engagement is bound neither to state nor corporate interests, talk about how AI can be understood as a boon or a bane to inequality, both social and communicative. While common themes are in evidence (such as the need to safeguard people's right to own their own data), some noteworthy dissonances are also discernible (such as whether such people should be envisaged as individuals or collectivities). The narratives are critical in that they resist the impetus of rapid, and in some cases unfettered, technological advancement while at the same time pushing back against the apocalyptic AI narratives familiar from popular culture.

This situation is particularly concentrated in small-population, rural Indigenous communities located in the Northern territories. Over the last several decades, many public policy initiatives have attempted to develop telecommunications services, including high-speed broadband, in these underserved areas. However, Northern input into these initiatives and their outcomes has been limited - despite increasing evidence of the benefits of place-based planning, monitoring and evaluation processes. In this context we examine a recent public consultation about telecommunication services in these regions, focusing on expectations submitted by individual Northerners and by intermediary organizations representing their interests. Our analysis reveals distinct but complementary functions expressed by these different kinds of intervenors, which we suggest policymakers could take into consideration when planning consultations involving rural and remote regions.", "Addresses": "[McMahon, Rob; Akcayir, Murat] Univ Alberta, Polit Sci Dept, Media & Technol Studies, Edmonton, AB, Canada; [McMahon, Rob] Univ Alberta, Fac Arts, Dept Polit Sci, Media & Technol Studies, Edmonton, AB, Canada", "Affiliations": "University of Alberta; University of Alberta", "Reprint Addresses": "McMahon, R (corresponding author), Univ Alberta, Polit Sci Dept, Media & Technol Studies, Edmonton, AB, Canada.;McMahon, R (corresponding author), Univ Alberta, Fac Arts, Dept Polit Sci, Media & Technol Studies, Edmonton, AB, Canada.", "Email Addresses": "rob.mcmahon@ualberta.ca", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "McMahon, Rob/0000-0002-2555-8735", "Funding Orgs": "DigitalNWT project; Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada [511811]", "Funding Name Preferred": "DigitalNWT project; Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada", "Funding Text": "This work was partly supported through the DigitalNWT project, which received funding through a Digital Literacy Exchange Program grant from Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada [grant number: 511811] .

Paid peering is a relationship where two networks exchange traffic with payment, which provides direct access to each other's customers without having to pay a third party to carry that traffic for them. The issue will arise again when the United States Federal Communications Commission (FCC) considers a new net neutrality order. We first consider the effect of paid peering on broadband prices. We adopt a two-sided market model in which an ISP maximizes profit by setting broadband prices and a paid peering price. We analytically derive the profit-maximizing prices, and show that they satisfy a generalization of the well-known Lerner rule. Our result shows that paid peering fees reduce the premium plan price, increase the video streaming price and the total price for premium tier customers who subscribe to video streaming services; however, the ISP passes on to its customers only a portion of the revenue from paid peering. ISP profit increases but video streaming profit decreases as an ISP moves from settlement-free peering to paid peering price. We next consider the effect of paid peering on consumer surplus. We find that consumer surplus is a uni-modal function of the paid peering fee. The paid peering fee that maximizes consumer surplus depends on elasticities of demand for broadband and for video streaming. However, consumer surplus is maximized when paid peering fees are significantly lower than those that maximize ISP profit. However, it does not follow that settlement-free peering is always the policy that maximizes consumer surplus. The peering price depends critically on the incremental ISP cost per video streaming subscriber; at different costs, it can be negative, zero, or positive.", "Addresses": "[Nikkhah, Ali; Jordan, Scott] Univ Calif Irvine, Irvine, CA 92697 USA", "Affiliations": "University of California System; University of California Irvine", "Reprint Addresses": "Jordan, S (corresponding author), Univ Calif Irvine, Dept Comp Sci, 3201 Bren Hall, Irvine, CA 92697 USA.", "Email Addresses": "ali.nikkhah@uci.edu; sjordan@uci.edu", "Researcher Ids": "Nikkhah, Ali/GVS-9673-2022", "ORCIDs": "Nikkhah, Ali/0000-0002-6337-358X", "Funding Orgs": "National Science Foundation, United States of America [1812426]; Direct For Computer & Info Scie & Enginr [1812426] Funding Source: National Science Foundation; Division Of Computer and Network Systems [1812426] Funding Source: National Science Foundation", "Funding Name Preferred": "National Science Foundation, United States of America(National Science Foundation (NSF)); Direct For Computer & Info Scie & Enginr(National Science Foundation (NSF)NSF - Directorate for Computer & Information Science & Engineering (CISE)); Division Of Computer and Network Systems(National Science Foundation (NSF)NSF - Directorate for Computer & Information Science & Engineering (CISE))", "Funding Text": "This material is based upon work supported by the National Science Foundation, United States of America under Grant No. 1812426.", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 29.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 1.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 1.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 0.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 1.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

It explores the role of dynamic analytical frames and a reconsideration of the normative principles of information society policies in overcoming these weaknesses. New instruments and policy arrangements that are considered include the establishment of boundary conditions (guardrails) for players, reliance on adaptive forms of policy, and reliance on ethics across all layers of governance. Driven by the global heterogeneity of values and the diversity of historical, economic, political, and cultural conditions, national and global governance arrangements will likely become more multi-centric.

Thus, this study examines the impact of the government's 5G policy announcements on telecommunication operators' firm value in China, where the state exerts a strong influence on industry development. We find that government policy announcement in general affects telecommunication operators' stock returns negatively, and when the government announces policies with a higher level of interference, the decline in firm value is more pronounced. To understand the comprehensive impact of 5G technology on telecommunication operators, we also examine the effect of institution-driven corporate technology R&D and investment activities on firm value. We find that the firms' 5G activities also decrease their firm value, and this effect is more significant than government policy announcements. These results imply that the market has a negative evaluation of the introduction of 5G technology due to its immaturity and uncertainty.

To fill this gap, we utilize municipalities' official reports to offer an empirical evaluation of the financial performance of every municipal fiber project in the U.S. operating in 2010 through 2019. An analysis of the actual performance of the resulting fifteen project panel dataset reveals that none of the projects generated sufficient nominal cash flow in the short run to maintain solvency without infusions of additional cash from outside sources or debt relief. Similarly, 87% have not actually generated sufficient nominal cash flow to put them on track to achieve long-run solvency. In addition, 73% generated negative nominal cash flow over the past three fiscal years, leaving them poorly positioned to make up their deficits and causing them to fall farther into debt. An assessment based on the net present value of these projects' operating cash flow indicates that 53% of projects would not be on track to breakeven even assuming the theoretical best-case performance in terms of capital expenditures and debt service. Close analysis of these projects' performance reveals that revenue generation likely plays a more important role in generating cash flow than efficiency in construction costs or operating efficiency.", "Addresses": "[Yoo, Christopher S.] Univ Penn, Annenberg Sch Commun, Sch Engn & Appl Sci, Philadelphia, PA 19104 USA; [Lambert, Jesse] Goodwin Procter LLP, Boston, MA USA; [Pfenninger, Timothy P.] DLA Piper LLP US, Baltimore, MD USA", "Affiliations": "University of Pennsylvania", "Reprint Addresses": "Yoo, CS (corresponding author), Univ Penn, Annenberg Sch Commun, Sch Engn & Appl Sci, Philadelphia, PA 19104 USA.", "Email Addresses": "csyoo@upenn.edu", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 34.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 2.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 2.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 3.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 9.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

One of the ways for such providers to remain competitive is to use the proper service models of VODs and the download-to-own (DTO) model can be a very attractive service model for IPTV operators. While many previous studies have examined VOD success, there is a lack of research on the factors that influence VOD success for the DTO model. Thus, this study examined the characteristics of movie VODs as the determinants of DTO performance in the Korean VOD market by analyzing 433 movies offered in 2017 and 2018 via SK Broadband VOD platforms, a major IPTV operator in Korea. The results indicate that G-rated movies, sequel movies, movies with fandom, and those with popular original soundtrack (OST) are likely to have higher sales via a DTO model than other movies.

Our results show that age, monthly income, education, occupation, and tendencies toward warm relationships with others, fun and enjoyment in life, self-fulfillment, and a sense of accomplishment are the main variables that directly influence the use of paid OTT services. Furthermore, the influence of demographic attributes and consumption values that affect transactional video-on-demand and subscription video-on-demand use vary across countries.", "Addresses": "[Kwak, Kyu Tae] Soonchunhyang Univ, Dept Global Culture Ind, Asan 31538, South Korea; [Oh, Chae Ju; Lee, Sang Woo] Yonsei Univ, Grad Sch Informat, Seoul 03722, South Korea", "Affiliations": "Soonchunhyang University; Yonsei University", "Reprint Addresses": "Lee, SW (corresponding author), 404 New Millennium Hall,50,Yonsei Ro, Seoul 03722, South Korea.", "Email Addresses": "ktkwak@sch.ac.kr; chaeju@yonsei.ac.kr; leesw726@yonsei.ac.kr", "Researcher Ids": "Kwak, Kyu Tae/B-6121-2019", "ORCIDs": "Kwak, Kyu Tae/0000-0001-6932-3527; Oh, Chae ju/0000-0002-1048-8324", "Funding Orgs": "MSIT (Ministry of Science and ICT), Korea, under the ITRC (Information Technology Research Center) support program [IITP-2020-0-01749]; Soonchunhyang University Research Fund", "Funding Name Preferred": "MSIT (Ministry of Science and ICT), Korea, under the ITRC (Information Technology Research Center) support program(Ministry of Science & ICT (MSIT), Republic of KoreaMinistry of Science, ICT & Future Planning, Republic of Korea); Soonchunhyang University Research Fund", "Funding Text": "This research was supported by the MSIT (Ministry of Science and ICT) , Korea, under the ITRC (Information Technology Research Center) support program (IITP-2020-0-01749) supervised by the IITP (Institute of Information & Communications Technology Planning & Evaluation) , and also this work was supported by the Soonchunhyang University Research Fund.", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 97.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 18.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 18.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 4.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 38.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

The FCC's recent Broadcast Incentive Auction provides a case study to examine tradeoffs between centralized mechanisms and overlay auctions. The FCC experiences with overlays and more interventionist approaches leads to a set of five questions to help decide when to use simple overlays and when to add more rules to facilitate spectrum repurposing. When the FCC can facilitate repurposing through reducing hold up issues and providing alternatives for incumbents that decentralized private parties would find harder to effectuate, it may be appropriate for the FCC to step in.

However, Latin America succeeded in reaching 2.4 percent of e-commerce share of its GDP. E-commerce share in the GDP of the United States reached 10 percent, while China placed itself as a leader by reaching 20 percent level of e commerce as a share of its GDP (UNCTAD, 2018). This evident gap created a massive opportunity for the establishment of e-commerce digital platform such as Jumia Group. A critical motivation for the present study is that digital platforms in Africa are gaining momentum, due to the increase that has been taking place in the apps economy in these countries. Furthermore, there is a knowledge gap, specifically on how African policymakers should govern this new disruptive technology to understand and promote digital platforms in African countries, as it is a new disruptive technology. This paper analyzes digital platforms (DPs) in developing countries by applying the analytical framework introduced by Rossotto et al. (2018). This framework can be summarized by the following pillars: definition, business models, platform enablers, and platform dynamics. The current study applies this framework to Jumia Egypt?s digital platform. Additionally, this study investigates the importance of the changing nature of network effects and other economic idiosyncratic features of DPs. Finally, the paper concludes with practical and holistic policy recommendations to support the growth of DPs in Africa.", "Addresses": "[Badran, Mona Farid] Cairo Univ, Fac Econ & Polit Sci, Giza, Egypt", "Affiliations": "Egyptian Knowledge Bank (EKB); Cairo University", "Reprint Addresses": "Badran, MF (corresponding author), Cairo Univ, Fac Econ & Polit Sci, Giza, Egypt.", "Email Addresses": "mona.Badran@feps.edu.eg", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 33.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 8.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 8.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 4.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 23.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

Despite the potential that markets have to perform this task, it is still difficult to find real-world examples of successful secondary markets for spectrum. In this work, we explore a broader context where markets would be deployed to shed light on the different components that may affect their viability. Transactions that involve electromagnetic spectrum are generally extremely difficult to achieve due to the complexity of spectrum when treated as a tradeable commodity. To ease these difficulties, we start with the proposition the that many applications require wireless connectivity rather than simply spectrum. We proceed to consider a system where transactions for wireless connectivity are handled by a specialized intermediary that we refer to as Virtual Network Builder (VNB). The model we present accounts for technical definitions of spectrum as a commodity as an effort to bring diversity, and hence thickness, to the market. At the same time, we consider a more nuanced definition of market participants (Resource Providers (RPs) and Service Providers (SPs)), which allows us to examine their incentives to transact in the market and the consequences of their strategies. As a result, we are able to evaluate the performance of a market for wireless connectivity from multiple angles including the efficiency in resource assignment, profitability for market participants and overall conditions to market viability.", "Addresses": "[Gomez, Marcela M.] Univ Pittsburgh, Sch Comp & Informat, 135 N Bellefield Ave, Pittsburgh, PA 15260 USA; [Weiss, Martin B.

They are incorporated into both peaceful civilian applications and military weapons systems. Most of the existing codes of conduct and ethical principles on artificial intelligence address the former while largely ignoring the latter.

However, while a freeze in investigations is neither possible nor desirable, neither is the maintenance of the current status quo. Comparison between general-purpose ethical codes and military ones concludes that most ethical principles apply to human use of artificial intelligence systems as long as two characteristics are met: that the way algorithms work is understood and that humans retain enough control.

Strong evidence for both global and local spatial autocorrelation is found for the years 2011-2016. Consistently, a North-South polarization scheme is identified with little statistical significance in the centre of Europe. This contrasts with the high income cluster found in central Europe, while low values for digital indices and income are co-located more consistently in the South, but also in the North-East. Highlights from the specific results include: areas surrounding London as a dynamic high value cluster in E-commerce, Italy to conduct few cross-border purchases, France as a consistent adopter of E-governance, and broadband rates in general to closely reflect online activities.", "Addresses": "[Lutz, Sebastian Uljas] Vienna Univ Econ & Business, Dept Econ, Inst Macroecon, Welthandelspl 1, A-1020 Vienna, Austria", "Affiliations": "Vienna University of Economics & Business", "Reprint Addresses": "Lutz, SU (corresponding author), Vienna Univ Econ & Business, Dept Econ, Inst Macroecon, Welthandelspl 1, A-1020 Vienna, Austria.", "Email Addresses": "Sebastian.Lutz@wu.ac.at", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "", "Funding Orgs": "Netidee foundation", "Funding Name Preferred": "Netidee foundation", "Funding Text": "I would like to thank the Vienna University of Economics and Business.

The dynamic policy license combines the assurances to licensees that come from holding a fixed license while maintaining regulatory flexibility. A dynamic policy license is similar to a traditional spectrum license that specifies a bandwidth, power, center frequency, location, and other parameters. However, one or more of these parameters is subject to change by the regulator over time. The allowed changes are restricted by the license to provide assurances and predictability to the licensee. The opportunities and challenges that this presents to both regulators and licensees is described.

The aim of this paper is to evaluate whether the 2013 reform had an impact on household fixed internet adoption and to what extent Mexican households, classified into ten wealth groups, had adopted intemet. For the assessment, after a revision of supply and demand Reform's measures to reduce the digital divide, data from the 2010 Census and 2015 Intercensal Survey were used to create adoption indexes using Poisson estimations. The results were analyzed by ten wealth groups, constructed on principal components based on household characteristics (type of dwelling, electricity availability, availability of drinking water, sewer system, intemet and ICT devices: computer, telephone, cell phone and intemet). Additionally, the impact of both indexes was validated by a difference in differences method. The results suggest a 66% overall increase in intemet adoption between 2010 and 2015. The decile analysis showed considerable intemet adoption in the low and middle wealth groups (deciles 2-8), while in the highest wealth groups (deciles 9-10) the impact of internet adoption has been relatively moderate. It is worth noting that interne adoption is unequally distributed, as less than 1% of households in deciles 1 to 6 had adopted internet in 2015, while nearly all of the wealthiest ten percent of households have intemet access. Nevertheless the increment in interne adoption was not only the result of the reform but the combination of the broadband penetration trend and the reform together.", "Addresses": "[Ovando, Catalina; Olivera, Emmanuel] UPAEP, Strategy Technol & Soc Res Ctr, Interdisciplinary Ctr Grad Studies & Res, 17 Sur 901, Puebla 72410, Mexico", "Affiliations": "Universidad Popular Autonoma del Estado de Puebla", "Reprint Addresses": "Ovando, C (corresponding author), UPAEP, Strategy Technol & Soc Res Ctr, Interdisciplinary Ctr Grad Studies & Res, 17 Sur 901, Puebla 72410, Mexico.", "Email Addresses": "mariacatalina.ovando@upaep.mx; emmanuel.olivera@upaep.mx", "Researcher Ids": "Ovando, Catalina/C-7929-2018", "ORCIDs": "Ovando, Catalina/0000-0001-5059-2946", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 61.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 5.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 7.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 1.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 10.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

The exponential diffusion of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in Chinese financial contexts have generated new organizational structures and socio-political relations that have the capacity to change China's position in the world economy. Drawing upon the sociological concept of institutionalization, this paper examines how the Chinese state has integrated ICT diffusion in its formal policies and its informal rules in China's financial development since 1991. Further, it addresses the political and socio-economic consequences of these developments. Based on the analyses of government documents and sources, trade journals, and statistic data from business databases, this paper divides the Chinese institutionalization of financial technologies into three stages and identifies the primary actors and paradigms for ICT diffusions in each stage. ICT diffusion has been constitutive but also disruptive to the existing financial policies, instrumental to the commercialization of state-owned banks, and has gradually transformed into a set of formal and informal rules accepted by a network of professionals, corporations, and government agencies. The institutionalization of ICT diffusion has engendered the continuous adjustment of financial policies and propelled innovations in China's financial economy.", "Addresses": "[Wang, Jing] Rutgers State Univ, Sch Commun & Informat, US, 4 Huntington St, New Brunswick, NJ 08901 USA", "Affiliations": "Rutgers University System; Rutgers University New Brunswick", "Reprint Addresses": "Wang, J (corresponding author), Rutgers State Univ, Sch Commun & Informat, US, 4 Huntington St, New Brunswick, NJ 08901 USA.", "Email Addresses": "jw751@rutgers.edu", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 46.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 26.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 27.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 1.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 40.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

This paper uses China's provincial panel data from 2002 to 2013 to investigate the effect of computer penetration on rural residents' income. A public program aiming to connect every village with broadband Internet and other rural facilities provides plausibly exogenous variation in rural residents' availability and adoption of the broadband Internet, which is used to explore the instrument variable for rural computer penetration. The results show that rural computer penetration tends to increase rural residents' income over time, but the average effect remains limited. The dynamic panel threshold effects model, which allows for both the threshold variable and other covariates to be endogenous, is further used to explore the constraints of the income-increase effect of rural computer penetration. It shows that the effect is at least doubled over the average effect estimated from instrument variables method, once the digital divide causes are removed. Our findings have important implications for the government to increase rural residents' income and reduce urban-rural income gap by encouraging rural computer usage and removing the digital divide.", "Addresses": "[Gao, Yanyan] Southeast Univ, Sch Econ & Management, Dongnandaxue Rd 2, Nanjing 211189, Jiangsu, Peoples R China; [Zang, Leizhen] Univ Chinese Acad Sci, Sch Publ Policy & Management, 19 A Yuquan Rd, Beijing 100049, Peoples R China; [Sun, Jun] Huaihai Inst Technol, Sch Business, Cangwu Rd 59, Lianyungang 222005, Jiangsu, Peoples R China", "Affiliations": "Southeast University - China; Chinese Academy of Sciences; University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, CAS; Jiangsu Ocean University", "Reprint Addresses": "Gao, YY (corresponding author), Southeast Univ, Sch Econ & Management, Dongnandaxue Rd 2, Nanjing 211189, Jiangsu, Peoples R China.", "Email Addresses": "yanyan_gao@seu.edu.cn; leizhen@pku.edu.cn; 15861223478@163.com", "Researcher Ids": "Gao, Yanyan/AAE-6607-2022; Zang, Leizhen/G-6850-2013; Gao, Yanyan/AAL-7187-2020", "ORCIDs": "Gao, Yanyan/0000-0003-0326-504X; Zang, Leizhen/0000-0003-3521-8301; Gao, Yanyan/0000-0003-0326-504X", "Funding Orgs": "Basic Research Funds for China's Central Universities [2242017K40168]; Youth Project of MOE Humanity and Social Science Foundation [17YJC790040]; China Natural Science Foundation [71771052]", "Funding Name Preferred": "Basic Research Funds for China's Central Universities; Youth Project of MOE Humanity and Social Science Foundation; China Natural Science Foundation(National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC))", "Funding Text": "The authors thank for the helpful comments from Prof. Bohlin, five anonymous reviewers, Hanghui Zhang at Shanghai University of Finance and Economics, Guy Robinsson at the First IGU-AGLE Commission Conference (2017), discussants at the third Camphor Economics Circle Nanjing Forum (2017), the research assistance from Yuanfen Jin, Xiangyu Chen and Qingrong Zhi, and the fund supports from Basic Research Funds for China's Central Universities (Grant No. 2242017K40168), the Youth Project of MOE Humanity and Social Science Foundation (Grant No. 17YJC790040) and the China Natural Science Foundation (Grant No. 71771052).

However, it is unclear whether these systems have actually led to such a reduction. The present study analyzes quantitatively how people's acceptance and awareness toward rate systems reduce or do not reduce mobile bills, based on the results of a survey conducted here. More specifically, to solve the endogeneity problem of saving behavior's effect on mobile bills, the study adopts the instrumental variables of degree of acceptance and awareness of systems relating to mobile bills. The results show that acceptance and awareness of the system do affect savings behavior and thus mobile bills. If the degree of savings behavior (affected by acceptance and awareness) goes up one step on a seven-point Likert-type scale, there is an average 8.28% savings effect on mobile bills. Thus, this study shows that degrees of acceptance and awareness of the rate system do affect mobile bills.", "Addresses": "[Kim, Junghun; Choi, Hyunhong; Cho, Heecheon; Kim, Junsang] Seoul Natl Univ, Technol Management Econ & Policy Program, 1 Gwanak Ro, Seoul 151742, South Korea; [Koo, Yoonmo] Seoul Natl Univ, Grad Sch Engn Practice, 1 Gwanak Ro, Seoul 151742, South Korea", "Affiliations": "Seoul National University (SNU); Seoul National University (SNU)", "Reprint Addresses": "Koo, Y (corresponding author), Seoul Natl Univ, Grad Sch Engn Practice, 1 Gwanak Ro, Seoul 151742, South Korea.", "Email Addresses": "jkim.snu@gmail.com; hongchoi@snu.ac.kr; hccho69@snu.ac.kr; jskim123@snu.ac.kr; yyounmo@gmail.com", "Researcher Ids": "Choi, Hyunhong/V-7165-2019; Choi, Hyunhong/AAI-9763-2020", "ORCIDs": "Choi, Hyunhong/0000-0003-2896-9051; Kim, Junghun/0000-0002-2366-6142", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 40.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 4.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 4.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 1.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 6.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

Although there is no significant short-run association between ICT and TFP, we find a positive association with a lag of seven to eight years. Thus, R & D affect TFP much faster than ICT-investments. We also divide ICT capital into hardware and software capital. To our knowledge, this distinction has not been made in any previous study analyzing TFP at the industry level. The results show that lagged hardware capital services growth is significantly associated with TFP growth. Hence, investments complementary to hardware are needed to reap the long-run TFP effects from reorganizing production.", "Addresses": "[Edquist, Harald] Ericsson Res, Farogatan 6, S-16480 Stockholm, Sweden; [Henrekson, Magnus] Res Inst Ind Econ, IFN, POB 55665, SE-10215 Stockholm, Sweden", "Affiliations": "Ericsson; Research Institute of Industrial Economics (IFN)", "Reprint Addresses": "Henrekson, M (corresponding author), Res Inst Ind Econ, IFN, POB 55665, SE-10215 Stockholm, Sweden.", "Email Addresses": "harald.edquist@ericsson.com; magnus.henrekson@ifn.se", "Researcher Ids": "Henrekson, Magnus/JXL-1358-2024", "ORCIDs": "Henrekson, Magnus/0000-0002-1640-7126; Edquist, Harald/0000-0001-8659-1494", "Funding Orgs": "Jan Wallander and Tom Hedelius Foundation [P2013-0189:1]", "Funding Name Preferred": "Jan Wallander and Tom Hedelius Foundation", "Funding Text": "This work was supported by the Jan Wallander and Tom Hedelius Foundation, (P2013-0189:1) which is gratefully acknowledged.", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 61.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 58.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 62.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 7.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 76.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

It identifies the opportunities and challenges regarding ICT adoption in three rural communities with different levels of marginalization and connectivity in Mexico. Using before and after studies we attempt to identify and understand mechanisms through which ICT (and broadband, in particular), may have an impact on poverty alleviation. Using a combination of the Capabilities Approach and Livelihoods Perspective, this research shows that mobile broadband access (as opposed to fixed shared access) and effective training through the role of infomediaries enables low-income communities to develop new skills, to engage in new practices and to find useful applications for old and new abilities, needs and interests. A specific finding that has not received attention in the literature is the productive role of immediate family members as infomediaries; the weight of family networks plays a crucial role in teaming about ICTs. These networks fuel a sense of confidence required to handle knowledge and practices that are initially alien in this sector. We found that ICT adoption changes the pattern of information seeking and enhances informational capabilities and existing assets of low-income communities. Through our control case, that did not have any connectivity, we identified the high transaction cost people face as well as the business opportunities the digitally excluded forego.

History, however, shows that the mobile Internet was first successfully commercialised in Japan, in 1999. Some authors such as Richard Feasey in Telecommunications Policy (Issue 6, 2015) argue that operators had been confused and unprepared when the Internet emerged and introduced walled gardens, without Internet access. This comment article reviews in detail how the operators reacted when the fixed, and later the mobile Internet spread: some introduced walled gardens, some opened it for the unofficial content on the Internet. The article concludes that most large European telecom and information technology companies and their investors have a tradition of risk avoidance and pursued high-price strategies that led them to regularly fail against better and cheaper foreign products and services, not only when the wireless Internet was introduced, but also when PCs and the fixed Internet were introduced. Consequences, such as the need to enable future disruptions and boost the skills needed to master them, are presented. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd.

These individuals are able to make voice calls and browse the Internet with the same mobile device. Hence, for mobile network operators (MNOs) the question to what extent mobile Internet (MI) use substitutes or supplements or does not affect established mobile voice (MV) calling gains economic relevance. Unfortunately, the literature on usage interdependencies between these two mobile communication service categories is scarce. Therefore, this study examines the relationship between the monthly number of outgoing MV minutes and monthly MI data traffic in a sample of 11,614 residential postpaid subscribers over 25 months from October 2011 to October 2013. Actual consumption and customer data was extracted from the billing system of the German subsidiary of a multinational MNO. Multi-level analysis of the time-varying and-constant study variables reveals large heterogeneity between sample subjects with regard to their MI-MV associations. At the mean/median monthly level, the demand for conventional MV telephony decreases within the time window under investigation. However, for the majority of customers the relationship between the usage of the two service categories is complementary. Subscribers who are most likely to replace at least some of their MV minutes by MI traffic (1) are heavy MV users in the initial period (October 2011), (2) are heavy SMS users within the time window under study, (3) are male, (4) are older, (5) have a longer tenure with the MNO, (6) have not opted for a MV flat rate, (7) started operating their current handset more recently and (8) are currently not equipped with an Apple iPhone. Implications of the findings for MNO strategies seeking to respond to market changes and for future research are discussed. This study contributes to the literature regarding substitution, reinforcement or neutral effects of MI usage on established mobile communication services. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd.

Since only those jobseekers that have accessed the Internet can perform an online job search, we use bivariate probit selection models to correct for potential selection bias. Our results show that Internet Spanish jobseekers tend to be younger, better educated, more Internet-savvy, and live in urban areas compared to those that only use traditional search channels. However, we find that employment-to-employment and unemployment-to-employment transitions differ by gender, nationality, household income, and time aggregate factors. We find evidence of a digital divide in adoption and usage by age and educational attainment. These findings suggest that policy makers and human resources managers should take into account these disparities in Internet usage to guide their public programs and recruiting strategies.

For reasons of interoperation, financial settlements, etc., this diversity will be held together by intermediaries that are today called cloud providers, and through whom much of media content will flow.

These include Afghanistan, Australia, Brazil, India, Japan, New Zealand, South Korea, Singapore, Sweden, UK and USA and the European Union as a whole. Despite the initiatives of developing countries, the broadband gap in terms of deployment and adoption between them and developed countries is increasing. There is recognition that there are significant challenges in designing the institutional infrastructure required for broadband deployment, which are accentuated in a developing country context due to the weak existing institutional environment. But since the impact of telecom and, broadband in particular, is more significant in developing countries than in developed ones, policy makers in developing countries are increasingly focusing on National Broadband Plans (NBPs). For example, policy makers in India realize that broadband can accelerate the increasing contribution of the service and knowledge sectors to India's economy and also help to alleviate its poor physical service delivery in areas such as health, education, banking, etc. and have adopted a broadband plan. This paper documents the development of the Indian NBP. Based on prior studies, we identify key factors that contribute to success of broadband deployment and adoption and based on these, we assess the Indian NBP. Further, it uses the framework of multiple streams (Kingdon, 1995) to critique the policy formulation and agenda setting aspects of NBP in an emerging economy. We also highlight the key differences in the policy making processes in developed and developing economies. Given the inter-linkages and complexities of implementing a broadband strategy, we identify the role and attributes of a policy entrepreneur that are critical to evolving the policy, in a developing country context and how these differences lead to the primacy of the role of policy entrepreneur. Thus, the contribution of this paper is in assessing the Indian NBP and providing insights in theoretical aspects of policy making in the realm of broadband in emerging economies, an area that has received little attention.

Consequently, mobile handset features constitute an important part of the global communications infrastructure. Modelling the diffusion of mobile handsets as a product category is becoming less relevant as the market is approaching saturation especially in the developed countries. Simultaneously, the diffusion of mobile handset features is increasingly important and of interest to many stakeholders. This article analyzes and compares the diffusion patterns of mobile handset features, using a longitudinal annual dataset of the penetrations of 15 different features in Finland between 2005 and 2010. Two major turning points - the takeoff and the inflection point - as well as the durations of the diffusion stages between these points are determined. The results show large variations between different features, highlighting the significance of the introduction stage in the diffusion process. The results are useful for regulators and companies in understanding the pace of change taking place in the communications infrastructure. (c) 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

Option value multiples are calculated for the investment decision in three main network elements, each representing a different part of the Brazilian fixed telecommunications network, subject to different technological and demand uncertainties.

In a sample of 104 new ventures of the Information and Communications Technology (ICT) industry, the authors have developed a regression analysis allowing them to demonstrate the direct and indirect effects proposed in the hypotheses. The results obtained show that early entry into the market has a positive influence on new venture performance, as the joint moderator effect of marketing capabilities and low cost orientation is greater than the effect of each variable taken on its own. Furthermore, this study explores if the effects of the analysed factors are different between telecommunications and electronic and computer new ventures. This study shows that marketing capabilities and low cost strategy are complements rather than substitutes in moderating the relationship between entry timing and new venture's performance, especially for the telecommunications new ventures.

This study aims to understand the nonlinear impact of ICT on carbon emissions more systematically. To this end, a threshold panel regression model is developed based on panel data of 92 countries. ICT is the explanatory variable, carbon emission is the explained variable, and trade openness and financial development are the threshold variables. The results show that: (i) When taking trade openness as threshold variable, both low- and high-income group have passed the double threshold test, the negative regression coefficient of ICT and carbon emissions firstly decreases, and then turns into positive effect when crossing the second threshold value in lowincome group. While in high-income group, this effect shows a sustained growing positive trend. (ii) Taking financial development as threshold variable, this negative effect firstly turns positive which then increases when passing the second threshold in low-income group. While in high-income group, the positive impact of ICT on CO2 shows a sustained growth which is similar to the situation when trade openness is taken as threshold variable. (iii) Income levels are set as a categorical variable, the impact of ICT on CO2 presents a U shape under the influence of financial development and trade openness. The U-shaped turning point occurs in the lowincome band and when the level of trade development and financial development is low.", "Addresses": "[Wang, Qiang] Xinjiang Univ, Sch Econ & Management, Urumqi 830046, Peoples R China; [Wang, Qiang; Hu, Sailan; Li, Rongrong] China Univ Petr East China, Sch Econ & Management, Qingdao 266580, Peoples R China; [Wang, Qiang; Li, Rongrong] China Univ Petr East China, Sch Econ & Management, Qingdao 266580, Peoples R China", "Affiliations": "Xinjiang University; China University of Petroleum; China University of Petroleum", "Reprint Addresses": "Wang, Q; Li, RR (corresponding author), China Univ Petr East China, Sch Econ & Management, Qingdao 266580, Peoples R China.", "Email Addresses": "wangqiang7@upc.edu.cn; lirr@upc.edu.cn", "Researcher Ids": ", qiang/F-4618-2011", "ORCIDs": ", qiang/0000-0002-8751-8093", "Funding Orgs": "National Natural Science Foundation of China [72104246, 71874203]", "Funding Name Preferred": "National Natural Science Foundation of China(National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC))", "Funding Text": "The authors would like to thank the editor and these anonymous reviewers for their helpful and constructive comments that greatly contributed to improving the final version of the manuscript.

Thus, wireless traffic grows in volume and complexity, making prediction, investment planning, and regulation increasingly difficult. This article characterizes urban wireless traffic evolution, supporting operators to drive mobile network evolution and policymakers to increase national and local competitiveness. We propose a holistic method that widens previous research scope, including new devices and the effect of policy from multiple government levels. We provide an analytical formulation that combines existing complementary methods on traffic evolution research and diverse data sources. Results for a centric area of Helsinki during 2020-2030 indicate that daily volumes increase, albeit a surprisingly large part of the traffic continues to be generated by smartphones. Machine traffic gains importance, driven by surveillance video cameras and connected cars. While camera traffic is sensitive to law enforcement policies and data regulation, car traffic is less affected by transport electrification policy. High-priority traffic remains small, even under encouraging autonomous vehicle policies. Based on peak hour results, we suggest that 5G small cells might be needed around 2025, albeit the utilization of novel radio technology and additional mid-band spectrum could delay this need until 2029. We argue that mobile network operators inevitably need to cooperate in constructing a single, shared small cell network to mitigate the high deployment costs of massively deploying small cells. We also provide guidance to local and national policymakers for IoT-enabled competitive gains via the mitigation of five bottlenecks. For example, local monopolies for mmWave connectivity should be facilitated on space-limited urban furniture or risk an eventual capacity crunch, slowing down digitalization.", "Addresses": "[Benseny, Jaume; Lahteenmaki, Jarno; Toyli, Juuso; Hammainen, Heikki] Aalto Univ, Commun & Networking Dept, Konemiehentie 2,POB 15400, Espoo, Finland; [Toyli, Juuso] Univ Turku, Dept Econ, Rehtorinpellonkatu 3, Turku 20500, Finland", "Affiliations": "Aalto University; University of Turku", "Reprint Addresses": "Benseny, J (corresponding author), Aalto Univ, Commun & Networking Dept, Konemiehentie 2,POB 15400, Espoo, Finland.", "Email Addresses": "jaume.benseny@alumni.aalto.fi; jarno.lahteenmaki@aalto.fi; juuso.toyli@utu.fi; heikki.hammainen@aalto.fi", "Researcher Ids": "Töyli, Juuso/B-7305-2009", "ORCIDs": "", "Funding Orgs": "Business Finland", "Funding Name Preferred": "Business Finland", "Funding Text": "This work was done as part of the Neutral Host Pilot project within the LuxTurrim5G ecosystem funded by the participating companies and Business Finland (https:// www.luxturrim5g.com /) .

To respond to this question, we develop a simple theoretical model based on a CES utility function and estimate simultaneously, using non-linear least squares, demand functions for both audiovisual services. Our results, based on original database covering 17 Latin American countries from 2011 to 2020, suggest no sub-stitution of Pay TV for OTT. However, during the more recent period (2015-2020), we find evi-dence of gross substitution (i.e., similar enough, although not completely equivalent for consumers) between these audiovisual services. This confirms, although only partially, the existence of the so-called cord-cutting and cord-saving phenomena, due to the expansion of fast internet and the richer OTT offers, and their relatively lower prices. These results suggest regulators should include OTT services in their scope and produce in-depth analysis on the country level to update and optimize regulations, as well as implement regulatory sandboxes to advance towards smart regulation, as shown in the financial industry.", "Addresses": "[Jung, Juan] Univ Pontificia Comillas, ICADE, Fac Ciencias Econ & Empresariales, Madrid, Spain; [Jung, Juan; Melguizo, Angel] Telecom Advisory Serv, New York, NY USA", "Affiliations": "Comillas Pontifical University", "Reprint Addresses": "Jung, J (corresponding author), Univ Pontificia Comillas, ICADE, Fac Ciencias Econ & Empresariales, Madrid, Spain.", "Email Addresses": "jfjung@icade.comillas.edu", "Researcher Ids": "Jung, Juan/AAA-6746-2020", "ORCIDs": "Jung, Juan/0000-0002-7996-0965", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 34.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 1.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 1.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 3.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 7.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

We compute the Average Effective Tax Rate (AETR) for this firm considering general and special taxes and fees levied only on the telecommunication sector. We develop a web application (https://data.cerdi.uca.fr/telecom/), allowing the reader to replicate our analysis or modify TELCO and tax parameters. The AETR varies significantly across countries, ranging from 33 percent in Ethiopia to 118 pero nt in Niger. Special taxes and fees represent a large share of the AETR, illustrating some taxation by regulation and a potential tax competition (a race to the top) between the MoF and the RA. We compare TELCO's AETR with that of a representative gold mining plant and a standard company with a similar gross return. The tax burden of the telecommunications sector is higher than that of the mining sector in 15 of the 19 countries for which we have data on the gold mining sector.", "Addresses": "[Rota-Graziosi, Gregoire; Sawadogo, Faycal] Univ Clermont Auvergne, CERDI, CNRS, F-63000 Clermont Ferrand, France; [Rota-Graziosi, Gregoire; Sawadogo, Faycal] Fdn Etud & Rech Sur Dev Int FERDI, F-63000 Clermont Ferrand, France", "Affiliations": "Universite Clermont Auvergne (UCA); Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS)", "Reprint Addresses": "Sawadogo, F (corresponding author), Univ Clermont Auvergne, CERDI, CNRS, F-63000 Clermont Ferrand, France.", "Email Addresses": "faycal.sawadogo@uca.fr", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "", "Funding Orgs": "Agence Nationale de la Recherche of the French government through the program Investissements d'avenir [ANR-10-LABX-14-01]; GSMA", "Funding Name Preferred": "Agence Nationale de la Recherche of the French government through the program Investissements d'avenir(Agence Nationale de la Recherche (ANR)); GSMA", "Funding Text": "We are thankful to the editor Erik Bohlin and five anonymous referees for their helpful comments on previous versions of the paper.

Smart network applications and services must integrate physical and virtual components in innovative ways. In addition, general capabilities of 5G must be combined with complementary technologies, such as big data analytics and edge cloud services, to create services for specific use cases. Varying throughput and latency requirements of distinct use cases require differentiated technical solutions. Appropriate frequencies must be aligned efficiently with other features within the footprint of particular, local industrial networks.

From the perspective of development communication and through the case study approach, this paper focuses on the practice of poverty alleviation conducted by Chinese rural left-behind women with the help of Internet technology. Furthermore, the paper summarizes three main forms of women's poverty alleviation, including the model of Internet celebrities using social media to sell local products; the model of the government taking the lead in building an online learning, training and sales platform; and the model combining government guidance, enterprise empowerment and media promotion.

Three ICT and three income inequality indicators were used to examine this linkage. The ICT indicators used include internet penetration, mobile phone penetration and fixed broadband subscription, while the income inequality indicators include the Gini coefficient, the Atkinson index and the Palma ratio. Using the Generalised Method of Moments (GMM) estimation technique, the study found that, on the whole, an increase in ICT development unconditionally leads to an increase in economic growth in the countries under study. The study also found that the threshold level of income inequality, which should not be exceeded in order for the positive impact of ICT on economic growth to be sustained, depends on the ICT proxy used and the income inequality indicator. Specifically, the study found that for ICT to have a sustained positive impact on economic growth, i) the Gini coefficient in the mobile penetration specification should not exceed 0.520; ii) the Gini coefficient and Atkinson index in the internet penetration specification should not exceed 0.531 and 0.560, respectively; and iii) the Gini coefficient, Atkinson index and Palma ratio in the fixed broadband subscriptions should not exceed 0.551, 0.633 and 4.664, respectively.

This paper seeks to examine how discussions at the UN Internet Governance Forum unfold by analyzing transcripts of misinformation sessions from 2016 to 2019, asking (1) What key terms are used most often during these discussions? (2) Have and how have these frequent terms evolved over time? Applying the CRISP-DM approach to text mining, I find that overall prominent terms are internet and people, though the frequent terms vary differently when analyzed by year, showing an evolution of the discussion from 2016- rights and journalists-to 2019- data and content.

This implies that being a large operator itself causes the operator to be a net terminator of traffic and to be a net receiver of call termination payments. For convenience, we will describe this notion as the regulators' proposition. This notion could have been a motivation for regulators: to establish asymmetric mobile call termination rates (MTRs) (higher termination rates for smaller operators); or to reduce symmetrical MTRs. We begin with a simple mathematical description of calling between networks that indicates that size does not affect O/T. We also use a unique panel data set from eight mobile operators in Colombia that includes a measure of operator size, a off-net price variable, and two proxies for the proportion of low-income subscribers (one for originating minutes and one for terminating minutes). We do not find empirical support for the regulators' proposition. Operator size is statistically insignificant (and has the incorrect sign - to support the regulator's proposition in some specifications to). Off-net price and income (rather than network size) variables are significant in explaining O/T. The off-net price variable has the expected negative sign and is significant at the 5% level or better. The income variables have the expected signs and are generally significant at the 5% level.

We find that the promotion of internet and mobile diffusion appear to be a way of reducing income inequality in the short and the long run. Nevertheless, we find an inverted-U shape relationship between the human capital and the institutional quality with the income inequality, but not for the case of income level. These findings are observed in our full sample and also in two sub-samples respectively composed by 46 low and middle income economies (LMEs) and 41 high income economies (HIEs). Beyond the empirical results supporting the Kuznets Curve hypothesis (KC) for the human capital and institutions, the major contributions of this article is to show that income inequality issue is actually not a matter of income only since diverse socio-economic and technological considerations have to be taken into account if policy makers want to reduce optimally these inequalities. This article offers an extended theoretical framework (inspired by the Kuznets curve hypothesis) to study income inequalities in a societal perspective in which telecommunications (internet, mobile and land phones) are integrated as key components. Our results confirm that internet and mobile use should actually be part of an active economic policy aiming at reducing income inequalities.", "Addresses": "[Nguyen Phuc Canh] Univ Econ Ho Chi Minh City, Sch Banking, Ho Chi Minh 700000, Vietnam; [Schinckus, Christophe; Ling, Felicia Chong Hui] Taylors Univ, Subang Jaya, Malaysia; [Su Dinh Thanh] Univ Econ Ho Chi Minh City, Sch Publ Finance, Ho Chi Minh 700000, Vietnam", "Affiliations": "Taylor's University", "Reprint Addresses": "Canh, NP (corresponding author), Univ Econ Ho Chi Minh City, Sch Banking, Ho Chi Minh 700000, Vietnam.", "Email Addresses": "canhnguyen@ueh.edu.vn; christophe.schinckus@taylors.edu.my; dinhthanh@ueh.edu.vn; huiling.chong@taylors.edu.my", "Researcher Ids": "Canh, NGUYEN Phuc/AAG-8627-2019; Su Dinh, Thanh/Q-3915-2019", "ORCIDs": "Canh, NGUYEN Phuc/0000-0001-8467-5010; Su Dinh, Thanh/0000-0003-2344-6315; Schinckus, Christophe/0000-0002-0977-7428", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 80.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 44.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 44.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 7.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 29.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

This connectivity gap is mainly caused by the urban-oriented business models of traditional operators, which are not cost-effective in regions that are characterized by isolation, low population density, and scarcity of resources. This paper analyzes a feasible and sustainable strategy to deploy mobile communications services (voice and data) in isolated communities in developing countries with less than 1000 inhabitants by combining appropriate low-cost technologies and an innovative business model fostered by recent regulation. This innovative model is based on the legal figure of the SRO (Small Rural Operator), which is specifically oriented to reach small communities in isolated rural areas. The results are based on a real deployment in 6 communities of the Peruvian Amazon, which was carried out by a consortium of universities, NGOs (Non-Government Organizations), and cellular operators. This deployment allowed us to obtain practical information on the cost structure of mobile networks in isolated areas, characterize the rural demand and the revenues associated with it, and understand how the business model of traditional operators could be adapted. This information permitted us to propose, implement and validate the SRO approach. The paper shows the results of this research and provides some lessons learned. The main conclusion is that the recent Peruvian regulation opened a niche market for SROs who want to offer services in isolated communities with less than 1000 inhabitants.", "Addresses": "[Prieto-Egido, Ignacio; Simo-Reigadas, Javier; Bravo Fernandez, Alejandro; Martinez-Fernandez, Andres] Rey Juan Carlos Univ, Dept Signal Theory & Commun, Madrid, Spain; [Aragon Valladares, Joel; Cordova Bernuy, Cesar; Auccapuri Quispetupa, Darwin] Pontificia Univ Catolica Peru, Rural Telecommun Res Grp, Lima, Peru; [Munoz, Olga] Univ Politecn Cataluna, Dept Signal Theory & Commun, Barcelona, Spain", "Affiliations": "Universidad Rey Juan Carlos; Pontificia Universidad Catolica del Peru; Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya", "Reprint Addresses": "Prieto-Egido, I (corresponding author), Univ Rey Juan Carlos, ETS Ingn Telecomunicac, Dept 3, Despacho 201,Camino Molino 5, Madrid 28943, Spain.", "Email Addresses": "Ignacio.prieto@urjc.es", "Researcher Ids": "Prieto-Egido, Ignacio/M-9245-2014; Martinez, Andres/KBC-9454-2024; MARTINEZ, ANDRES/F-5576-2017; Simo-Reigadas, Francisco Javier/D-2328-2011", "ORCIDs": "Prieto-Egido, Ignacio/0000-0002-4410-8721; MARTINEZ, ANDRES/0000-0003-0041-1443; Simo-Reigadas, Francisco Javier/0000-0002-4550-0506; Cordova, Cesar/0000-0002-1326-1483; AUCCAPURI, DARWIN/0000-0002-4760-9185", "Funding Orgs": "Development Bank of Latin America (CAF); Spanish Agency for International Development (AECID); European Commission [IST-601102 STP]", "Funding Name Preferred": "Development Bank of Latin America (CAF); Spanish Agency for International Development (AECID)(Spanish Government); European Commission(European Union (EU)European Commission Joint Research Centre)", "Funding Text": "This work has been funded by the Development Bank of Latin America (CAF), the Spanish Agency for International Development (AECID) and by the European Commission FP7 program through project TUCAN3G (IST-601102 STP).

The possibility of performing a regional approach to test the effect of broadband on productivity in an emerging country represents a novelty for the literature. Results suggest that the impact of broadband on productivity is positive although not uniform across regions. On the one hand, it seems to depend on connection quality and network effects. Faster download speed and critical-mass accounting for network externalities in the region enhance the economic impact of broadband. On the other hand, higher productivity gains are estimated for the less developed regions. The fact that the less productive regions in Brazil seem to be benefiting more from broadband may suggest that it can constitute a factor favoring regional convergence in the country.", "Addresses": "[Jung, Juan] Univ Complutense Madrid, Dept Econ Anal, Campus Somosaguas, Pozuelo De Alarcon 28223, Spain; [Jung, Juan] Ctr Estudios Telecomunicac Amer Latina, Rambla Republ Mexico 6125, Montevideo 11400, Uruguay; [Lopez-Bazo, Enrique] Univ Barcelona, AQR IREA, Av Diagonal 690, Barcelona 08034, Spain", "Affiliations": "Complutense University of Madrid; University of Barcelona", "Reprint Addresses": "Jung, J (corresponding author), Univ Complutense Madrid, Dept Econ Anal, Campus Somosaguas, Pozuelo De Alarcon 28223, Spain.", "Email Addresses": "juanjung@ucm.es; elopez@ub.edu", "Researcher Ids": "Jung, Juan/AAA-6746-2020; Lopez-Bazo, Enrique/L-1176-2014", "ORCIDs": "Jung, Juan/0000-0002-7996-0965; Lopez-Bazo, Enrique/0000-0002-4654-8237", "Funding Orgs": "Catedra Telefonica IBEI de Politica y Regulacion de las Telecomunicaciones e Internet America Latina - Europa", "Funding Name Preferred": "Catedra Telefonica IBEI de Politica y Regulacion de las Telecomunicaciones e Internet America Latina - Europa", "Funding Text": "This work was supported by the Catedra Telefonica IBEI de Politica y Regulacion de las Telecomunicaciones e Internet America Latina - Europa.", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 60.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 33.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 34.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 5.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 25.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

The reason for this is that market power in network provision is thought to be extended into the applications market(s). More recently however, proposed mergers have been between telecommunications and media distribution firms, both of whom have some degree of market power, already sell their own services in bundles, and who may or may not have been offering combined bundles already via contractual agreements. Examples include Sky/Vodafone in New Zealand, and Time Warner/AT&T in the United States as well as Vodafone/Unitymedia in Germany and Media Capital/Altice in Portugal. These complex proposed arrangements pose challenges to competition authorities, whose legal and procedural rules and precedents, especially those defining the relevant markets affected by the merger or vertical integration activity, have been developed from the analysis of simpler cases. These precedents may not be sufficient to analyse current cases, characterized by multiple products catering to heterogeneous consumer preferences, and consumers are not constrained to buying only one variant of the products in each of the upstream and downstream markets. We illustrate the challenges by way of a case study of the proposed merger between Sky and Vodafone, declined by the New Zealand Commerce Commission in February 2017. Limitations in existing market definition processes and the evaluation of market power where bundling already occurs risk overlooking complex demand-side interactions that influence the profitability and efficiency of various structural and contractual strategic choices. We propose that classic merger and antitrust analysis based on econometric cost-benefit analysis can be augmented by using simulation and numerical analysis of a range of bundle offers expected to be relevant in decision-making. We develop a simple model and use it to illustrate how it may be used to inform broadband and content mergers, and other complex antitrust cases, such the assessment of the effects of two-sided markets and firm pricing decisions.", "Addresses": "[Howell, Bronwyn E.] Victoria Univ Wellington, Sch Management, Wellington, New Zealand; [Potgieter, Petrus H.] Univ South Africa, Dept Decis Sci, Pretoria, South Africa", "Affiliations": "Victoria University Wellington; University of South Africa", "Reprint Addresses": "Potgieter, PH (corresponding author), Univ South Africa, Dept Decis Sci, Pretoria, South Africa.", "Email Addresses": "php@grensnut.com", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "Howell, Bronwyn/0000-0001-9048-0674; Potgieter, Petrus/0000-0003-1785-761X", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 47.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 1.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 1.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 2.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 18.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

In 2007, the European Commission (EC) introduced a first set of regulatory decisions to cap the maximal roaming fee end users have to pay for voice services. In the years after, additional price caps have been introduced for SMS and data, initially only for end users, in a later stage also for the wholesale tariff. The final step, Roaming Like at Home (RLAH), will start to take effect in June 2017; from then on end users will pay the same price (for voice, SMS and data) when roaming like in their domestic country. The effect of RLAH on the business case of each mobile operator is hard to predict, as the different national markets are extremely heterogeneous and operators face large discrepancies in terms of roaming usage and network costs due to different travelling patterns and various other reasons that cannot be harmonized (geography, economics, working force, usage history, etc.). Furthermore, competition in the telecom market will no longer be a purely national matter, as the decision to abolish roaming tariffs will fully open up cross-border competition. This paper aims at providing insights in the effect of RLAH for both the end user as well as the mobile operators. Following a literature survey approach, including an overview of the roaming regulation process from 2007 up to now, the paper discusses possible effects the RLAH initiative might trigger, going from lower wholesale prices for mobile operators to higher retail prices for end Users. Additionally, as the European Commission strives for a digital single market, this paper presents a number of technical solutions (carrier portability, software-based SIMs, cross-border IMSI, Roaming like a Local, Wi-Fi offloading) that may pose a - partial or full - alternative for roaming and explains how these may impact cross-border competition both positively and negatively. The solutions are assessed against two axes: (1) generating the best possible outcome for the end customers (in all countries) and (2) ensuring the best level playing field for (virtual) mobile operators in Europe, which will of course involve trade-offs on different levels.", "Addresses": "[Spruytte, Jonathan; Van der Wee, Marlies; Verbrugge, Sofie; Colle, Didier] Univ Ghent, Imec, Ghent, Belgium; [de Regt, Mieke] Belgian Inst Postal Serv & Telecommun BIPT, Brussels, Belgium", "Affiliations": "IMEC; Ghent University", "Reprint Addresses": "Spruytte, J (corresponding author), Univ Ghent, Imec, Dept Informat Technol, IDLab, IGent Tower,Technol Pk Zwijnaarde 15, B-9052 Ghent, Belgium.", "Email Addresses": "Jonathan.Spruytte@intec.ugent.be", "Researcher Ids": "Verbrugge, Sofie/GQY-4760-2022", "ORCIDs": "Colle, Didier/0000-0002-1428-0301", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 35.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 11.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 12.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 2.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 21.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

This paper evaluates China's evolving broadband policy by developing a two-dimensional analytical framework, with the different stages of broadband development represented by columns and the four components of broadband ecosystem represented by rows. Generally speaking, China's telecommunications development has been driven by investments from government-allied entities and features a strong industrial policy. However, the Chinese government has chosen a somewhat soft-intervention approach in broadband development and relied on the market itself to grow by creating a competitive market structure. As the market has recently evolved to a certain degree of saturation, there is a seemingly shift of emphasis in China's broadband policy from infrastructure buildup and service provision to application creation and user demand stimulation. However, China's broadband future is uncertain due to unsettled but important institutional and financial issues. Policy changes appear not to keep up with the broadband ecosystem evolution.", "Addresses": "[Liu, Chun] Southwest Jiaotong Univ, Sch Econ & Management, Key Lab Serv Sci & Innovat Sichuan Prov, Leshan Shi, Sichuan Sheng, Peoples R China", "Affiliations": "Southwest Jiaotong University", "Reprint Addresses": "Liu, C (corresponding author), 111,Sect 1 North,2nd Ring Rd, Chengdu 610041, Sichuan, Peoples R China.", "Email Addresses": "psuchunliu@gmail.com", "Researcher Ids": "liu, chun/C-4466-2014", "ORCIDs": "Liu, Chun/0000-0002-1710-9868", "Funding Orgs": "National Social Science Fund of China [14BGL117]; Science and Technology Project of Chengdu [2015-RK00-00030-ZF]; Major Program of the National Natural Science Foundation of China [71490722]", "Funding Name Preferred": "National Social Science Fund of China; Science and Technology Project of Chengdu; Major Program of the National Natural Science Foundation of China(National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC))", "Funding Text": "This research was supported by the National Social Science Fund of China (14BGL117), the Science and Technology Project of Chengdu (2015-RK00-00030-ZF), and the Major Program of the National Natural Science Foundation of China (71490722).

Given that a notable characteristic of Japan's economy is that small as well as older firms play a much greater role than in other economies, particularly the United States, our analysis mainly focuses on firms' size and age. As a first step of our investigation, using firm-level data, we examine whether larger and/or younger firms tend to have a higher ICT intensity. We find that larger firms indeed have a higher ICT intensity. In the case of firm age, there was no simple linear relationship between firm age and ICT intensity. As a next step, we estimate a Cobb-Douglas type production function and test whether the ICT input coefficient differs across different firm-size groups and firm-age groups. We find that larger firms and younger firms tend to have a higher ICT input coefficient. Another factor that may be responsible for differences in ICT intensity by firm size and firm age is constraints on ICT input. To check whether this is the case, we calculate the marginal product of ICT input by firm-size group and firm-age group using the production function estimates. We find that smaller firms and younger firms tend to have a higher marginal product of ICT input. These findings suggest that smaller firms and younger firms face constraints that prevent them from increasing ICT input. We also examine impediments to the full use of ICT by Japanese firms, based on our analysis as well as preceding studies. We find that to enhance ICT input, the government should develop the market for business process outsourcing, which includes outsourcing of ICT processes, and resolve the scarcity of ICT experts, by supporting the training of ICT experts at universities and making it easier for foreign ICT experts to work in Japan.

Overall examinations show that foreign enterprises are less likely to participate in drafting standards than domestic firms, whereas state-owned enterprises do not have significant advantages over domestic firms of other ownerships in formulating standards. Further extending the study to consider industrial heterogeneity, we find that ownership domination of domestic firms over foreign firms is more serious in formulating trade and voluntary high-tech standards, but is not significant in the case of national and compulsory high-tech standards. This implies that China's standards system seems to be more market-oriented and more communicative with foreign players in its essential areas. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd.

In contrast, the rate of policy and regulatory innovation is much slower, partly due to its inherently more deliberative character. We describe this disparity in terms of the natural rates of change in different parts of the ecosystem, and examine why it has impeded attempts to impose effective regulation on the telecommunications industry. We explain why a recent movement to reduce this disparity by increasing the pace of regulation - adaptive regulation - faces five obstacles that may hinder its feasibility in the ICT ecosystem. As a means to achieve more sustainable regulatory frameworks for ICT industries, we introduce an approach based on finding stable points in the system architecture. We explore the origin and role of these stable points in a rapidly evolving system, and argue that they can provide a means to support development of policies, including adaptive regulation approaches, that are more likely to survive the rapid pace of evolution in technology.

The study validates the moderating effect of use contexts on the relationship between value components and perceived value, and this is then utilized to determine perceived value, satisfaction and loyalty for the example of a free communication mobile application. The method of obtaining quantitative data was that of the instrument of a survey questionnaire. The empirical results pull from a sample of users and potential users that had previously visited several free mobile applications and suggest that there is a relationship among value, perceived value, satisfaction, and loyalty with regard to the value perspective. Findings also indicated that use contextual factors have a significant moderating effect on the relationship between value components and perceived value. The results of the study will help marketers to address the key factor which influences consumer free mobile application loyalty and to improve service provider performances to meet consumer needs. The value component perspective is novel and usable in explaining the intention of mobile application consurhers to use, and these findings may be generally applicable to marketers and consumers.

We ground our study in theories of complex systems, strategy dynamics, and industry life cycle. Using a unique longitudinal dataset, we define and develop graph and information theoretic measures of coopetition, convergence, complexity, and velocity of the ICT ecosystem. We frame the transformation path of the ICT ecosystem using these proposed metrics and map the trajectory using complex network visualizations. Our results show that while segments in the ICT ecosystem have converged, the rate of convergence is decreasing. This suggests a growing maturity of the ecosystem and decreasing importance on formal interfirm relationships. At the same time, we find that coopetition is increasing at a decreasing rate. We also find evidence of a declining engagement in interfirm R&D and a growing number of technology transfer relationships, indicating a possible shift from value exploration to value capturing. Our novel data-based metrics provide a foundation for strategic analysis of new business opportunities that is not possible using traditional market analysis tools. We conclude with a discussion of policy implications and future research opportunities. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd.

While dichotomous coding of de jure independence has served as a proxy to measure whether an agency's regulatory governance is transparent, non-arbitrary, and free from political influence, we view measuring multiple components of regulatory governance including incorporating measures of regulatory independence into a composite index as providing a more nuanced understanding of facilitating or inhibiting factors. This paper compares composite telecommunications regulatory independence indices and regulatory governance indices available in the literature in order to construct more parsimonious indices. Using a methodology labeled qualitative meta-synthesis based on synthesizing previously published indices, we construct six different indices using combinations of 32 different variables, and different weights. Data from the OECD database are used to re-create the five original indices from the literature as well as our own six composites. Some of these indices (original and composites) were found to be negatively correlated with independent measures of regulatory governance such as the World Bank's Government Effectiveness Index and the Rule of Law Index; this may be attributable to the fact that countries, and especially those with poor overall governance standards, may need to put in place stronger telecommunications governance institutions in order to attract telecommunications investment to the country. The analysis suggests that a parsimonious index of as few as seven variables is capable of measuring the quality of telecommunications governance in a country, at the same time making the selection of variables and their weighting in the index more systematic than in previously available indices.

A platform neutrality multi-screen TV regulatory scheme is proposed to concentrate on content classification in order to respond to the fast-changing audiovisual industry and competition. Under the scheme, different content and license regulations are applied to four types of TV-like services which are categorized by socio-cultural impact (i.e., broadcasting and mass market vs. VOD and niche market) and content production/aggregation model (i.e., gatekeeping vs. participatory mechanism). In addition, competition, content regulation, and digital copyright are identified as key issues involved in the fast-growing cross-platform audiovisual media industry. Finally, this study analyzes market development, regulatory issues, and national plans for multi-screen TV services in Singapore and examines them under the proposed regulatory scheme. Market and policy recommendations are discussed. (c) 2013 Elsevier Ltd.

Second, one argues that the technological and behavioral changes, underlying the emergence of bundles, call for a shift of emphasis in regulatory policy from ensuring access to the incumbent's fixed telecommunications network services to ensuring access to television content.

There is a role for the regulator to take steps to expand the area of choice within which public and private sector users can operate. This is best done in general by enhancing the flexibility of usage rights, which itself is best achieved by enhancing the freedom to trade them in the dimensions of time, space, level of interference and priority of access, by subdividing, re-aggregating, etc. However, there are considerable transactions cost impediments to trading where unlicensed users are involved. This creates a role for the regulator pro-actively to investigate different allocations, to make provisions for the most promising to occur and to incorporate both in refarming exercises and in primary assignments based on auctions configurations of usage rights, which might favour promising avenues of shared spectrum use.

Within the EU Regulatory Framework for Electronic Communications and Services, the FL-LRAIC standard has worked quite well in expanding markets, although even there price-squeeze problems have appeared. In contracting markets the price-squeeze issue, however, becomes paramount and lower prices both at the wholesale and retail levels would be efficient. Because both expansion and contraction could be relevant in the future, this paper suggests an optional approach based on the wholesale price formula p=min{FL-LRAIC, Retail-Minus} with an optional replacement of per-minute charges by capacity-based access charges (CBC). This will generally protect alternative competitors against price-squeeze while at the same time allowing the fixed-network incumbent full downward price flexibility.

In this study, I use data from different waves of the Indonesian Village Potential Statistics (Potensi Desa) to determine whether mobile phone signal strength affects social development indicators. The results indicate that villages with a strong signal are statistically more likely to possess the proper infrastructure programs. Furthermore, mobile phones increase the availability of village libraries and access to credit for small and medium enterprises (SMEs). Using the plausibly exogenous variation of lightning strike intensity as the instrumental variable, this study suggests that higher mobile phone signal strength is positively associated with the policies implemented by the village head and leads to better social development. As the mechanisms, this study shows that mobile phones increase the likelihood of having collective action and civic engagement, increasing villagers' political participation and use of telecommunication services, thus leading to an increase in village government's accountability.", "Addresses": "[Rezki, Jahen F.] Univ Indonesia, Fac Econ & Business, Dept Econ, Depok, Indonesia; [Rezki, Jahen F.] Inst Econ & Social Res, LPEM FEB UI, Jakarta, Indonesia", "Affiliations": "University of Indonesia", "Reprint Addresses": "Rezki, JF (corresponding author), Univ Indonesia, Fac Econ & Business, Dept Econ, Depok, Indonesia.", "Email Addresses": "jahen.fr@ui.ac.id", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "Rezki, Jahen F./0000-0003-0335-3429", "Funding Orgs": "BPS Statistics Indonesia; Indonesia Endowment Fund for Education (LPDP-RI) [0044455/EK/D/2/lpdp2014]", "Funding Name Preferred": "BPS Statistics Indonesia; Indonesia Endowment Fund for Education (LPDP-RI)", "Funding Text": "I thank the editor Erik Bohlin and anonymous referees for useful comments and suggestions.

This study treats the pilot policy of the Broadband China strategy as a quasi-natural experiment and investigates the ways in which broadband infrastructure development affects export trade in Chinese cities. Empirical results show that export trade in the pilot cities increases by 6.82%-18.8% on average as a result of the Broadband China policy intervention. Our study shows that this policy can effectively promote the use of Internet facilities, and broadband infrastructure can significantly promote the growth of a city's export trade. Broadband infrastructure influences export trade through the direct channel of improving information efficiency, which in turn lowers logistics costs, promotes trade efficiency, and reduces barriers to trade. There is no significant regional heterogeneity and urban characteristics heterogeneity in the export trade effect. Although broadband infrastructure can affect exports through the indirect channels of industrial structure and technological innovation, the direct effect accounts for much of the total effect.", "Addresses": "[Zhou, Fengxiu] Jiangxi Normal Univ, Sch Business, Nanchang 330022, Jiangxi, Peoples R China; [Wen, Huwei; Lee, Chien-Chiang] Nanchang Univ, Sch Econ & Management, Nanchang 330031, Jiangxi, Peoples R China", "Affiliations": "Jiangxi Normal University; Nanchang University", "Reprint Addresses": "Lee, CC (corresponding author), Nanchang Univ, Sch Econ & Management, Nanchang 330031, Jiangxi, Peoples R China.", "Email Addresses": "cclee6101@gmail.com", "Researcher Ids": "Lee, Chien-Chiang/AAZ-9983-2020; Wen, Huwei/ABX-7160-2022", "ORCIDs": "Lee, Chien-Chiang/0000-0003-0037-4347; Wen, Huwei/0000-0002-8422-1593; Fengxiu, Zhou/0000-0002-7790-8856", "Funding Orgs": "Ministry of Education of Humanities and Social Sciences Project of China [19YJC790202]; National Statistical Science Research Project of China [2021LZ38]; Social Science Foundation of Jiangxi Province of China [21JL02]", "Funding Name Preferred": "Ministry of Education of Humanities and Social Sciences Project of China; National Statistical Science Research Project of China; Social Science Foundation of Jiangxi Province of China", "Funding Text": "=Project supported by the Ministry of Education of Humanities and Social Sciences Project of China (Grant No. 19YJC790202) and the National Statistical Science Research Project of China (Grant No. 2021LZ38).

The starting point of modeling an efficient operator investing in NGA networks is the network modeling approach. In this paper, we compare the most widely adopted network modeling approaches in terms of wholesale fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) prices. In particular, the modified scorched node approach is compared to the extreme cases of the scorched node and the scorched earth approaches. The comparison between the aforementioned scenarios sheds light on the impact of each approach on the wholesale FTTH prices. The main finding of this paper is that the scorched earth approach leads to a maximum of 10% reduction in the short-term access prices compared to the most inefficient scorched node approach, whereas further extending its optimizations by optimizing the number of central offices, both the short-term and long-term wholesale price reductions are quite significant (more than 20%) regardless of service speeds. Consequently, NRAs should consider a geographically differentiated modeling approach when regulating the wholesale market by adjusting the level of scorching in each area and network segment according to the investment plans of telecom operators.

This study investigates the roles of gratifications-sought, narcissism, and personality traits in TikTok engagement behaviors (i.e., contribution, enhancement, and creation) in China. Data were gathered from a sample of 526 TikTok users through an online questionnaire survey in 2020. Factor analysis confirmed nine gratifications sought: escape, fashion, entertainment, information seeking, money making, sociability seeking, navigability, modality, and interactivity. In particular, extraverts and people with the quality of being vain were most active in the contributing, enhancing, and creating TikTok engagement behaviors. The results also show that exhibitionists and people who are more open to new experiences were found to create more, while narcissists with an attitude of entitlement also engaging strongly in giving likes, commenting, forwarding TikToks, and following others.

AI is already deployed widely and has a high impact on work and daily life activities. The continuation of this process will likely contribute to deep economic and social changes. To realise the tremendous benefits of AI while mitigating undesirable effects will require enlightened responses by many stakeholders. Varying national institutional, economic, political, and cultural conditions will influence how AI will affect convenience, efficiency, personalisation, privacy protection, and surveillance of citizens. Many expect that the winners of the AI development race will dominate the coming decades economically and geopolitically, potentially exacerbating tensions between countries. Moreover, nations are under pressure to protect their citizens and their interests-and even their own political stability-in the face of possible malicious or biased uses of AI. On the one hand, these different stressors and emphases in AI development and deployment among nations risk a fragmentation between world regions that threatens technology evolution and collaboration. On the other hand, some level of differentiation will likely enrich the global AI ecosystem in ways that stimulate innovation and introduce competitive checks and balances through the decentralisation of AI development. International cooperation, typically orchestrated by intergovernmental and nongovernmental organisations, private sector initiatives, and by academic researchers, has improved common welfare and avoided undesirable outcomes in other technology areas. Because AI will most likely have more fundamental effects on our lives than other recent technologies, stronger forms of cooperation that address broader policy and governance challenges in addition to regulatory and technological issues may be needed. At a time of great challenges among nations, international policy coordination remains a necessary instrument to tackle the ethical, cultural, economic, and political repercussions of AI. We propose to advance the emerging concept of technology diplomacy to facilitate the global alignment of AI policy and governance and create a vibrant AI innovation system. We argue that the prevention of malicious uses of AI and the enhancement of human welfare create strong common interests across jurisdictions that require sustained efforts to develop better, mutually beneficial approaches. We hope that new technology diplomacy will facilitate the dialogues necessary to help all interested parties develop a shared understanding and coordinate efforts to utilise AI for the benefit of humanity, a task whose difficulty should not be underestimated.", "Addresses": "[Feijoo, Claudio] Tech Univ Madrid, Madrid, Spain; [Feijoo, Claudio] Tongji Univ, Shanghai, Peoples R China; [Kwon, Youngsun] Korea Adv Inst Sci & Technol, Daejeon, South Korea; [Bauer, Johannes M.] Michigan State Univ, E Lansing, MI 48824 USA; [Bohlin, Erik] Chalmers Univ Technol, Gothenburg, Sweden; [Howell, Bronwyn] Victoria Univ Wellington, Wellington, New Zealand; [Jain, Rekha] Indian Inst Management Ahmedabad, Ahmadabad, Gujarat, India; [Potgieter, Petrus] Univ South Africa, Pretoria, South Africa; [Vu, Khuong] Natl Univ Singapore, Singapore, Singapore; [Whalley, Jason] Northumbria Univ, Newcastle Upon Tyne, Tyne & Wear, England; [Xia, Jun] Beijing Univ Posts & Telecommun, Beijing, Peoples R China", "Affiliations": "Universidad Politecnica de Madrid; Tongji University; Korea Advanced Institute of Science & Technology (KAIST); Michigan State University; Chalmers University of Technology; Victoria University Wellington; Indian Institute of Management (IIM System); Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad; University of South Africa; National University of Singapore; Northumbria University; Beijing University of Posts & Telecommunications", "Reprint Addresses": "Feijóo, C (corresponding author), Tech Univ Madrid, Madrid, Spain.", "Email Addresses": "claudio.feijoo@upm.es; yokwon@kaist.ac.kr; bauerj@msu.edu; erik.bohlin@chalmers.se; bronwyn.howell@vuw.ac.nz; rekha@iima.ac.in; php@grensnut.com; vuminhkhuong@nus.edu.sg; jason.whalley@northumbria.ac.uk; xiajun@bupt.edu.cn", "Researcher Ids": "Bohlin, Erik/KHT-6513-2024; Feijoo, Claudio/AAR-7878-2020; Kwon, Youngsun/C-1758-2011; Xia, Jun/AAT-7630-2020; Bauer, Johannes M./JCT-6751-2023", "ORCIDs": "Bohlin, Erik/0000-0001-5771-6438; Feijoo, Claudio/0000-0002-9499-7790; Potgieter, Petrus/0000-0003-1785-761X; Kwon, Youngsun/0000-0003-2438-1349; Xia, Jun/0000-0003-4856-7770", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 65.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 51.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 55.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 14.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 84.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

After a series of alternate seasons starting in the 60s, AI is now experiencing a new spring. Nevertheless, although it is spreading throughout our economies and societies in multiple ways, the absence of standardised classifications prevents us from obtaining a measure of its pervasiveness. In addition, AI cannot be identified as part of a specific sector, but rather as a transversal technology because the fields in which it is applied do not have precise boundaries. In this work, we address the need for a deeper understanding of this complex phenomenon by investigating economic agents involvement in industrial activities aimed to supply AI-related goods and services, and AI-related R&D processes in the form of patents and publications. In order to conduct this extensive analysis, we use a complex systems approach through the agent-artifact space model, which identifies the core dimensions that should be considered. Therefore, by considering the geographic location of the involved agents and their organisation types (i.e., firms, governmental institutions, and research institutes), we (i) provide an overview of the worldwide presence of agents, (ii) investigate the patterns in which AI technological subdomains subsist and scatter in different parts of the system, and (iii) reveal the size, composition, and topology of the AI R&D collaboration network. Based on a unique data collection of multiple micro-based data sources and supported by a methodological framework for the analysis of techno-economic segments (TES), we capture the state of AI in the worldwide landscape in the period 2009-2018. As expected, we find that major roles are played by the US, China, and the EU28. Nevertheless, by measuring the system, we unveil elements that provide new, crucial information to support more conscious discussions in the process of policy design and implementation.", "Addresses": "[Righi, Riccardo; Samoili, Sofia; Lopez Cobo, Montserrat; Vazquez-Prada Baillet, Miguel; Cardona, Melisande; De Prato, Giuditta] European Commiss, Joint Res Ctr JRC, Seville, Spain", "Affiliations": "", "Reprint Addresses": "Samoili, S (corresponding author), European Commiss, Joint Res Ctr JRC, Seville, Spain.", "Email Addresses": "riccardo.righi@ec.europa.eu; sofia.samoili@ec.europa.eu; montserrat.lopez-cobo@ec.europa.eu; miguel.vazquez-prada-baillet@ec.europa.eu; melisande.cardona@ec.europa.eu; giuditta.de-prato@ec.europa.eu", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "Samoili, Sofia/0000-0002-1997-007X", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 90.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 11.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 11.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 7.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 35.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

The consumer welfare and economic effects of bundles have been well documented. Existing literature, however, has paid little attention to identifying the facets of benefit and risk that influence subscription, the differences in switching costs between subscribers and non-subscribers, and the relationships among bundle satisfaction, customer retention, and switching costs. To address these gaps. we performed an empirical analysis using survey data from 550 individuals. Our findings show that concerns about lock-in and performance, as well as economic benefit influence subscription to the bundles, and all switching costs are higher for the subscribers than for stand-alone users. Non-monetary switching cost of bundles especially has a moderating effect on customer retention.

In the tension between information and privacy, the right to be forgotten is not an appropriate solution. Such a micro, individual-based answer puts the burden of protection on each person instead of on external entities that can abuse such knowledge. The personal responsibility to delete personal data is challenging because of the leakage of data that happens through the connections we have with others, many of whom do not share the same privacy preferences. We show that effective deletion is almost impossible (the eternity effect), and is unfair due to the resource burden it entails when users try to achieve it, while at the same time ensuring the potential benefits we can derive in the future from having personal information online. In addition, deletion requests can negatively affect other people who are in the same location and time frame and may not want to have their information deleted. Collectively, we argue also that society is worse off because these circumstances lead people to construct sanitized personas while perpetuating a culture of distrust. Given that the harm is real, we describe technology, societal norms, and the implementation of an anti-discrimination directive for the right to a personal life, and we provide evidence on how anti-discrimination efforts in the past have succeeded when legislation leads to the development of infrastructures that help to enforce them.

This depends on frequency bandwidth. Mobile communication failure causes inconveniences in a user's daily life that lead to social and economic damage. To address this issue, mobile telecommunications companies deploy additional bandwidths and develop new technologies, but these are costly strategies. This study applies a spike model based on a contingent valuation method (CVM) to measure the inconvenience cost resulting from mobile communication failure. The mean monthly willingness-to-pay (WTP) to avoid communication failure per user is estimated to be KRW 898.14 (USD 0.80) over a period of five years in our study. The inconvenience cost borne by the population is estimated to be ICRW 2.97 trillion (USD 2.61 billion). Users experiencing greater frequency of communication failure are found to be willing to pay more to avoid the inconvenience. When excluding respondents citing zero-WTP, the mean WTP per user was calculated to be KRW 3426.41 (USD 3.01). Data traffic usage and frequency at which communication failure is experienced are variables that exhibit statistically significant effects on WTP to avoid mobile communication failure. Overall, estimation results show that a price discrimination based on data traffic usage or quality can be considered by mobile telecommunications companies and regulators to address the issue of data traffic inducing mobile communication failure.", "Addresses": "[Lee, Juyong; Cho, Youngsang] Yonsei Univ, Coll Engn, Dept Ind Engn, 50 Yonsei Ro, Seoul 03722, South Korea", "Affiliations": "Yonsei University", "Reprint Addresses": "Cho, Y (corresponding author), Yonsei Univ, Coll Engn, Dept Ind Engn, 50 Yonsei Ro, Seoul 03722, South Korea.", "Email Addresses": "dlwndyd@yonsei.ac.kr; y.cho@yonsei.ac.kr", "Researcher Ids": "Lee, Juyong/Q-9227-2018", "ORCIDs": "Lee, Juyong/0000-0003-2736-3664", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 73.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 1.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 1.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 1.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 8.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

The external value of services such as broadcasting and mobile communications may be significant, yet we know that spectrum assignment by auction, for example, does not take them into account, because the successful bidder cannot monetise the value of the externality. The paper considers how this issue can be addressed. It notes that, if the spectrum assignment in question has no impact on the output of the services competing for it, value generated is unchanged, and the spectrum allocation problem reduces to the minimisation of the aggregate cost of non-spectrum inputs for the relevant services. In the more common case of variable outputs, some means of valuing external effects is needed, and possible approaches to valuation are discussed. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd.

The consequences of this divergence are profound. As technology transitions within the public switched telecommunications network proceed, the U.S. imposes fewer obligations on broadband and Internet service providers and provides a much-diminished level of consumer protection relative to that in Canada. The role of differing administrative procedures and policymaking forums is an important factor contributing to recent policy divergence. Historical analysis also reveals the importance of the role of path dependence from some early differences in U.S. and Canadian policy choices made in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. These differences in early policy choices emerged from (1) differences in federalism structures between the U.S. and Canada; (2) negation of Bell patents in Canada that triggered an earlier era of telephony competition as well as both federal and provincial policy experimentation; and (3) AT&T's unique public relations campaign of regulated monopoly developed in the U.S. in response to this earlier policy experimentation in Canada. AT&T's public relations campaign has induced a false memory in the U.S. - not found in Canada - as to the origins of regulated monopoly for telephony. This false memory has contributed to the efficacy of telecommunications carriers' false monopoly theory argument - that their historical duties have been based on the existence of monopoly, and thus are not applicable in a competitive environment - which has and continues to distort telecommunications policy development in the U.S. including the network neutrality debate. Yet, telecommunications carriers' dual status as common carriers and public utilities under the common law has created confusion in both the U.S. and Canada. This confusion has created a tendency to misattribute the duty to serve to the existence of monopoly, providing a different although still historically flawed basis for asserting a monopoly theory argument for the purpose of eliminating regulation. This confusion, however is more easily corrected in Canada where there was no comparable public relations campaign of regulated monopoly for proponents of deregulation to leverage. The resonance of early policy differences between the U.S. and Canada illustrates the complexity of pursuing telecommunications policy debates within multi-jurisdictional legal frameworks a challenge that the European Union currently faces in developing a Telecommunications Single Market.

Spectrum auctions have raised hundreds of billion dollars worldwide and have become a role model for market-based approaches in the public and private sectors. The PCS spectrum was sold via a simultaneous multi-round auction, which forces bidders to compete for licenses individually even though they typically value certain combinations. This exposes bidders to risk when they bid aggressively for a desired combination but end up winning an inferior subset. Foreseeing this possibility, bidders may act cautiously with adverse effects for revenue and efficiency. Combinatorial auctions allow for bids on combinations of licenses and thus hold the promise of improved performance. Recently, a number of countries worldwide have switched to the combinatorial clock auction to sell spectrum. This two-stage auction uses a core-selecting payment rule. The number of possible packages a bidder can submit grows exponentially with the number of licenses, which adds complexity to the auction. For larger auctions with dozens of licenses bidders cannot be expected to reveal all their valuations during such an auction. We analyze the impact of two main design choices on efficiency and revenue: simple compact bid languages versus complex fully expressive bid languages and simple pay-as-bid payment rules versus complex core-selecting payment rules. We consider these design choices both for ascending and sealed-bid formats. We find that simplicity of the bid language has a substantial positive impact on the auction's efficiency and simplicity of the payment rule has as a substantial positive impact on the auction's revenue. The currently popular combinatorial clock auction, which uses a complex bid language and payment rule, achieves the lowest efficiency and revenue among all treatment combinations.

Effective regional digital strategies should be both consistent with the European framework and based on available evidence on the needs and opportunities of local contexts. Such evidence should be used to balance the different components of the Information Society development (e.g. eServices vs. infrastructures; ICT supply and demand), so as to ensure that they can all unleash their full potential. Therefore, EU regions should spend more money to overcome regional weaknesses than to improve existing assets. In this paper we explore the different strategies of the EU's lagging regions through the analysis of the allocation of 2007-13 Structural Funds. Then, we verify whether such strategies respond to territorial conditions by comparing strategic choices made with the actual characteristics of local contexts. Results show that EU regions tend to invest more resources in those aspects in which they already demonstrate good relative performances. Possible causes of this unbalanced strategic approach are discussed, including the lack of sound analysis of the regional context and the path dependence of policy choices. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd.

Spain's mobile customer satisfaction is the lowest in the European Union. The focus of this paper is to identify the determinants of residential mobile phone users' satisfaction among private consumers of mobile telecommunications in Spain. Two innovative aspects of this paper are the focus on a nationwide representative sample of residential consumers in Spain, and the usage of rich individual data to convey high quality statistical information. The correlation of each of the aspects to the overall satisfaction are measured. Also, relationships between different aspects of satisfaction and its determinants are formulated. The paper specifies econometric models and estimates them using a survey of 4249 mobile phone users. The results indicate that customers are less satisfied with larger carriers, and are more satisfied with smaller and newer operators. Policy recommendations are suggested to improve customer satisfaction, contribute to customer retention and improve the position of the country in the international rankings. (c) 2013 Elsevier Ltd.

Using measurements of broadband network speeds between 2007 and 2011, the paper analyzes potential causes for observed differences in network performance growth across the provinces, including geography, Internet use intensity, platform competition, and provincial broadband policies. The analysis suggests provincial policies that employed public sector procurement power to open access to essential facilities and channeled public investments in Internet backbone infrastructure were associated with the emergence of relatively high quality broadband networks.

Contrary to industry and technology led analysis, this study argues that to guide consumer choice and innovation via regulatory policies requires an understanding of both ex-ante as well as in ex-post consumption conditions. This study examines mobile phone gaming to uncover how consumer anti-choice shapes decision-making as a framework for closely interrogating the ways in which policy concerns impact on consumers' behavior. Through eleven focus groups (n=62), the study empirically identifies voluntary, intentional, and positive consumer anti-choice behaviors all of which impact policy initiatives when consumers, both gamers and non-garners, self-regulate their behaviors. Findings point to four types of policy implication: regulating the self-regulated, understanding anti-choice, boundary-setting and including the self-excluded. (c) 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

However, broadband availability and adoption are not diffusing in rural and urban areas at the same rates. This article updates the rural broadband digital divide, with special attention paid to mobility. Empirical estimations of broadband provision and usage in the US show that rural areas have fewer high-speed fixed and mobile providers but more slower-speed fixed providers than urban areas. While rural availability of mobile broadband is lower than in urban areas, it still helps fill in gaps in fixed broadband coverage in rural areas. The rural gap in fixed broadband usage remains, but the mobile broadband usage gap disappears after controlling for household demographics. The raw broadband usage gaps between rural and urban households are proportionally greater for low-income households. The potential for mobile broadband to benefit rural areas through economic development is also examined. (c) 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

They argue that concerns about diminishing pluralism are likely to grow in consequence of changes in a dominant legacy media funding model as advertising revenues move online. Examining UK data, they argue that a contemporary focus of concern, growing concentration in privately owned media, is overshadowed by the striking dominance of the publicly owned BBC and suggest established analytical methodologies used to analyse market power may offer a valuable analogy in the definition and measurement of pluralism issues. They consider possible alternatives to regulation as means of enhancing pluralism and propose the use of subsidised entry. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

Concerns about exclusion remain, particularly in times of transition to new technologies and platforms. While the universal service literature is rich in econometric studies that indicate the drivers of household telephone penetration, without qualitative data directly from those households that experience phonelessness, we cannot understand the causes well enough to design effective policy. This research explores why people are phoneless in the current environment of increased platform and business model choices. Particular focus is placed on understanding the relationship between new technology, platforms and business models and phonelessness. Data is obtained from surveys completed by approximately 100 individuals in Massachusetts who are currently without any voice connection, either landline or mobile, or have been sometime in the past ten years. The survey includes questions about different platforms and communication services in order to learn how they have led to phonelessness. The results of the pilot study show that the vast majority of phoneless households do not choose to be phoneless. The study also shows that the most frequent causes of phonelessness in this population are unemployment and unpredictable bills. Many instances of unpredictable bills leading to phonelessness occur with wireless service or bundled services but are the result of business models for service provision rather than the platforms themselves. Prepaid wireless service is a market-based solution that helps households prevent phonelessness by reducing unpredictability. Universal service policy for voice and broadband can better reduce exclusion with greater attention to business models and practices versus technologies and platforms, and increased emphasis on prepaid service to reduce unpredictability.

Recent research on marketing and information systems (IS) has shed light on the habitual use of frequently used IS. This study attempts to develop a research model that clarifies the role of habit in the actual use of MDSA. Considering the unique and specific characteristics of MDSA, this study examines the antecedents of MDSA habit in an effort to elucidate key factors accelerating the development of MDSA habitual use. Data collected from 317 users who had prior experiences with MDSA were empirically tested against the research model using partial least squares (PLS). The analysis results indicate that both continuance intention and habit play an important role in the actual use of MDSA. Moreover, the findings reveal that habit is a more prevalent predictor of actual use compared to conscious intention. It was found that user satisfaction, perceived monetary value, and variety of use serve as the antecedents of MDSA habit. The theoretical and policy implications of the findings are described.

During crisis, public administrations are eager to actively impulse investment in NGANs since the deployment of these networks may increase productivity in the long run and promote economic recovery in the short run. However, the crisis has reduced the access to the credit market and has increased the fiscal deficit. Consequently, the resources of the public sector to invest have been severely limited. Thus, it is crucial to analyse how the public investment plans in NGANs should be designed and implemented during bad times, under scarcity of public resources. The article proposes some guidelines for the design and implementation of effective and affordable public projects for the deployment of NGANs. These guidelines are illustrated by discussing the Xarxa Oberta case, a project for the deployment of a NGAN in Catalonia (Spain). (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd.

A qualitative study including in-depth interviews with ISPs explored Internet diffusion in Ghana. Findings suggest that due to Ghana's inefficient and outdated fixed-line infrastructure, universal Internet access goals might not be achievable through fixed-line technologies. Rather, wireless technologies may be more efficient. However, high access costs continue to be a barrier. Policy options to encourage widespread deployment of wireless broadband and cost reduction are presented as suggestions for further research. These include using universal service funds to expand the national backbone with an open access high capacity wireless backbone to reach unserved and underserved areas, reducing license and regulatory fees for the wireless industry to encourage coverage and capacity expansion, and mandatory infrastructure sharing to reduce cost.

The discussion is supported by some empirical evidence derived from a small time-series-cross-section dataset, containing mainly information on the fixed-lines segment of the market. The analysis suggests that the price elasticity of demand for fixed lines might be sensibly higher than the levels usually found in developed countries, while the crucial role of income and other sociodemographic variables seems to be confirmed. The paper also studies the impact of cellular penetration on fixed-lines diffusion. The results suggest the existence of a (positive) network effect in low penetration areas, while substitution (displacement) seems to arise in the most developed ones. Finally, the paper analyzes the supply side of the market, to assess the impact of market competition on investment. Competition seemingly helps stimulating investment in the most developed areas, but does not seem to have a significant impact in the less developed ones. (c) 2010 Elsevier Ltd.

In this paper, we analyze the rebalancing of the tele-communications tariffs that took place in the European Union before and after the liberalization of the market in 1998. We show that the objective of satisfying the Maastricht inflation condition to allow participation in the European Monetary Union from 1999 led some national governments to block the rebalancing of telecommunications tariffs. Specifically, we demonstrate that in the years immediately before the liberalization of the telecommunications market, those countries that faced greater difficulty achieving the inflation objectives of the Maastricht Treaty reduced, rather than increased, the prices of local telephone calls and line rental. Furthermore, these countries did not intensify efforts to rebalance their tariffs after the creation of the euro. Our paper also shows that in this period the countries that diverged most from the inflation condition invested less in their telecommunications infrastructure.", "Addresses": "[Calzada, Joan] Univ Barcelona, Dept Econ, Ave Diagonal 696, Barcelona 08034, Spain; [Calzada, Joan] Univ Barcelona, BEAT, Ave Diagonal 696, Barcelona 08034, Spain; [Diaz-Serrano, Luis] Univ Rovira & Virgili, Dept Econ, ECO SOS, Ave Univ 1, Reus 43204, Spain; [Diaz-Serrano, Luis] ECEMIN Univ Nebrija, C Sta Cruz de Marcenado 27, Madrid 28015, Spain", "Affiliations": "University of Barcelona; University of Barcelona; Universitat Rovira i Virgili", "Reprint Addresses": "Calzada, J (corresponding author), Univ Barcelona, Dept Econ, Ave Diagonal 696, Barcelona 08034, Spain.;Calzada, J (corresponding author), Univ Barcelona, BEAT, Ave Diagonal 696, Barcelona 08034, Spain.", "Email Addresses": "calzada@ub.edu; luis.diaz@urv.cat", "Researcher Ids": "Calzada, Joan/R-8242-2018", "ORCIDs": "Calzada, Joan/0000-0002-2976-1677; Diaz-Serrano, Luis/0000-0001-9479-5091", "Funding Orgs": "Spanish Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities [RTI 2018-094733-B-I00, RTI 2018-096155-B-I00, PID 2021-128237OB-I00]", "Funding Name Preferred": "Spanish Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities(Spanish Government)", "Funding Text": "We thank Halvor Sann?s (Teligen) for his help on this project.

Despite increased investment in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, millions of households in the rural United States still lack adequate access to high-speed internet. In this study, we evaluate a wireless broadband network deployed in Turney, a small, underserved rural community in northwest Missouri. In addition to collecting survey data before and after this internet intervention, we collected pre-treatment and post-treatment survey data from comparison communities to serve as a control group. Due to technical constraints, some of Turney's interested participants could not connect to the network, creating an additional comparison group. These comparisons suggest two primary findings, (1) changes in using the internet for employment, education, and health could not be directly attributed to the internet intervention, and (2) the internet intervention was associated with benefits stemming from the ability to use multiple devices at once. This study has implications for the design of future broadband evaluation studies, particularly those examining underserved rather than unserved communities.

In recent years, the program has undergone significant reform to reduce the documented waste, fraud and abuse that accompanies many subsidy programs including Lifeline. The Commission has also questioned the efficiency of the program, if not the need for it, based on the argument that most Lifeline subscribers would obtain service without the subsidy. To quantify the displacement of regular paid accounts for subsidized Lifeline subscriptions, panel data and several empirical methods are used to quantify the relationship between the Lifeline and paid accounts. The analysis reveals no displacement effect, so Lifeline accounts are added to the total count of wireless subscriptions.

In 2015, the Italian Government introduced the ultrabroadband strategy, an ambitious policy agenda addressing the NGA market failures. This paper assesses the procurement policy assigning public concessions to build and manage passive infrastructure in NGA white areas: in detail, the techno-economic properties and outcomes of the auctions are analyzed, both theoretically and empirically. Because the applicable procurement law was the EU one, the EMAT scoring rules were mandatory. Relevant findings stand out, which confirm the received wisdom on first-price auctions, and extend it to high-tech sectors, where EMAT remains under-researched. First, the concession auctions unleashed vibrant bidding competition in many white areas, which enabled substantial budget savings. Second, the quality scoring rules provided adequate flexibility to prioritize the procurement of the most innovative and pro-competitive architectures (FTTH/B/P), despite the presence of high uncertainty. Third, the EMAT framework catered for a multidimensional procurement agenda; the latter targeted efficient and innovative procurement, universal service and higher market competition, while accommodating the ambitious industrial policy of the Government. Evidence of a potential trade-off between the plan implementation delay and its innovativeness emerged; such a conflict was eventually exacerbated by the bandwidth shortages generated by the COVID-19 crisis. By providing the very first study on EMAT auctions for broadband, this work stimulates future comparative research on additional EU member States.", "Addresses": "[Matteucci, Nicola] Marche Polytech Univ, DiSES, Ancona, Italy", "Affiliations": "Marche Polytechnic University", "Reprint Addresses": "Matteucci, N (corresponding author), Marche Polytech Univ, DiSES, Ancona, Italy.", "Email Addresses": "n.matteucci@univpm.it", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "", "Funding Orgs": "UNIVPM-UBINET project", "Funding Name Preferred": "UNIVPM-UBINET project", "Funding Text": "I am indebted to a few Central and Regional Government functionaries, and company executives, for fruitful discussions.

Driven by concerns of privacy, national security, surveillance, and cyber terrorism, governments around the world have been erecting barriers in cyberspace through data localization. The extent of data localization varies from free flow of data, to stringent restrictions requiring all data to be stored only within the territorial jurisdiction of the country. Though there are certain legitimate concerns regarding protection of personal data, scholars and liberal economists have long proclaimed that any restrictions on the Internet and associated digital trade will have serious economic consequences. Data localization affects digital trade between consumers and producers of digital services to varying degrees. In this paper, we use agent based modeling to study the properties and behaviours of consumers and producers under varying data localization regimes. An augmented gravity model of trade with iceberg coefficient is incorporated to reflect distancerelated costs between producers and consumers. Varying data localization compliance costs are included to reflect the effect of non-tariff barriers of data restrictions. Our extensive simulations indicate that there is often clustering of consumers around local firms in highly restrictive data localization regimes, thus enabling local firms to effectively compete against global multinationals. However, results also indicate that while free cross-border data flow enables intense competition amongst producers, data localization restrictions often limit consumer choice due to its effect on price and quality of services.", "Addresses": "[Potluri, Sai Rakshith; Sridhar, V; Rao, Shrisha] Int Inst Informat Technol Bangalore, Bangalore, Karnataka, India", "Affiliations": "", "Reprint Addresses": "Sridhar, V (corresponding author), Int Inst Informat Technol Bangalore, Bangalore, Karnataka, India.", "Email Addresses": "vsridhar@iiitb.ac.in", "Researcher Ids": "Rao, Shrisha/A-5112-2012; Sridhar, Varadharajan/AAV-6313-2020", "ORCIDs": "Rao, Shrisha/0000-0003-0625-5103; Sridhar, Varadharajan/0000-0002-1038-9908; Potluri, Sai Rakshith/0000-0003-3549-4437", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 43.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 8.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 8.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 23.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 137.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

However, it is still unclear what effects this new regulation could have on competition and, consequently, on innovation in digital markets. Therefore, this paper analyzes the effect of data portability driven by competition on the data-driven innovation response of online platforms such as Spotify, Google, and Facebook. We conduct an empirical analysis of Spotify, which is an online platform facing competition within the EU, and perform a comparison between data portability to number portability of the telecommunication sector to predict the future impact of the new regulation. Finally, we compare the observations on Spotify with Facebook and Google, which are companies in winner-takes-all markets. We argue that online platforms like Spotify, which face competition within the EU, will invest in two forms of data-driven innovation due to the effect of data portability. These types are 'exploitation-innovation,' by improving the existing technology, and 'exploration-innovation' by developing new technology. In 'exploitation-innovation,' firms, like Spotify, will increase investments in data-driven innovation to enhance users' engagement and retention to avoid churn. In 'exploration-innovation,' these firms will invest in data-driven innovation to develop new algorithms to include data from customers acquired from their competitors. On the contrary, online platforms, like Facebook or Google, which do not face real competition, will not have a substantial need to invest in data-driven innovation solely due to data portability.", "Addresses": "[Ramos, Esmeralda Florez; Blind, Knut] Tech Univ Berlin, Chair Innovat Econ, Secr Mar 2-5,Marchstr 23, D-10587 Berlin, Germany; [Blind, Knut] Fraunhofer Inst Syst & Innovat Res, Breslauer Str 48, D-76139 Karlsruhe, Germany", "Affiliations": "Technical University of Berlin; Fraunhofer Gesellschaft", "Reprint Addresses": "Blind, K (corresponding author), Tech Univ Berlin, Chair Innovat Econ, Secr Mar 2-5,Marchstr 23, D-10587 Berlin, Germany.", "Email Addresses": "esmeralda.florezramos@campus.tu-berlin.de; knut.blind@tu-berlin.de", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 101.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 9.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 9.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 14.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 77.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

Though many technological options are proposed in literature, satellite communication has been identified as the only possible solution for the most rural areas, due to its global coverage. However, deploying an end-to-end satellite solution might, in some cases, not be cost-effective. The aim of this study is to give insights into the economic effectiveness of integrating satellite communications into 4G networks in order to connect the most rural areas (also referred to as white areas) in Europe. To this end, this paper proposes a converged solution that combines satellite communication as a backhaul network with 4G as a fronthaul network to bring enhanced broadband connectivity to European rural areas, along with a techno-economic model to analyse the economic viability of this integration. The model is based on a Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) model for 5 years, taking into account both capital and operational expenditures, and aims to calculate the TCO as well as the Average Cost Per User (ACPU) for the studied scenarios. We evaluate the suggested model by simulating a hypothetical use case for two scenarios. The first scenario is based on a radio access network connecting to the 4G core network via a satellite link. Results for this scenario show high operational costs. In order to reduce these costs, we propose a second scenario, consisting of caching the popular content on the edge to reduce the traffic carried over the satellite link. This scenario demonstrates a significant operational cost decrease (more than 60%), which also means a significant ACPU decrease. We evaluate the robustness of the results by simulating for a range of population densities, hereby also providing an indication of the economic viability of our proposed solution across a wider range of areas.", "Addresses": "[Chiha, Asma; Van der Wee, Marlies; Colle, Didier; Verbrugge, Sofie] Univ Ghent, IMEC, Ghent, Belgium", "Affiliations": "Ghent University; IMEC", "Reprint Addresses": "Chiha, A (corresponding author), Univ Ghent, IMEC, Ghent, Belgium.", "Email Addresses": "asma.chihaepharbi@ugent.be; marlies.vanderwee@ugent.be; didier.colle@UGent.be; sofie.verbrugge@ugent.be", "Researcher Ids": "Verbrugge, Sofie/GQY-4760-2022; asma, chiha/HWQ-3699-2023", "ORCIDs": "asma, chiha/0000-0002-7648-1598", "Funding Orgs": "European Union [761413]; COST-action [CA15127]; H2020 - Industrial Leadership [761413] Funding Source: H2020 - Industrial Leadership", "Funding Name Preferred": "European Union(European Union (EU)); COST-action(European Cooperation in Science and Technology (COST)); H2020 - Industrial Leadership(European Union (EU)H2020 - Industrial Leadership)", "Funding Text": "The authors would like to acknowledge all partners in the SaT5G project.

First, this study finds that appropriate telework hours increase labor productivity, but when telework hours are too long, telework decreases labor productivity. Second, telework increases life satisfaction, and life satisfaction improves labor productivity. However, telework increases the stress of balancing work and domestic chores, contrary to Japanese governmental expectations, and the stress decreases life satisfaction. The stress, fortunately, does not directly reduce labor productivity. Although telework increases happiness and work satisfaction, these factors do not influence labor productivity. Third, this study clarifies that telework is more efficient for improving labor productivity if workers commute more than 1 h or commute by trains or buses that are usually very crowded during rush hours in Japan. Finally, the effect of telework for workers who have a greater number of potential trivial duties is insignificantly larger. Supervisors and colleagues often ask others to perform trivial, extra tasks without regard for schedules. Telework may help workers avoid such trivial duties and increase labor productivity. However, the importance of trivial duties is also demonstrated in this study.", "Addresses": "[Kazekami, Sachiko] Keio Univ, Fac Business & Commerce, Minato Ku, 2-15-45 Mita, Tokyo 1088345, Japan", "Affiliations": "Keio University", "Reprint Addresses": "Kazekami, S (corresponding author), Keio Univ, Fac Business & Commerce, Minato Ku, 2-15-45 Mita, Tokyo 1088345, Japan.", "Email Addresses": "sachikok@fbc.keio.ac.jp", "Researcher Ids": "Kazekami, Sachiko/JQI-3539-2023; Alidadi, Mehdi/HJZ-0235-2023", "ORCIDs": "Kazekami, Sachiko/0000-0001-8524-5485; Alidadi, Mehdi/0000-0001-5183-7829", "Funding Orgs": "Keio Gijuku Academic Development Funds; Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS KAKENHI) [19K01721]; Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research [19K01721] Funding Source: KAKEN", "Funding Name Preferred": "Keio Gijuku Academic Development Funds; Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS KAKENHI)(Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, Japan (MEXT)Japan Society for the Promotion of ScienceGrants-in-Aid for Scientific Research (KAKENHI)); Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research(Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, Japan (MEXT)Japan Society for the Promotion of ScienceGrants-in-Aid for Scientific Research (KAKENHI))", "Funding Text": "The data for this secondary analysis, Japanese Panel Study of Employment Dynamics, Recruit Works Institute, was provided by the Social Science Japan Data Archive, Center for Social Research and Data Archives, Institute of Social Science, The University of Tokyo.

On the other hand, cloud computing services are being provided not only for simple data storage, but for many purposes through several different service models, such as SaaS (Software as a Service), PaaS (Platform as a Service) and IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service). Due to, among other factors, the nature of its network externalities, the market seems to be gradually shifting to a market with oligopolistic characteristics in which the services are provided by a limited number of bigname firms. In this paper, the impact of the shift of the cloud computing market to a market with oligopolistic characteristics on utility-based social welfare is quantitatively estimated and analyzed utilizing DSGE (Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium) model-based simulation. The main objectives of the paper, rather than to ascertain the exact change of utility-based social welfare, are (1) to determine whether there is a (realistic) shifting path of macroeconomic variables in Japan's case, under the shift and (2) to illustrate the dynamic interaction of the macroeconomic variables. Utility-based social welfare is chosen, because for the purpose of evaluating policy measures it would be more suitable than GDP. Also, several kinds of policy measures for the sound development of the cloud computing market that the industry and government can take are discussed in a sense related to a market with oligopolistic characteristics.", "Addresses": "[Ozu, Atsushi; Morikawa, Hiroyuki] Univ Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan; [Kasuga, Norihiro] Konan Univ, Kobe, Hyogo, Japan", "Affiliations": "University of Tokyo; Konan University", "Reprint Addresses": "Ozu, A (corresponding author), Univ Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan.", "Email Addresses": "aozu@alum.mit.edu; nkasuga@konan-u.ac.jp", "Researcher Ids": "Kasuga, Norihiro/IAP-1849-2023", "ORCIDs": "Kasuga, Norihiro/0000-0002-8648-7205", "Funding Orgs": "Telecommunications Advancement Foundation; [16K03687]", "Funding Name Preferred": "Telecommunications Advancement Foundation(Telecommunications Advancement Foundation);", "Funding Text": "The authors would like to thank Prof. Masatsugu Tsuji, Prof. Federico Etro and attendees at TPRC 44 (2016) and the 14th International Telecommunications Society Asia-Pacific Conference (2017) for their helpful comments and discussion.

This study identifies the promising services from a consumer's perspective using analytic hierarchy process analysis and examines experts' views on which industries and firms, as keystone players, are expected to provide the competitive killer services in the market. The results show that the service that consumers find the most important is driving assistance, followed by infotainment and Internet of Things hubs. Meanwhile, the experts rank the importance of industrial player as in the order of Information Technology device manufacturers, followed by platform providers, automobile manufacturers, and network providers, while at the company level, the rank is in the order of Samsung Electronics, Hyundai Motor, Naver, and SK Telecom, respectively. These findings show that consumers regard smart cars as futuristic vehicles, yet continue to emphasize their conventional value as a means of transport, while the experts expect that among the various industry players, IT companies are most likely to enable the concept of the smart car to become a reality.", "Addresses": "[Park, Jiyoun; Nam, Changi; Kim, Hye-jin] Korea Adv Inst Sci & Technol, Dept Business & Technol Management, N22,291 Daehak Ro,373-1 Guseong Dong, Daejeon 34141, South Korea", "Affiliations": "Korea Advanced Institute of Science & Technology (KAIST)", "Reprint Addresses": "Kim, HJ (corresponding author), Korea Adv Inst Sci & Technol, Dept Business & Technol Management, N22,291 Daehak Ro,373-1 Guseong Dong, Daejeon 34141, South Korea.", "Email Addresses": "hyejinkim@kaist.ac.kr", "Researcher Ids": "Kim, Hye-jin/F-9089-2013", "ORCIDs": "Kim, Hye-jin/0000-0001-8586-5625", "Funding Orgs": "Ministry of Education of the Republic of Korea; National Research Foundation of Korea [NRF-2016S1A3A2924760]", "Funding Name Preferred": "Ministry of Education of the Republic of Korea(Ministry of Education (MOE), Republic of Korea); National Research Foundation of Korea(National Research Foundation of Korea)", "Funding Text": "This work was supported by the Ministry of Education of the Republic of Korea and the National Research Foundation of Korea (NRF-2016S1A3A2924760).", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 122.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 19.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 19.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 2.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 26.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

As participation in society becomes largely dependent on use of internet-enabled technologies, internet non-users may seek alternative ways of using the internet. Proxy Internet use (PIU), where interne non-users ask internet users to perform online activities on their behalf, is a strategy for obtaining (indirect) internet access. This study examines factors for engagement in PIU, focusing specifically on how non-users' reasons for disengagement relate to their engagement in PIU. The results from multivariate analyses of survey data from a nation-wide representative sample show that 47% of internet non-users in Slovenia who report having someone available for PIU in fact engage in PIU. In analysing four types of reasons for internet non-use those related to interest, access, costs and skills the results show that access issues are negatively related to engagement in PIU. Conversely, reasons related to skills issues are positively related to engagement in PIU. Considering that access to online services through PIU offers an important degree of digital inclusion, the results of this study have important policy implications. Policy initiatives tackling digital inequalities should be sensible to access and skills issues resulting in disengagement. For example, policies directed at providing and maintaining internet access at a household level may result in non-users' increased opportunities for PIU.

There exists a wealth of extant conceptual studies, however, further operational studies are needed to establish a specific path towards implementation of such data to governance decision-making with analytical algorithms that are appropriate for each step of the path. This paper proposes a framework for the use of citizen-centered big data analysis to drive governance intelligence in smart cities from two perspectives: urban governance issues and data-analysis algorithms. The framework consists of three layers: 1) A data-merging layer, which builds a citizen-centered panoramic data set for each citizen by merging citizen-related big data from multiple sources in collaborative urban governance via similarity calculation and conflict resolution; 2) a knowledge discovery layer, which plots the citizen profile and citizen persona at both individual and group levels in terms of urban public service delivery and citizen participation via simple statistical analysis techniques, machine learning, and econometrics methods; and 3) a decision-making layer, which uses ontology models to standardize urban governance-related attributes, personas, and associations to support governance decision-making via data mining and Bayesian Net techniques. Finally, the proposed framework is validated in a case study on blood donation governance in China. This research highlights the value of citizen-centered big data, pushes data-to-decision research from conceptual to operational, synthesizes previously published frameworks for citizen-centered big data analysis in smart cities, and enhances the mutual supplement cross multiple disciplinaries.", "Addresses": "[Ju, Jingrui; Liu, Luning; Feng, Yuqiang] Harbin Inst Technol, Sch Management, 13 Fayuan St, Harbin 150001, Heilongjiang, Peoples R China", "Affiliations": "Harbin Institute of Technology", "Reprint Addresses": "Liu, LN (corresponding author), Harbin Inst Technol, Sch Management, 13 Fayuan St, Harbin 150001, Heilongjiang, Peoples R China.", "Email Addresses": "liuluning@hit.edu.cn", "Researcher Ids": "ju, jinrui/JFJ-7255-2023", "ORCIDs": "Liu, Luning/0000-0002-5539-5623", "Funding Orgs": "National Natural Science Foundation of China [91646105, 71201039, 71429001, 71472053]; Ph.D. Programs Foundation of Ministry of Education of China [20132302110017]; Postdoctoral Science Foundation of China [2014M550198, 2015T80363]", "Funding Name Preferred": "National Natural Science Foundation of China(National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC)); Ph.D. Programs Foundation of Ministry of Education of China(Ministry of Education, China); Postdoctoral Science Foundation of China(China Postdoctoral Science Foundation)", "Funding Text": "This research was supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China [91646105, 71201039, 71429001, 71472053]; the Ph.D. Programs Foundation of Ministry of Education of China [20132302110017]; the Postdoctoral Science Foundation of China [2014M550198, 2015T80363].", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 84.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 54.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 59.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 20.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 231.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

We apply both parametric and nonparametric econometric techniques to study the distribution dynamics of telecom services across the states. Further, we employ the generalised method of moment (GMM) to examine the determinants of telecommunications services in India. Our results indicate that the interstate gap in telecommunications services has been declining over time and there is a tendency for convergence in teledensity towards the national average. The regression analysis suggests that per capita income and network externality are significant determinants of teledensity across states in India. Furthermore, literacy rate and relative size of the service sector are independently significant predictors of teledensity. If we consider rural and urban areas separately, there are some important differences. For example, while the interstate gaps in telecom services in rural areas seem to have declined, there is little evidence of such a tendency in urban areas. However, the regression results with respect to the importance of per capita income and network externality for telecom services are robust to the rural-urban divide and to the inclusion of additional explanatory variables.

According to the balanced growth path analysis, ICT investment-specific technological change accounts for 18.8% to labor productivity growth in 1995-2005, then 14.3% in 2006-2015, and the decline in the rate of ICT investment-specific technological change has contributed to the slow productivity growth since the mid-2000s. In cyclical fluctuations, ICT investment-specific technological shocks were significant in output variance in 1996-2005, but neutral technological shocks and non-ICT investment specific shocks became dominant in 2006-2015. In sum, it can be concluded that the impacts of ICT investment specific technology have diminished in the growth path and cyclical fluctuations. The result that increased (decreased) ICT investment intensity with faster (slower) ICT investment-specific technological change lead to higher (lower) productivity growth indicates that Korea has been a case against the productivity paradox, and sustained technological progress in ICT and expansion of ICT usage could have boosted the productivity growth.

This has been the key argument for the use of combinatorial auctions in the recent years. Considering synergistic valuations turns the allocation problem into a computationally hard optimization problem that generally cannot be approximated to a constant factor in polynomial time. Ascending auction designs such as the Simultaneous Multiple Round Auction (SMRA) and the single-stage or two-stage Combinatorial Clock Auction (CCA) can be seen as simple heuristic algorithms to solve this problem. Such heuristics do not necessarily compute the optimal solution, even if bidders are truthful. We study the average efficiency loss that can be attributed to the simplicity of the auction algorithm with different levels of synergies. Our simulations are based on realistic instances of bidder valuations we inferred from bid data from the 2014 Canadian 700 MHz auction. The goal of the paper is not to reproduce the results of the Canadian auction but rather to perform out-of-sample counterfactuals comparing SMRA and CCA under different synergy conditions when bidders maximize payoff in each round. With linear synergies, a bidder's marginal value for a license grows linearly with the total number of licenses won, while with the extreme national synergies, this marginal value is independent of the number of licenses won unless the bidder wins all licenses in a national package. We find that with the extreme national synergy model, the CCA is indeed more efficient than SMRA. However, for the more realistic case of linear synergies, SMRA outperforms various versions of CCA that have been implemented in the field including the one used in the Canadian 700 MHz auction.

In both cases, the use of this spectrum could reduce the rollout costs of a Radio Access Network (RAN) based on Long Term Evolution (LTE) technology. The perceived value of 700 MHz is presented in this article as the difference in the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of deploying the network with and without this spectrum. However, the rollout costs can differ greatly among MNOs if they previously hold different spectrum portfolios that may or may not include sub-1 GHz frequencies. The results of this study reveal that an MNO not holding the additional 2x10 MHz at 800 MHz, would perceive 62% more value of 2x10 MHz at 700 MHz, than an MNO that does hold 2x10 MHz at 800 MHz. In addition, the value of this spectrum comes largely from urban areas, where networks are strongly capacity-constrained. This leads to the conclusion that under current demand forecasts, low-frequency spectrum starts being more valuable for simply being spectrum, rather than for being low frequency. Indeed, the results prove that adding spectrum with similar propagation characteristics to a coverage-constrained network is of no value.", "Addresses": "[Frias, Zoraida; Gonzalez-Valderrama, Carlos; Perez Martinez, Jorge] Univ Politecn Madrid, Madrid, Spain", "Affiliations": "Universidad Politecnica de Madrid", "Reprint Addresses": "Frias, Z (corresponding author), Univ Politecn Madrid, Madrid, Spain.", "Email Addresses": "", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "", "Funding Orgs": "Spanish Ministry of Education through FPU", "Funding Name Preferred": "Spanish Ministry of Education through FPU", "Funding Text": "The authors would like to thank Edward Oughton for reviewing the paper.

Discourses here mean narratives that assign roles to actors, and specify causes and outcomes for events. Based on the theory and practice of international development we identify two dimensions to participation and ICT4D: whether participation 1) is hierarchical/top-down or agent-driven/bottom-up, and 2) involves conflict or cooperation. Based on these dimensions we articulate four ideal types of discourse that permeate ICT and development efforts: stakeholder-based discourses that emphasize consensus, networked efforts among actors collaborating in network arrangements, mobilization discourses that account for contestation over meanings of participation, and oppositional discourses from 'grassroots' actors that also include conflict. We conclude that ICT4D efforts, depending on the context of their implementation, are permeated by multiple discourses about participation. Our four ideal types of participation discourses are, therefore, useful starting points to discuss the intricate dynamics of participation in ICT4D projects. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd.

Looking at the determinants of mobile network coverage helps highlight both operators' strategies and individual users' decisions. Subscribers often install small wireless antennas called femto-cells within buildings with poor signal. The location and density of these antennas provides information for areas with significant demand but poor coverage-areas where coverage is effectively crowdsourced. In contrast to the development of fixed-line networks, average income, population, geography, and education are the main drivers of both telecom and femto-cell based mobile coverage. Low-income regions are found to receive almost 15% less coverage compared to their affluent counterparts and have two fewer telecom base stations installed for equal distributions of (potential) subscribers. Base stations tend to be at least three times further from lower-income subscribers. Within poorly-covered areas, wealthier households are able to compensate by investing in femto-cells, but poorer households are often excluded from communication networks and the internet. The results of this research has implications for information policy. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd.

In our analysis we suggest exclusionary practices may play a major role explaining the rise of winner-takes-it-all markets on the Internet. The entry deterrence literature has extensively analyzed incumbents' strategic moves in order to make market entry unprofitable or, at least, to minimize the harm that entry causes. In our paper we propose a richer theoretical framework allowing both the incumbent as well as a new entrant to carry out strategic investments. Those allow the incumbent to deter market entry, but also the new entrant to squeeze the incumbent out of the market. We find that competitive advantage and strategic interaction determine a winner-takes-it all or a duopoly market outcome. If neither player enjoys a clear-cut cost or demand advantage, a duopoly market outcome will emerge. However, for both incumbent and new entrant there is a strong incentive to complement a possible competitive advantage with exclusionary practices in order to monopolize a market and increase profits. This result suggests winner-takes-it-all market results on the Internet may result from exclusionary practices, nourishing antitrust concerns with today's major Internet players' market dominance.

Results show that changes in youth and female unemployment rates are correlated positively with growth of domestic IT production. Within educational subcategories, the correlation is positive and significant especially for youth females at lower educational levels; and negative at the vocational high school level, especially for youth male. At the same time the growth in number of individuals employed as well as workforce size are correlated positively with growth in domestic IT production for male youth at the university level, and negatively at the vocational high school level for females. The youth workforce composition changes significantly during the period of our study.

We propose a composite measure of digital inclusion/exclusion which combines three sub-indexes, each integrating a number of variables into a single indicator. This framework covers access (to ICT devices and technological connectivity), basic skills (individual know-how for elementary uses), and complex capabilities (higher-level ability for creative engagement and ICT-mediated interaction). On the basis of a composite measure ranging from 0 to 100 we provide quantitative assessments of informational inequality levels amongst individuals and by employing an ordered probit model we are able to identify its key determinants. We explore a large and rather under-exploited nationally representative dataset - the official large-scale survey of information and knowledge society, a Eurostat standardised data collection instrument. In Portugal this is implemented by the Portuguese National Statistics Office, which for 2011 reached a sample of 7175 respondents. Results show a high level of inequality, especially in terms of ability for basic as well as complex ICT utilisation. This particular inequality configuration seems to be mostly explained by age, education, employment situation, household type, and income distribution. Methodological approaches such as ours, which may be extended to other national cases, can be considered as an increasingly appropriate way to address the need for a new generation of equality-friendly ICT policies that go beyond the early notions of digital divide focusing on the availability of ICT tools (to have or to not have resources) and start addressing individual and interactive uses (emerging behavioural developments).

One of the main motivations behind the Commission's introduction of the Framework was the promotion of competition in electronic communications sector in regard to the welfare of EU citizens and the creation of a common market for electronic communications. Notwithstanding the fact that the telecommunications market has opened and new operators with new service offerings have emerged, a lot of criticism has been voiced regarding the Framework's effectiveness on several fronts (e.g. infrastructure based competition, wholesale/retail costs, uniform market structure across Europe). The paper takes another look at the implementation of the current Regulatory Framework and the ex ante remedies imposed across Member States. The implementation of the Framework is related to the evolution and competition of the fixed narrowband, fixed broadband and mobile group of markets, using indicators for an empirical discussion of the market analysis process in the EU. It uses data derived mainly from the European Commission itself and calculates indices that paint a, clearer picture with respect to the evolution and competition in the above group of markets. Based on this process, the paper provides very strong indications that the current Regulatory Framework and in particular the market analysis process promotes competition both at wholesale and retail level. Finally, the paper suggests that the decision to remove market 15 from the list of markets susceptible for ex ante regulation should be revisited. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd.

This methodology, based on OECD/EC-JRC Handbook and incorporating experts' opinion into a Data Envelopment Analysis, will allow us to define a ranking of Italian regions in terms of ICT adoption and of e-service development. Data are obtained by merging four different surveys carried out by Between Co. (2010-2011) and Istat - Italy's National Bureau of Statistics (2009). We add to extant empirical literature in three ways. First, we offer a comprehensive measurement of advances in digital government that is not circumscribed to a single domain (e.g. administrative procedures of public administrations) but is rather aimed to capture a wide spectrum of public e-services (e-government, e-education, Intelligent Transport Systems, e-health). Second, we tackle a major drawback of existing statistics and benchmarking studies which are largely based on the count of services provided online, by including more sophisticated indicators on the quality of services offered and on back office changes. The results - both in terms of scores and regional rankings - highlight the presence of different patterns of adoption and use of public e-services at the local level. Third, we offer a rich account of the extreme heterogeneity of public e-service development and of the underlying technological and organizational change at the sub-national level, and hence provide a basis for the differentiating policy measures across regions.

The publication of the Digital Agenda has put forward challenging goals for the broadband connectivity in Europe, but the rollout of next generation fixed access networks is still lagging. One of the reasons is the high initial investment cost associated with the rollout of these networks. To decrease this cost, a cooperation model between utility operators during the deployment phase is proposed in this paper. A model has been developed, in order to optimize the position of the different infrastructures in the trench and to allow for a fair allocation of the different costs incurred between all cooperating parties. The combination of these models has shown that a synergetic deployment phase of new infrastructures, both in Greenfield and Brownfield installations, can decrease the deployment costs for fiber infrastructure up to 21%.

The availability of spectrum varies considerably between different countries due to national regulatory decisions. The focus in this paper is on India where operators have access to a limited amount of spectrum. This paper analyses the value of spectrum by estimating the opportunity cost, which is calculated by the savings that can be achieved by acquiring appropriate amount of spectrum rather than investing in additional base stations. The applied approach combines network deployment, user demand levels, cost, and capacity issues, which are integrated in the application in the opportunity cost approach for spectrum. The opportunity cost of spectrum is compared with prices paid at spectrum auctions. The analysis includes a discussion of drivers that determine the willingness to pay for spectrum. The results show that the opportunity cost of spectrum in relation to auction prices is lower than prices operators paid for 3G spectrum in the metro circles (service areas) while the value derived from the opportunity cost is higher than auction prices in the remaining circles.

The framework used in this paper is the aggregate production function, where IT capital is considered as a separate input of production along with non-IT capital and labour. The empirical results from the study indicate the evidence of robust technical progress in the Australian economy in the 1990s. IT capital had a significant impact on output, labour productivity and technical progress in the 1990s. In recent years, however, the contribution of IT capital on output and labour productivity has slowed down. Regaining the IT capital productivity therefore remains as a key challenge for Australia, especially in the context of greater IT investment in the future. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd.

The plan also recommends economic development officials include broadband in their local development strategies. While these are certainly import goals, more research is needed to evaluate how broadband impacts the regional business environment, and regional capacity to retain and attract businesses in particular industries. In order to further our understanding about the linkages between broadband and businesses, and the ability of places to retain and attract businesses in particular industries, this study will develop and estimate econometric models to better understand the linkages between broadband and firms in the knowledge intensive sector. Specifically, 54 metropolitan area specific models will be developed to examine regional variations in the linkages between broadband and firms in the knowledge intensive sector in 2004. Model results highlight the importance of broadband to knowledge firms in all but five metropolitan areas across the U.S. They also reveal variations in the impact of broadband on knowledge firm presence related to metropolitan area size and industrial legacy.

The analysis is based on a survey of plans and tariffs conducted by the authors during Q2 2010. Their results suggest that fixed broadband services in LAC are generally expensive and of poor quality when benchmarked against Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) countries, although there is significant variance between markets in the region. In order to isolate the effect of prices on broadband adoption they use an instrumental-variable approach. Their findings show that broadband demand is relatively elastic to price in LAC but not in the OECD. They estimate that an average price reduction of 10% would result in an increase of almost 22% in the penetration rate in LAC, equivalent to almost 8.5 million additional broadband connections. Several policy implications result from these findings. First, national broadband policies in LAC should pay a closer attention to a deficit of competition in fixed broadband services, as households and firms face high prices for poor quality services, thus deterring adoption. Second, while their findings generally suggest that price reductions could significantly increase penetration, they elasticity estimates reveal that price effects might not be sufficient to achieve the penetration goals set in national broadband plans. This validates the need for complementary policy strategies that affect other determinants of broadband demand. The example of Brazil is used to illustrate this finding. (c) 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

With respect to the US wireline telecommunications sector, recent changes in unbundling regulations, as well as intermodal competition and mergers, have just increased uncertainty in a sector still marked by the Telecommunications Act of 1996. Although Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) has become a methodology commonly used in many efficiency assessment applications, in the telecommunications context there is a need to implement an approach that takes into account carry-over activities between consecutive years; because of a wide customer base, financial long-term planning and investments in network elements and facilities are crucial for Local Exchange Carriers (LECs) to succeed. To that end, a Dynamic DEA application is formulated in this paper to evaluate the Incumbent LECs' (ILECs) performance from 1997 to 2007. Finally, a regression analysis has been carried out to establish the impact of competition and regulatory schemes upon carriers' efficiency. The results show that local competition has worsened efficiency, whereas neither intermodal competition nor incentive regulation has such a clear influence. (c) 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

Peru's mobile telephone diffusion has occurred in a concentrated market with relatively high prices and as such it features consumer behaviors such as call management, multiple subscriptions and handset sharing. The study uses two growth models, the Gompertz and the Logistic, compared in terms of fit and forecasting performance using the R-2, RMSE and MAPE statistics. The empirical results indicate that the Gompertz model is the most appropriate. Principal Component Analysis, a technique that reduces the arbitrary nature of variable selection, found the determinants of diffusion to be Market concentration, Population, Regulated interconnection tariffs and GDP per capita. The Gompertz model's 5-year forecast of subscriptions predicts a further 11.72 million subscribers, which was validated through the use of linear and nonlinear regressions and 95 percent confidence limits. The study is relevant to Peru's telecommunications industry due to a recent policy focus on mobile business and a new market entrant. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd.

The success of mobile telephony is attributed to the opening of markets for private players and lenient regulatory policy. However, markets may be increasingly saturated and new regulations introduced across Africa could also have a negative impact on future growth. Since 2006, the majority of countries in the region have introduced mandatory registration of users of prepaid SIM cards with their personal identity details. This potentially increases the costs of using mobile telephony. Herein a fixed effects model for the estimation of the impact of mandatory registration on mobile subscription penetration growth is presented, which is based upon a panel dataset of 32 countries in Sub-Saharan Africa for the years 2000 to 2010. The results show that the introduction of mandatory registration depresses growth in mobile penetration. Further, the potential impact of mandatory registration on competition and consumer privacy is critically discussed. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

However, given the proliferating vehicles through which one's identity can be ascertained, the question remains as to what policies can most effectively protect personal identity. This paper explores the similarities and differences with online privacy regulation in the United States and China. The scope of privacy measures examined here ranges from government to personal levels, from communication and finance to personal records, for adults and children. As might be expected in a democracy, American legislative initiatives are more comprehensive and far-reaching than those of their Chinese counterparts. In China, there was until recently no specific right of privacy specified in dedicated legislation, with privacy having been instead protected under the right of reputation in the Civil law. Policy implications stemming from these competing models are evaluated. Study findings underscore the notion that privacy should be a universally established individual right, and that both countries are moving-at least in rhetorical terms-to strengthen it as such.

The results may provide information that helps policymakers decide where to put limited resources to promote ICT, and helps profit-seeking ICT companies target regions that maximize revenues. The study found that education is far more important than income in predicting the percentage of households who adopt ICT services, and that some unexpected variables such as the penetration of pickup trucks are useful predictors as well. Even in areas where fixed-line phone service is available, 70% of households with computers choose not to become Internet subscribers, although many presumably have enough money and technical knowledge. By separating availability from penetration of ICT, the study found that they can have different predictors, which means that researchers who do not separate them may get misleading results. There is no evidence showing mobile telephone service as a substitute for fixed-line telephone service. Also, public telephone service had little or no impact as a substitute for fixed-line or mobile telephone service, so phone companies need not fear that deployment of more public telephones will decrease their subscribership. Finally, there appears to be significant unmet demand for telephone service in rural Thailand where the infrastructure does not yet exist. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd.

Using a difference-in-differences framework, the research design exploits variation in the timing of a community's approval of a referendum in order to examine whether incumbent private providers adjust their speed offerings in response to the signal that public entry is more likely. Faster upgrades could suggest that incumbents do so to deter public entry or that potential competition is quality-enhancing. Slower upgrades could suggest that public entry threats deter investment in quality. I find no evidence that cable providers' upgrading behavior responds to the passage of a referendum. However, after a municipality passes a referendum, the largest DSL provider in the state offers speeds in that local area 11%-26% lower than what they would have been otherwise. I find weak evidence that small-time DSL providers substantially upgrade speeds after a referendum passes.

Two of the most important conditions are: i) partial unbundling, i.e. the rights must be unbundled into several separate packages; and ii) the no-single-buyer rule, i.e. the packages must be sold to different broadcasters. This article shows how a combinatorial auction can be employed to sell broadcasting rights allocating them endogenously based on the broadcasters' bids and, thus, without requiring the seller to pre-determine the packages of such rights. This feature can address various competition policy issues, including facilitating market entry and preventing coordination among bidders. Also, a combinatorial auction has the potential to achieve higher levels of allocative efficiency and higher revenue levels compared to auctions with predetermined packages of broadcasting rights.", "Addresses": "[Henriques, David] RBB Econ, 199 Bishopsgate, London EC2M 3TY, England; [Henriques, David] London Sch Econ, Houghton St, London WC2A 2AE, England", "Affiliations": "University of London; London School Economics & Political Science", "Reprint Addresses": "Henriques, D (corresponding author), RBB Econ, 199 Bishopsgate, London EC2M 3TY, England.;Henriques, D (corresponding author), London Sch Econ, Houghton St, London WC2A 2AE, England.", "Email Addresses": "David.Henriques@rbbecon.com", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 40.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 0.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 0.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 2.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 4.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

The analysis employs the System Generalized Method of Moments (SYS-GMM) for 36 OECD countries over the period of 2000-2018. The empirical findings indicate that digitalization, green innovation, renewable energy, and financial development substantially promote environmental sustainability. Moreover, the interaction between digitalization, green innovation, renewable energy utilization, and financial development enhances the ecological footprint-mitigating effect of digitalization.

Upgrading the information infrastructure lays a foundation for companies to use information technology to innovate; therefore, this study examines the impact of information infrastructure upgrading on companies' innovation ability and the intermediate mechanism. Using a sample of China's listed companies of A-share from 2011 to 2018, this study used the staggered difference-in-difference method to investigate the impact of information infrastructure upgrading on innovation input, innovation output and quality. The results show that upgrading information infrastructure has a 'double-edged sword' effect on the innovation ability of companies. Companies' innovation input and output significantly increase, but innovation quality decreases. Additionally, further analysis indicates that financial constraints and managerial myopia are intermediary mechanisms for this effect. Our research results provide theoretical and empirical evidence for companies to enhance their innovation ability.", "Addresses": "[Xu, Shengxiang; Dong, Shuli; Guo, Zizheng] Wuhan Univ, Sch Econ & Management, Wuhan 430061, Hubei, Peoples R China; [Chen, Hsinghung] Macau Univ Sci & Technol, Sch Business, Ave Wai Long, Taipa, Macao, Peoples R China", "Affiliations": "Wuhan University; Macau University of Science & Technology", "Reprint Addresses": "Guo, ZZ (corresponding author), Wuhan Univ, Sch Econ & Management, Wuhan 430061, Hubei, Peoples R China.", "Email Addresses": "xusxang@whu.edu.cn; hhchen@must.edu.mo; dshuli1028@163.com; g.zizheng@foxmail.com", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "Guo, Zizheng/0000-0002-9115-1212", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 76.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 4.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 4.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 38.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 83.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

Although many scholars have reviewed the existing blockchain research, most of the previous review articles focused on the application of technology or blockchain in specific industries or scenarios, and lacked a comprehensive review of the application of blockchain technology in the business field. Based on a systematic literature review approach and cluster analysis, this study quantitatively analyzed 2830 papers obtained from the Web of Science to fill this gap. By constructing a three-layer research framework, this research enumerates the infrastructure and protocols of blockchain technology in detail, and on this basis develops a three-subjects value creation model. The model highlights that business value can be created from transactions, crypto-economic models, and analytical and automated processes in the interaction of organizations, individuals, and technologies. Different blockchainbased applications solve different kinds of economic problems, including information storage/ sharing, consensus generation and governance. This study expands the blockchain literature and deepens our understanding of how blockchain technology affects organizations and individuals in the business world. The newly proposed research framework can inspire practitioners and managers to discover opportunities for business model innovation. This work provides a solid research foundation and practical guidance for academics and practitioners who are interested in blockchain-based business.", "Addresses": "[Sun, Yi; Jiang, Shiqing; Jia, Wanjiao; Wang, Yu] Shanghai Univ, Sch Management, Shanghai 200444, Peoples R China; [Jia, Wanjiao] Shanghai Univ, Sch Management, Room 423,Jingguan Bldg, 99 Shangda Rd, Shanghai 200444, Peoples R China", "Affiliations": "Shanghai University; Shanghai University", "Reprint Addresses": "Jia, WJ (corresponding author), Shanghai Univ, Sch Management, Room 423,Jingguan Bldg, 99 Shangda Rd, Shanghai 200444, Peoples R China.", "Email Addresses": "sunyi_im@shu.edu.cn; jiangsq@shu.edu.cn; jiawanjiao@126.com; WOvOY@outlook.com", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "Jia, Wanjiao/0000-0002-1533-4674", "Funding Orgs": "Shanghai Planning Office of Philosophy and Social Science; National Natural Science Foundation; [2019EJB004]; [71802126]", "Funding Name Preferred": "Shanghai Planning Office of Philosophy and Social Science; National Natural Science Foundation(National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC)); ;", "Funding Text": "Fundings This work was supported by the Shanghai Planning Office of Philosophy and Social Science under Grant [number 2019EJB004] ; and the National Natural Science Foundation under Grant [number 71802126] .", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 71.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 5.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 5.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 19.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 65.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

However, the Internet has proliferated unevenly across the world, resulting in a global digital divide. In the past decade, concerns related to technology 'haves' and 'haves not' have grown in prominence in the countries of South Asia (including India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Nepal) that are witnessing an increased digital divide. This study specifically looks at the case of Pakistan. The country's digital inequalities are increasing in terms of the public's access and their use of the Internet and ICT devices (such as mobile phones and computers). Therefore, drawing on the framework of digital divide, this study aims is to explore the diverse challenges that underpin digital divide in Pakistan, and the policy-related issues that affect wide-ranging digitalization in the country. To achieve this aim, this study uses qualitative methods of document review and in-depth interviews and offers thematic analysis of data. This study reveals that contextual factors, including urban rural divide, gender disparity, income and educational inequalities, religious and cultural barriers, all together underpin Pakistan's existing digital divide. This study further unpacks policy related challenges, including: a lack of policy evaluation and refinement; a lack of focused research; and inappropriate allocations of funds at federal, national and sectoral levels that affect wide-ranging digitalization in the country.", "Addresses": "[Jamil, Sadia] Khalifa Univ Sci & Technol, Dept Humanities & Social Sci, Abu Dhabi, U Arab Emirates; [Jamil, Sadia] Khalifa Univ, R Bldg,Main Campus,Al Saada St, Abu Dhabi 127788, U Arab Emirates", "Affiliations": "Khalifa University of Science & Technology; Khalifa University of Science & Technology", "Reprint Addresses": "Jamil, S (corresponding author), Khalifa Univ Sci & Technol, Dept Humanities & Social Sci, Abu Dhabi, U Arab Emirates.;Jamil, S (corresponding author), Khalifa Univ, R Bldg,Main Campus,Al Saada St, Abu Dhabi 127788, U Arab Emirates.", "Email Addresses": "Sadia.jamil@ymail.com", "Researcher Ids": "Jamil, Sadia/AAO-6265-2020", "ORCIDs": "Jamil, Sadia/0000-0003-0524-7355", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 75.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 36.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 37.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 18.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 94.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

For any country, sustainable economic growth is essential for a steadfast and well-balanced development of the entire country. One of the important factors supporting sustainable economic growth is the telecommunications technology and innovation, considering their role and functions as a modern-day indispensable infrastructure. It provides an opportunity for economic development compatible with the safeguard of the environment. Therefore, this study examines whether and to what extent telecommunications technology and innovation have helped improve the economic growth of developed and developing countries. We also aim to investigate the non-linear or kink effect in the relationship between the variables of telecommunications technology and innovation and economic growth. This study analyzes the impacts of telecommunications technology and innovation on economic growth at two different levels. First, we investigate the impact on individual countries which are distinct from one another regarding the level of economic development and the physical structure. Besides, the relationship between telecommunications development and the economic growth of a country may not be linear in the structure which necessitates our use of the kink regression model to capture and explain it. Second, this relationship is later investigated at the group level of countries. We divide the countries into two groups, developing and developed, based on the level of economic development and telecommunications technology. Empirically, we find that (Adak, 2015): there exists the kink effect on the relationship between telecommunications development and the economic growth in both developed and developing countries (Agnew & Romeo, 1981), the impacts of some related variables differ in magnitude depending on their levels and kink points, and (Alshubiri et al., 2019) the telecommunications technology and innovation give a relatively more massive impact on the economic growth of developing countries compared to developed countries.", "Addresses": "[Maneejuk, Paravee; Yamaka, Woraphon] Chiang Mai Univ, Fac Econ, Ctr Excellence Econometr, Chiang Mai 50200, Thailand", "Affiliations": "Chiang Mai University", "Reprint Addresses": "Yamaka, W (corresponding author), Chiang Mai Univ, Fac Econ, Ctr Excellence Econometr, Chiang Mai 50200, Thailand.", "Email Addresses": "mpravee@gmail.com; woraphon.econ@gmail.com", "Researcher Ids": "Yamaka, Woraphon/J-2812-2019; García, Francisco/AAJ-5004-2021", "ORCIDs": "Yamaka, Woraphon/0000-0002-0787-1437;", "Funding Orgs": "Centre of Excellence in Econometrics, Chiang Mai University", "Funding Name Preferred": "Centre of Excellence in Econometrics, Chiang Mai University", "Funding Text": "The authors are grateful to the Centre of Excellence in Econometrics, Chiang Mai University, for financial support.

In a context of industry lobbying of governments to promote 5G, the paper attempts to bring clarity to just what are the critical issues, specifically for an industrial policy to deal with this novel but complex technology. Planning for 5G is a series of complicated choices as there are issues at the levels of creating ecosystems to support it, unproven business models, with claims for applications which may not be financially viable, yet, plus confusion over choices of radio spectrum, and selection of equipment suppliers, even potential issues over public health, as well as the real level of industrial and consumer demand beyond the hype. The emphasis here is on the importance of making balanced strategic choices, by identifying the basic issues, in a `realpolitik' fashion - including why embrace 5G at all. The paper develops its insights from lessons learnt in the introduction of the previous mobile generation, LTE, also from policy studies on small cells and on designing auctions for 5G networks, as well as various 5G-focused publications from governments, regulatory authorities, mobile industry associations and global suppliers over the past six years (2015-2020).

Since these smart home services were introduced, they have been expected to grow rapidly. However, contrary to optimistic expectations for future market growth, the smart home market has appeared to hit a roadblock and remains at an early market stage. This study attempts to identify the possible barriers that consumers perceive when they are introduced to smart home services. Based on the resistance theory and perceived risk model, we investigate the relationship between perceived risk and resistance to smart home services, using technological uncertainty and service intangibility as the antecedents of perceived risk.

This was expected to enhance the performance of the mobile telecommunications industry in the accession countries and in turn to consolidate the highly fragmented European mobile telecoms market to finally reach the single market goal. However, the significant differences between mobile telecommunication performances from one country to another in the enlarged European area raise the issue of how optimal and durable the EU-level reforms have been. We use dynamic quantile regression methods to estimate the effects of mobile telecommunication reforms on the providers' performance in the EU enlargement context. This approach allows uncovering potential asymmetric effects of telecom reforms policy by letting the parameters of regressions vary across the conditional distribution of the sector's performance indicators. Using annual data from on 32 European countries from 1993 to 2011, we document asymmetrical responses to the reforms depending on the conditioning quantile at which they are calculated. Our results show that the effects of the generic and imposed European reforms are notably beneficial and larger for players in developed European countries characterized initially by real and higher degree of the reforms implementation. Accordingly, the success and durability of European reforms, especially in the new CEE member states, which often fail to comply with the pace of the reforms' adoption of industrialized European countries, is not guaranteed when countries specifications are not sufficiently taken into account. A final appealing result regarding the regress of the reform-performance relationship in the mobile markets after enlargement even for western countries attract attention on revising the Europe's current approach to telecoms regulation.", "Addresses": "[Karamti, Chiraz] Sfax Univ, Higher Inst Business Adm ISAAS, Route Aeroport Km 4,BP 1013, Sfax, Tunisia", "Affiliations": "Universite de Sfax", "Reprint Addresses": "Karamti, C (corresponding author), Sfax Univ, Higher Inst Business Adm ISAAS, Route Aeroport Km 4,BP 1013, Sfax, Tunisia.", "Email Addresses": "karamti.chiraz@gmail.com", "Researcher Ids": ", Chiraz/AAF-7354-2019; Karamti, Chiraz/IZD-8352-2023", "ORCIDs": "Karamti, Chiraz/0000-0002-3425-1807", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 114.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 3.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 3.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 0.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 6.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "London", "Publisher Address": "125 London Wall, London, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

Nevertheless, their contribution to broadband development has varied significantly over time. In the late 1990s, both local and national utilities in the European Union (EU) engaged in the provision of broadband networks, but only few of them managed to establish themselves as major broadband providers. More recently, new projects involving national utilities have been announced in several EU countries, opening new scenarios for utilities' contribution to Next Generation Access (NGA) development. This paper identifies and explores the factors affecting the entry and the success of utilities in the EU broadband market, through the comparison of four case studies from four EU countries (Germany, Italy, Sweden and the UK). The evolution of utility involvement in the EU broadband markets is assessed against the interaction of market, technology and policy factors, focusing on the impact of policy and regulatory measures. As a result, this paper provides fruitful insights into the relevance and effectiveness of public interventions in broadband markets. Across the four case studies, public support and public ownership emerged as the main drivers for the involvement of utilities in EU broadband markets, with regulatory measures and economies of scope exerting a limited and decreasing influence. However, the contribution of utilities has varied significantly across the cases studied, reflecting the different approaches taken at national and local level to support broadband development, in spite of the common regulatory framework.", "Addresses": "[Gerli, Paolo; Whalley, Jason] Northumbria Univ, Newcastle Business Sch, Newcastle Upon Tyne, Tyne & Wear, England; [Van der Wee, Marlies; Verbrugge, Sofie] Univ Ghent, IMEC, Ghent, Belgium; [Whalley, Jason] TELECOM Ecole Management, Inst Mines & Telecoms, Evry, France", "Affiliations": "Northumbria University; Newcastle University - UK; IMEC; Ghent University", "Reprint Addresses": "Gerli, P (corresponding author), Northumbria Univ, Newcastle Business Sch, Newcastle Upon Tyne, Tyne & Wear, England.", "Email Addresses": "paolo.gerli@northumbria.ac.uk", "Researcher Ids": "Gerli, Paolo/AAX-4298-2021; Verbrugge, Sofie/GQY-4760-2022", "ORCIDs": "Gerli, Paolo/0000-0003-4290-2136", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 120.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 8.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 8.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 1.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 17.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

Despite the fact that these plans were a small fraction of all the plans mobile phone firms offered, they were recently banned by the antitrust authority because of their potential anticompetitive effects.", "Addresses": "[Agostini, Claudio A.; Willington, Manuel] Univ Adolfo Ibanez, Sch Govt, Santiago, Region Metropol, Chile; [Lazcano, Raul] SUBTEL, Santiago, Region Metropol, Chile; [Saavedra, Eduardo] Univ Alberto Hurtado, ILADES, Santiago, Region Metropol, Chile", "Affiliations": "Universidad Adolfo Ibanez; Universidad Alberto Hurtado", "Reprint Addresses": "Willington, M (corresponding author), Univ Adolfo Ibanez, Sch Govt, Santiago, Region Metropol, Chile.", "Email Addresses": "claudio.agostini@uai.cl; manuel.willington@uai.cl; raul.lazcano@subtel.cl; saavedra@uahurtado.cl", "Researcher Ids": "Willington, Manuel/ABD-8214-2020; Agostini, Claudio A./HLG-7336-2023; Saavedra, Eduardo/IQS-4264-2023; Willington, Manuel/H-4035-2018", "ORCIDs": "Willington, Manuel/0000-0002-2803-6641; Agostini, Claudio A./0000-0002-3916-1501; Saavedra, Eduardo/0000-0002-2842-2526; Willington, Manuel/0000-0002-2803-6641", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 25.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 3.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 3.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 0.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 9.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

In particular, we investigate how public employees reconcile job-related and private uses of social media in the workplace. To answer this question, in-depth interviews were conducted both with employees and employers. Our key findings reveal that social media are increasingly playing a central role in how public institutions function, and they are used to coordinate various activities (e.g., meetings and sharing information). Although social media are often feared for their potential to distract employees from work, in our study private uses of social media were seen as compatible with work in most institutions.

One of the interesting characteristics of the Chinese market, for both academicians and practitioners, is that, although m-payment evolved from the convergence of payment and telecommunication industries (traditionally dominated by state-owned enterprises in China), it was private, third party payment companies that developed m-payment platforms, which gained a competitive edge over state-owned enterprises. While standardization, regulation and policy play an important role in stimulating the Chinese m-payment market, these factors alone are not sufficient to establish a sustainable two-sided market and generate a critical mass of merchants and end-users. Although merchants play a crucial role in the m-payment ecosystem, there is a lack of insight into merchant behavior, and their interaction with other actors in the m-payment ecosystem. In this study, we propose a framework for the analyses of the m-payment ecosystem. Starting from a set of propositions, we conducted in-depth interviews to analyze the multifaceted nature of the Chinese m-payment market. We identified the connection between the adoption process and the business ecosystem configurations. The proposed framework can be used as a basis for future studies of complex business ecosystems.

The method uses all available information on cluster markets without oversimplifying market data. The results of analyses show that the Korean Internet portals can be seen as one market even though the third ranked player in the Korean Internet portal service market, Nate, is more akin to a specialty service provider, not a player competing in the cluster market squarely with Naver and Daum.

It is often of interest to evaluate the impact of area-specific covariates on the ICT level of the area. This paper develops a methodology based on structural equations models (SEMs) that allows not only the ability to estimate the level of the latent trait in each of the areas (building an ICT index) but also to assess the variation of this index in time, as well as its association with the area-specific covariates. The methodology is illustrated using the ICT annual survey data collected in the Spanish region of Catalonia for the years 2008-2011. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd.

The impact of market opening on infrastructure investments is a critical ingredient for regulatory reviews, but the literature findings on this subject are quite mixed. The paper employs various methods to find out whether pro-entry regulation and competition had any significant effect. As a first investigation, we seek unknown breakpoints in countries' investment series. Market opening and unbundling obligations are found to be temporally associated with investment breaks only in some countries, and both upward and downward shifts are detected. In order to understand causes behind cross-country heterogeneity, a micro-econometric model of incumbent's investments is estimated. Neither unbundling obligations nor competition intensity, alone, have a significant effect, but they spur incumbent's investments in combination. Overall, our results support the view that competition does not depress investments at firm and country levels. Conditionally on their ability to foster competition, unbundling obligations play a positive role. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd.

One conclusion is that the prevailing theories and practices are only adequate if the policy challenge can be reasonably approximated as a static or steady-state problem but they may have serious shortcomings if this is not possible. The article proceeds with a review and critical examination of two approaches that could augment or possibly replace the traditional approach under conditions of dynamic competition the theory of platform markets and systems approaches. Both frameworks model aspects of competition in interconnected systems in more detail and offer novel insights to inform communications policy in an era of continuous change. Nonetheless, important theoretical and implementation gaps remain that will require additional efforts by researchers and practitioners. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd.

However, the increasing attention devoted to public e-services only partially captures the extreme variety of aspects and implications of the diffusion of information and communication technologies at all levels of public administrations. The paper aims to develop a meta-analysis of the literature on the delivery, diffusion, adoption and impact of public e-services and examines differences in methodologies, approaches and key indicators across five service categories: e-government, e-education, e-health, Infomobility and e-procurement We examined 751 articles appeared in 2000-2010 in the top international academic journals listed in the SSCI-ISI, as classified in the following fields: Communication, Economics, Education, Environmental Studies, Geography, Health Policy and Services, Information Science and Library Science, Law, Management, Planning and Development, Public Administration, Transportation and Urban Studies. We highlight a significant heterogeneity in scientific production across service categories, indicators used, and affiliation of authors. We also show an increasing diffusion of quantitative methods applied to different research fields which still appears to be constrained by data limitations. The overall picture emerging from the analysis is one characterized by largely unexplored domains as well as scarcely analyzed issues both across and within individual service categories. Thus many research opportunities seem to emerge and need to be exploited from different disciplinary perspectives in this field of analysis.

This paper initially reviews the related literature and shows that: (i) an unbundling policy that boosts entry by alternative operators promotes service-based competition but provides operators with disincentives to invest in network upgrade; (ii) there is no consensus about the optimal regulatory policy that promotes competition and encourages investments in NGA networks; and (iii) the reviewed research articles are not consistent with the current regulatory framework in the European NGA market in terms of both the evolution of the regulatory goals over time and the recommended regulatory settings. This paper aims to propose a novel approach in order to effectively meet the current regulatory goals using the recommended settings. It is shown that the proposed approach, which is based on the basic principles governing a Credit Default Swap (CDS), provides an effective migration path towards facilities-based competition over NGA networks.

This paper, instead, aims to explain the diffusion of mobile telephony, taking the multiple-subscription phenomenon into consideration. For this purpose, time-series sampling-based penetration rate data are used as the proxy and simultaneous non-linear equations are applied to fundamental diffusion models, i.e. Gomperts, logistic and Bass models to model the diffusion pattern of each type of adopters, i.e. adopters with single subscriptions and one with multiple subscriptions. Taking the Swedish market as the case, the result shows that each type of adopters has a different diffusion pattern as a result of different saturation levels and delay factor for diffusion growth. Based on the generated diffusion curves, the remaining mobile telephony non-adopters in the Swedish population and the fraction of multiple subscribers and its growth trend can be estimated and relevant business and policy implications can be discussed.

Examples are drawn from several identity mechanisms used by existing applications and general design patterns for implementing accountability are discussed, with particular emphasis on designing identity investment-privilege trade-offs, conditional anonymity schemes, and aggregated, identity management systems, as well as the role of scoped identities and linked identities in promoting online accountability.

This exponential growth might be hindered by a scarcity of suitable radio spectrum, a necessary but limited natural resource required for all wireless communications. Spectrum scarcity does not only slow down data growth, but may also disrupt existing communications. Cognitive radio may provide a solution to these issues, but although the concept seems promising, few products making use of CR have been brought to the market. This is due to significant uncertainties surrounding the appropriate economic scenario for CR, the regulatory framework and the technology enablers needed for such CR scenario. As business, regulatory and technical constraints are largely co-determined by each other, this paper proposes to align them, paving the road for the implementation of specific economic scenarios with appropriate regulation. First, from the business perspective, a taxonomy of possible economic scenarios for CR is proposed. Second, for each scenario a number of regulatory requirements - based on a European context - and characteristics are given. In doing so, it is argued that the economic scenarios are inherently distinct so that CR regulation should be customized for the type of scenario envisaged. Third, from the technology perspective, this article reviews the possible CR enablers, showing that spectrum sensing, CPC and geolocation database all have their strengths and weaknesses, and receive varying support from business and regulators. Based on the analysis it can be concluded that, although the introduction of CR does not seem problematic for the unlicensed scenario and the flexible operator scenario, more complex measures are required to enable CR to contribute to the implementation of spectrum pool and spectrum market scenarios. It can also be concluded that, out of the three proposed alternatives, the geolocation database is the most likely candidate to be used for CR purposes. However, although this database is a clear favorite for applications within the TV White Spaces, spectrum sensing should not be discarded as a potential CR enabler for highly sensitive applications in high-density radio environments.

Socio-economic determinants of demand for telecom services are estimated for fixed and mobile phones in the framework of a Logit model and using data from a small-household sample survey in India. Estimation results show a significant negative impact of price and a positive impact of income variables; distinguish the importance of social caste, education level, nature of occupation, age of household head and family size between fixed and mobiles phones and offer evidence for substitutability of mobile phones for fixed phones. These results add to the empirical knowledge of socio-economic determinants of telecom demand and have implications for selective design of policies towards promotion of higher demand and attainment of higher economic growth by fixed and mobile services in India and other developing countries.

Additionally, it conducts a direct comparison between Vietnam and Thailand, shedding light on their relative standings. The primary contribution of this paper lies in its devised approach for measuring the digital economy. This methodology generates meaningful estimations of the digital economy's size and drivers within a specific country. Moreover, these estimated results are suitable for cross-country comparisons. Concurrently, applying this approach to analyze Vietnam and comparing it with Thailand reveals valuable insights. Firstly, Vietnam's digital economy, amounting to US$17,458 and comprising 7.9% of GDP in 2018, exhibited consistent expansion during the 2012-2018 period. Secondly, the ICT sector, particularly foreign-invested ICT hardware manufacturing, contributes roughly 50% to Vietnam's digital economy, while contributions from backward linkages and digital transformation each account for 20-30%. Thirdly, the non-ICT sectors' contribution to the digital economy is quantifiable through three avenues: purchasing digital products and services, supplying the ICT sector, and generating value-added from within-sector digital transformation. Lastly, compared to Thailand, Vietnam lags in key digital economy metrics. Notably, the Thailand/Vietnam ratio for value-added in 2018 was 3.9 for the total digital economy, 3.2 for the ICT sector, 3.1 for contributions from backward linkages, and 6.4 for non-ICT sector digital transformation, while the ratio for GDP stood at 2.1. This insight underscores that while investing in digital infrastructure, promoting internet adoption, and attracting FDI to ICT hardware manufacturing are essential, they alone are insufficient for the rapid progress needed in advancing Vietnam's digital economy.", "Addresses": "[Vu, Khuong] Natl Univ Singapore, Singapore, Singapore; [Nguyen, Trung] RMIT Viet Nam, Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam", "Affiliations": "National University of Singapore", "Reprint Addresses": "Vu, K (corresponding author), Natl Univ Singapore, Singapore, Singapore.", "Email Addresses": "sppkmv@nus.edu.sg; trung.nguyen@rmit.edu.vn", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "Nguyen, Trung Quang/0000-0002-1092-7809", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 21.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 0.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 0.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 7.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 7.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "London", "Publisher Address": "125 London Wall, London, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

However, a better understanding of the issues and constituencies to receive government support to date may help digital equity activists more strategically lobby for new digital divide policies in the future. To do this, we take a macro-level approach to Van Dijk's resources and appropriation theory and examine how the framing of all digital divide-related U.S. Congressional legislation introduced between 1990 and 2020 may be associated with a bill's passage or the political party of its sponsor. Content analysis revealed that bills highlighting privacy literacy programs, educational outcomes, and corporate transparency were more likely to be passed into legislation. Bills sponsored by Republicans were 422% more likely of being passed into legislation. Certain frames were also associated with partisan sponsorship: Republican -sponsored bills were more often framed around deregulation, privacy programs, corporate transparency, and rural access, whereas Democrat-sponsored bills were more often framed around digital skills such as digital literacy and educational outcomes.

They offer one-stop-shop licensing efficiencies, reduce transaction costs, and increase the predictability of the licensing environment for the benefit of innovation diffusion. However, pools failed to take off for previous cellular standards. This article analyses both retrospectively the reasons for such failures and prospectively what makes the 5G environment more conductive to pool formation and licensing. Avanci, a patent pool for licensing cellular standards in the Internet of Things (IoT), is a significant development but has limited licensing coverage so far. The article then recommends five policy principles to facilitate pool licensing in the IoT. They include recognising that only enough upstream SEP owners need to join the 5G pool to create a market signalling effect. Some vertically integrated SEP owners may remain outsiders, and some bilateral licensing may co-exist without damaging the pool's success. To encourage upstream SEP owners to join the pool, they should be allowed to set 'high enough' royalty rates and divide pools' royalties among members under value proportionality rules. 5G pools must also be flexible and adopt different licensing programs that consider the specificities of each IoT market.

The focus is on a sample of 140 countries around the globe for the period 2000-2019. The methodology involves the: (i) Fixed Effects estimator to control for individual heterogeneity, (ii) Driscoll and Kraay estimator to control for cross-section dependence between panels, (iii) the Mean Group estimator to take into account the averages between panel groups, (iv) the system GMM to correct for unobserved heterogeneity and simultaneity bias and (v) the instrumental variable Fixed Effects Tobit to take in to account the limited range in our dependent variable. The results show that ICT has a positive and significant effect on sustainable development. Whereas overall net effects are positive, the findings are contingent on the choice of the ICT measurement, the geographical location of the economy and the income group category.

Furthermore, it incorporates the views and experiences of technologists working first-hand in standard-making, as they are often disregarded in political-scientific literature. Through the analytical lens of cognitivist regime theory, this article argues that the stronger China and Chinese stakeholders grow economically and politically, the more they become involved in the existing Internet governance regime complex, increasing their influence in the existing institutional arrangements without necessarily acting for changing their norms, rules, and principles.

Based on seasonally-adjusted quarterly time-series data for the period between 1999 and 2016 available from the Korea Statistical Information Service, a Vector Error Correction model was applied for the analysis. The results revealed that ICT investment and GDP growth affected bi-directionally except for the short-run case in which only ICT investment affected GDP growth. The results explain that ICT investment plays an important role in the economic growth of South Korea in the long term; at the same time, investment size in the ICT industry increases as the economy grows. Without controlling any other factors, we found GDP increases by 0.4% when ICT investment increases by 1%. However, in the short term, only ICT leads to GDP growth. Therefore, the recent stagnation in ICT investment experienced in South Korea could negatively affect the economic growth of Korea in the short run, and hence, in the long-run, if it should become prolonged. The ICT investment strategy revealed from this study is especially useful to policy-makers who plan the economic growth in South Korea and other ICT-advanced countries because promoting ICT utilization across all sectors requires putting legal and policy mechanisms in place.", "Addresses": "[Sawng, Yeong-wha] Konkuk Univ, William F Miller Sch Management Technol, Dept Management Technol, 120 Neungdong Ro, Seoul 05029, South Korea; [Kim, Pang-ryong] Daejeon Univ, Dept Business Consulting, 62 Daehak Ro, Daejeon 34520, South Korea; [Park, JiYoung] SUNY Buffalo, Dept Urban & Reg Planning, 228 Hayes Hall, Buffalo, NY 14214 USA; [Park, JiYoung] Seoul Natl Univ, 1 Gwanak Ro, Seoul 08826, South Korea", "Affiliations": "Konkuk University; Daejeon University; State University of New York (SUNY) System; State University of New York (SUNY) Buffalo; Seoul National University (SNU)", "Reprint Addresses": "Park, J (corresponding author), SUNY Buffalo, Dept Urban & Reg Planning, 228 Hayes Hall, Buffalo, NY 14214 USA.", "Email Addresses": "jp292@buffalo.edu", "Researcher Ids": "Sawng, Yeong-Wha/IAL-9778-2023; Park, Jiyoung/AAG-2436-2020", "ORCIDs": "Park, Jiyoung/0000-0002-7579-5034; Sawng, Yeong-Wha/0000-0002-6152-2625", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 85.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 25.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 25.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 2.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 13.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

Our historical analysis shows that during the industry's formative years, firms had different strategies for developing African markets in a relatively lax regulatory environment, with some local firms leading the way in generating innovations for adapting to inherent market and institutional challenges as well as in expanding their operations to multiple countries across Africa. While many firms exited over time, some, including a few multinationals, reoriented their strategy from targeting high-income consumers to serving the masses, and the industry benefited from the widespread diffusion of innovations, the establishment of allied industries, and low prices of handsets. However, as the industry matured, competition became mostly price-based, leading to consolidation. Authorities responded by increasing monitoring activities, taking a more hands-on regulatory approach. This study demonstrates that both policy and strategy coevolved in a path-dependent way as the industry gradually transitioned from the introductory phase into the growth and maturity phases. It also provides new insight into the development of the African mobile telecommunications industry, and extends and bridges the literatures on telecommunications policy and strategy, which evolved in insolation.", "Addresses": "[Jahanbakht, Mohammad] Salam Sate Univ, Bertolon Sch Business, Salem, MA 01970 USA; [Mostafa, Romel] Western Univ, Ivey Business Sch, London, ON N6G 0N1, Canada", "Affiliations": "Western University (University of Western Ontario)", "Reprint Addresses": "Jahanbakht, M (corresponding author), Salam Sate Univ, Bertolon Sch Business, Salem, MA 01970 USA.", "Email Addresses": "mjahanbakht@salemstate.edu; rmostafa@ivey.uwo.ca", "Researcher Ids": "Jahanbakht, Mohammad/J-5513-2017", "ORCIDs": "Jahanbakht, Mohammad/0000-0001-8285-2335; Mostafa, Romel/0000-0003-1531-1146", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 85.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 3.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 4.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 0.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 8.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

With the help of microdata provided from surveys conducted by a Japanese public broadcaster, the crucial findings of our analysis are that viewing public broadcasting has a considerable monetary value, as well as an endogenous property. We also found a detrimental association between public broadcast viewing and life satisfaction (a subjective well-being indicator), which diminishes among adolescents and early middle-aged people.

However, despite the significant progress in terms of digitization of consumption,' the region faces still some important development challenges of its digital economy. This paper attempts to identify what the future challenges are for Latin America and the Caribbean, which raises a number of research and policy questions: (1) How close is consumer digitization in Latin America and the Caribbean to the levels observed in industrialized countries? (2) How should Latin America and the Caribbean address the broadband and Internet demand gap of the non-adopting population? (3) Are current digitization trends homogeneous across countries in the region or do we observe a divergence across countries, indicating some advanced nations approaching industrialized country performance, while others lagging? (4) If infrastructure and consumer adoption of certain digital products and services is evolving at a fast pace, what are the upcoming digitization challenges? (5) If broadband is a critical lever for the development of digitization, what are the policies to be implemented by Latin American and Caribbean governments to maximize investment for deployment of last generation technologies and promote adoption? To answer these questions the authors have developed, with support of CAF Latin American Development Bank, a comprehensive digitization index. This new index is used to assess the development of Latin America and the Caribbean region vis-a-vis industrialized countries. On this basis, an econometric model is developed to measure the economic development impact of digitization. Zeroing in on broadband as a critical lever for the development of the digital economy, a set of infrastructure investment and adoption goals is defined for different countries in the region. Finally, public policies are recommended to achieving the established goals.", "Addresses": "[Katz, Raul] Columbia Business Sch, Columbia Inst Teleinformat, New York, NY 10027 USA; [Callorda, Fernando] Univ San Andres, Econ Dept, Buenos Aires, DF, Argentina", "Affiliations": "Columbia University; Universidad de San Andres Argentina", "Reprint Addresses": "Katz, R (corresponding author), Columbia Business Sch, Columbia Inst Teleinformat, New York, NY 10027 USA.", "Email Addresses": "raul.katz@teleadvs.com; f.callorda@teleadvs.com", "Researcher Ids": "Katz, Raul/HJH-8316-2023", "ORCIDs": "Katz, Raul/0000-0001-7729-7891", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 21.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 26.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 28.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 3.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 40.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

Policy-makers are charged with deciding how that public investment will take place. One approach is via Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs), where public and private actors collaborate in UFB (Ultrafast Fibre Broadband) investment, construction and operation. However, the body of analysis of PPPs in NGA networks to guide policy-makers is scant. By using the concept of regulatory commitment, the paper compares the experiences gained in a hold-up situation in PPPs in other infrastructures (e.g. roading) with the UFB context. A case study of New Zealand's Ultrafast Fibre Broadband Initiative is used to draw new insights for government purchasers and regulatory agencies. In comparing the different forms of PPPs, the paper shows that UFB PPPs reverse the typical direction of financing and ownership observed in roading PPPs. Financing and asset ownership are separated in UFB PPPs, increasing the potential for misalignment of incentives and the likelihood that the public party can use its legislative powers to alter regulatory settings after the PPP contract is signed, and thereby hold up the private party once existing network assets are sunk. Whilst the government instigating the PPP may not be inclined to act opportunistically, a successive government facing different political priorities does not face the same incentives. To the extent that the private party can anticipate this risk, it should structure the initial agreement to ensure that the public party is penalised if such an event occurs (i.e. an automatic right to favourable renegotiation or payment of compensation). Such terms will discourage opportunism, so that the project benefits from time consistent alignment of incentives and objectives.", "Addresses": "[Howell, Bronwyn] Victoria Univ Wellington, Sch Managemen4, Wellington, New Zealand; [Sadowski, Bert] Eindhoven Univ Technol, Dept Ind Engn & Innovat Sci, Eindhoven, Netherlands", "Affiliations": "Victoria University Wellington; Eindhoven University of Technology", "Reprint Addresses": "Howell, B (corresponding author), POB 600, Wellington, New Zealand.", "Email Addresses": "bronwyn.howell@vuw.ac.nz", "Researcher Ids": "", "ORCIDs": "Sadowski, Bert/0000-0003-1340-2319", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 50.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 9.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 10.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 0.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 25.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

Historically, entrepreneurial activities in applications and services were a main driver of innovation and stimulated complementary advances in networking. With the increasing heterogeneity of services, this virtuous cycle of complementary innovation is changing. Building on evolutionary theories of innovation and the notion of general-purpose technologies, we examine how these changes affect Internet-based innovation. In this framework, we analyze the effects of network neutrality policies on innovation dynamics. Our analysis reveals that network neutrality regulations as currently implemented may impede and delay innovation experiments that require a differentiated quality of service arrangements. To overcome such undesirable effects on innovation, we propose an approach that allows safeguarding important goals of network neutrality while permitting a differentiation of network services in support of next generation innovation.", "Addresses": "[Bauer, Johannes M.] Michigan State Univ, Dept Media & Informat, E Lansing, MI 48824 USA; [Knieps, Guenter] Univ Freiburg, Chair Network Econ Competit Econ & Transport Sci, Freiburg, Germany", "Affiliations": "Michigan State University; University of Freiburg", "Reprint Addresses": "Bauer, JM (corresponding author), Michigan State Univ, Dept Media & Informat, E Lansing, MI 48824 USA.", "Email Addresses": "bauerj@msu.edu; guenter.knieps@vwl.uni-freiburg.de", "Researcher Ids": "Bauer, Johannes M./JCT-6751-2023", "ORCIDs": "", "Funding Orgs": "", "Funding Name Preferred": "", "Funding Text": "", "Cited References": "", "Cited Reference Count": 82.0, "Times Cited, WoS Core": 19.0, "Times Cited, All Databases": 21.0, "180 Day Usage Count": 0.0, "Since 2013 Usage Count": 20.0, "Publisher": "ELSEVIER SCI LTD", "Publisher City": "OXFORD", "Publisher Address": "THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND", "ISSN": "0308-5961", "eISSN": "1879-3258", "ISBN": "", "Journal Abbreviation": "TELECOMMUN POLICY", "Journal ISO Abbreviation": "Telecommun.

It is posited that the silver-bullet for reducing this gap lies in increasing digital literacies within a society in order integrate segments who may be marginalized into the inclusive mainstream. In enabling greater and wider participation of digital citizens in their countries' socio-economic activities, the opportunities of a sustainable economy arise. This article is a study of ICT policies, applications and the resulting transformations in five mature economies committed to the vision of knowledge-based development with high levels of digital participation among their citizens. Specifically, using a multi-dimensional scorecard derived from prior work, we conduct a grounded theory investigation of how the five societies have applied digital literacies in knowledge-intensive public services such as education, healthcare and e-government, to derive best practices as well as lessons learned.

While customer satisfaction of most goods and services has been well researched, little research seems to exist on satisfaction and loyalty with respect to advanced mobile services, such as smartphones. This study applied a customer satisfaction index (CSI) model to the smart mobile sector in order to derive a smart-service CSI (SCSI). The SCSI model and its hypotheses were then tested using partial least square analysis and index calculation. The findings showed that the perceived value and customer satisfaction are key variables mediating the relationship between quality and customer loyalty. The proposed model demonstrated strong explanatory power, with satisfactory reliability and validity. The SCSI model establishes a foundation for future smart service categories on the basis of providing a powerful tool for quality assessment. The results of this study provide useful insights for the telecom industry and policymakers, for the forging of effective policies and competitive strategies. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd.

The Structure-Conduct-Performance paradigm provides the theoretical grounding. Structural equations modelling was applied to determine the statistically significant factors and components in the path model. The data set was derived from public sources combined with a questionnaire completed by the national regulatory authorities. The data collection took place in the period May 2012-December 2012. In this contribution we focus on fixed broadband. The Broadband Performance Index resulting from the analysis consists of: the cumulative broadband uptake (across all technology platforms); the average monthly revenues per user; and the percentage of broadband households with a data rate above 10 Mbit/s on the down link. The most important factor representing firm conduct and the main driver of broadband performance is the level of investment, which is in turn driven by GDP/capita. The factor best representing market structure is a modified Herfindal Hirschman Index (HHI*) capturing the platform-based competition (PSTN, CATV, FttH, and the market shares of access-based competitors). The HHI* is in turn driven by the wholesale price for unbundling and by the degree of urbanization. The resulting performance index values range from 73 to 121, with the EU average set at 100.

The research is conducted through a techno-economic assessment in an infrastructure competition scenario. A discounted cash flow method is used to determine the total cost of the deployment for the operator and the minimum average revenue per user (ARPU) which would be required to recover the investment in both approaches: passive network sharing and non-sharing. On the other hand, the three demand scenarios that were considered, depending on the envisaged Spanish broadband penetration by 2020, attempt to calculate what take-up and ARPU are likely in the targeted rural areas. As mobile operators' coverage obligation stipulates covering 90% of the municipalities with less than 5000 inhabitants, extreme rural areas, which correspond to the final 0.7% of the population, are excluded from this assessment. The results indicate that, given the socio-economic characteristics of the assessed area, demand is very sensitive to price and that the existence of other broadband products forces the operator to lower the ARPU. As a result, only very high take-up ratios would make the deployment feasible. The research shows that passive network sharing does not constitute a solution; nevertheless, a single network deployment could solve the unfeasibility problem in rural areas. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd.

For its classic case, copyright can only increase welfare in a dynamic setting, when the static welfare losses are offset by dynamic welfare gains: monopolistic rents give producers an incentive to produce more, offering consumers more innovation in return. In the digital age, many economists have remained skeptical about the welfare benefits of strong copyright policies, notwithstanding the lack of indicators of the actual effects of such policies, especially in terms of the production of new cultural goods. While accepting this conclusion, the paper argues that, in order to construct a more realistic landscape of indicators to inform copyright policy makers, the economic case of copyright needs to be broadened to include not only the direct producers of the work in its material form, but also the producers of the meaning and value of the work (the overall perception of its quality). Once both symbolic and material production are theoretically and empirically incorporated in the economic case of copyright policy, a new set of hypothesis and indicators can be constructed and tested in relation to changes in the telecommunication system.

In the more recent era of transition to fibre in Europe, regulatory priorities have shifted towards promoting roll-out. Two broad approaches are identified; one continues the focus on a programme of infrastructure competition in taking fibre to the home; another, relying on fibre to the cabinet, reverses it with bitstream used as the access product. It is soon to evaluate the two approaches. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd.

In broadband networks, the use of open access policy usually refers to the infrastructure parts, which are considered a bottleneck. Many regulators have generally focused open access policy on fixed broadband networks, especially digital subscriber line (DSL) technology, in the last decade. Local loop unbundling (LW) regulation is one of the main strategies for the regulator to open access to an incumbent's bottleneck network in order to soften its monopoly power and encourage competition in the DSL broadband market. The OECD countries have different strategies regarding unbundling local loop and infrastructure competition, as the characteristics and infrastructure networks of countries vary. There are currently more choices of next generation network (NGN) technologies to develop. While local loop unbundling may not be applied fully to NGN development (the cost is not sunk, more technologies are available to implement, incentive of investment by operator), it can indicate benefits and drawbacks of open access policy in the past decade that can be adapted to NGN. The empirical results of this study show that during 2002-2008, LLU regulation was one of the strategies used to increase broadband adoption in countries that had difficulty encouraging infrastructure competition. Unbundling regulation can therefore be implemented carefully and differently in each country that has inefficiency that is harmful to consumers in its market from a monopoly incumbent. Infrastructure competition, on the other hand, is introduced as another strategy to increase broadband adoption. The empirical results of this study indicate that infrastructure competition can be used as a strategy when there are already enough infrastructures in the area or country.

However, relatively little research has been undertaken into explaining its structure. With this in mind, the objective of this paper is twofold: first, to map the structure of the mobile telecommunications industry and, second, to use this mapping exercise to highlight the data collection issues that are frequently encountered. Through outlining one particular approach to data collection, the paper argues that researchers need to be careful when constructing datasets and wary when relying on those provided by others. By mapping the structure of the mobile industry, the paper highlights a series of key issues in data collection and trends in operator and market structure. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

Estimating the value of radio spectrum, however, creates significant challenges not found in valuing some other assets. Spectrum is somewhat of a special case; market transactions provide a basis for valuation, but almost always require significant adjustments. Some adjustments are best made using discounted cash flow (DCF) analysis or econometric evidence. A review of past work on spectrum valuations suggests that focusing on a single valuation technique leaves critical information about spectrum value unused. This paper presents the theoretical underpinnings of spectrum value, and describes how these principles of spectrum value manifest in various empirical applications. Similar to most scarce resources, the value of spectrum is determined by the value generated by its deployment. This concept is typically understood as economic rent. In the case of radio spectrum, economic rent can be thought of as having two components: a sea level spectrum value driven by the general profitability of spectrum based services, and band or license specific adjustments to spectrum value due to band or license specific characteristics. Clarity about these different sources of value can inform how to apply traditional valuation techniques in a hybrid approach to spectrum valuation. The key is to capture the useful information from disparate and incomplete valuation methodologies and then combine them in a meaningful and structured manner. We then demonstrate these proposed valuation techniques empirically. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd.

This study shows that there are regional disparities in the adoption of network services in Turkey, the attractiveness of the different networks varies for consumers between different regions. The results show that local network effects are significant for consumer choice. This finding means that consumers are more likely to be affected by the choices of other people within their local area than by the overall size of a network. Furthermore, local network effects also outweigh macro network effects at least in Turkey. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.", "Addresses": "[Karacuka, Mehmet; Catik, A.

The private commons model introduced by FCC in 2004 allows spectrum licensees to provide secondary access to spectrum on an opportunistic basis while retaining ownership. Since wireless communication systems are typically overprovisioned in order to deliver service-level guarantees to (primary) users under short-term load variations, this model bears significant potential by facilitating utilization of temporal and spatial surplus of capacity through serving secondary users at possibly different service levels. A potential barrier to adoption of the private commons model is the uncertainty about secondary price-demand relationship which is difficult to predict in an emerging market: A selected price for secondary access may be profitable for some values of secondary demand but not for others, leading to a profound uncertainty about ultimate benefit of spectrum sharing. This paper aims to eliminate such an uncertainty by devising concrete guidelines and methods for profitability. The paper establishes that the price of secondary spectrum access can be chosen to guarantee profitability for any value of secondary demand: It is shown that for both the coordinated and uncoordinated commons regimes a profitable price should exceed a threshold value, which can be calculated. Hence profitability of private commons is insensitive to the demand function. This observation has two complementary interpretations: From a business perspective it provides a constructive approach to profitability: and from a regulatory perspective it provides reassurance that private commons is a healthy model. The paper also leverages the insensitivity property and outlines a technique to further enhance revenue via iterative spectrum offerings. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

Beyond the technical and engineering aspects are economic questions, and the points of view of various stakeholders and participants on such network policy issues stem from differing economic philosophies. This paper postulates and describes four competing economic doctrines: conservative neoclassical, liberal neoclassical, neo-Keynesian, and innovation economics. It explains how each doctrine leads to different views of appropriate network policy and explores the influence of doctrine on four controversial network policy issues: broadband competition, net neutrality, copyright, and privacy. Understanding this doctrine based source of differences over network policy should help policy makers better understand core issues and make more informed policy decisions. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd.
