There is a tremendous amount of (simultaneous) entry and exit in the US broadband market. Most … provision, which argues against treating broadband as a homogenous service in theoretical or empirical work. The highest entry …

Abstract We provide a structured overview of the quantitative research on the economic impacts of broadband internet …. Differentiating between wireline and wireless technologies as well as broadband availability and broadband adoption, respectively, we …

The FCC is currently considering whether it should adopt a uniform rate for pole attachment services for broadband … convergence dictates that broadband providers should now pay a unified rate and that rate should be significantly lower than the …

In Portugal, the telecommunications incumbent offers broadband access tothe Inter- net, both through digital subscriber … line and cable modem. Inthis article, we estimate the impact on broadband access to the Internetof the structural … priceelasticities of demand and the marginal costs of broadband access to theInternet. Based on these estimates, we simulate the effect …
