Paper Abstract:
|
Next-generation networks are being deployed across the globe. However, existing broadband infrastructure may hinder future investments in these networks in mature broadband markets. While broadband providers are faced by demand uncertainty, policymakers have to deal with uncertainty at both the supply and demand side of fiber broadband markets. Discussing the results of a large-scale user survey, this paper proposes different scenarios for dealing with the demand and investment uncertainty in Western Europe. |
