New information and telecommunication technologies in the transport sector, often named 'Advanced Transport Telematics` (ATT), play a key role in the new European network economy, as they have the potential to offer new solutions to the emerging transport problems in Europe. However, the...

The positive correlation between the absolute price elasticity of telecommunications demand and the distance of the calling relation is often suggested and presented as an empirical regularity. In this paper we first present an overview of existing studies to buttress the distance dependence...

The paper provides an analysis of network externalities in the telecommunications sector and their effects on corporate and regional performance. It can essentially be regarded as part of the general theoretical reflection on the role of telecommunications in economic development, by emphasising...

Neural networks are becoming popular analysis tools in spatial research, as is witnessed by various applications in recent years. The performance of neural network analysis needs to be carefully judged, however, since the theoretical underpinning of neuro-computing is still weakly enveloped. In...
