We consider a horizontally and vertically differentiated duopoly model in order to analyze both intra- and inter-platform competition in an always covered broadband access market (Copper-Copper, Copper-FTTH and FTTH-FTTH competitions). The model is purely static and does not address dynamic...

This paper investigates the impact of the copper access regulation on broadband adoption in each technology (xDSL on copper infrastructure, FTTx on fiber infrastructure and cable modem). We modelize adoption with a logistic function. Using a 15 European countries dataset we find a negative...
