Book excerpt: This paper provides an empirical assessment of the broadband policy of the European Union. In particular, we assess in more detail the effects of mandatory local loop unbundling on several market dimensions. We find that it has benefited broadband adoption through significant quality improvements. However, we also find that other regulatory features outside the scope of the new regulatory framework hinder broadband development in a signifcant manner.

Book Synopsis An Empirical Assessment of Competitive Entry in European Broadband Markets by : Bruno Soria
Download or read book An Empirical Assessment of Competitive Entry in European Broadband Markets written by Bruno Soria and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: European broadband markets have developed over the last decade under an unbundling regulation that assumed that they were national in scope and that straight infrastructure-based entry was not feasible, so that the only way to reach full competition was for services-based providers to gradually climb a regulated “ladder of investment”. In this paper, we analyze the actual performance of both infrastructure and services-based entrants in Europe. We have found that there are two very different geographic markets within each country. In the largest area, full competition has been established: infrastructure-based entrants have been successful, despite regulatory handicaps, while services-based entrants only in very specific cases.
Book Synopsis The Empirical Case Against Asymmetric Regulation of Broadband Internet Access by : J. Gregory Sidak
Download or read book The Empirical Case Against Asymmetric Regulation of Broadband Internet Access written by J. Gregory Sidak and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States has asymmetric regulation of the provision of broadband Internet access service. A cable television system operator is not regulated in its sale of cable modem service. In contrast, an incumbent local exchange carrier (ILEC) that offers digital subscriber line (DSL) service faces price regulation as well as the obligation to offer competitors the use of its broadband network on a wholesale (or, unbundled) basis so that they may offer, in the retail market, DSL services that compete with the ILEC's own retail offering to consumers. The social costs of asymmetric regulation are by now familiar. Such regulation leads not to deregulation, but to an enduring managed competition far more complex to administer than traditional regulation of a monopoly service provider ever was. The alternative to asymmetric regulation is either symmetric regulation or symmetric freedom from regulation. Assuming that the latter alternative is preferred, what actual steps would be taken to abolish asymmetric regulation of ILEC provision of broadband Internet access? The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) could remove asymmetric regulation that the agency itself previously imposed. The FCC could declare that broadband Internet access service is not a telecommunications service, subject to numerous regulations applicable to ILECs, but rather an information service, which is free of such regulations. Amid considerable controversy, the FCC invited public comment on such a reclassification in February 2002. Or the FCC could use its power under section 10 of the Communications Act to forbear from regulating ILEC provision of broadband Internet access. A third, and more incremental, approach would be for the FCC to declare ILECs nondominant in the provision of advanced services, such as broadband Internet access. Non-dominant carriers are exempt from price-cap or rate-of-return regulation, as well as the obligation to file tariffs and to establish the reasonableness of those tariffs through the submission of cost data. Much, if not all, of the economic analysis required to determine whether a carrier is nondominant also would be relevant to the FCC's decision whether to forbear from regulating a particular service or whether to reclassify the service in question as unregulated. Although the FCC did not receive its authority under section 10 to forbear from regulation until 1996, the agency has evaluated petitions for nondominance for a longer time and consequently has distilled a body of law on the subject. In this Article, we evaluate the case against asymmetric regulation of broadband Internet access through the lens of the FCC's approach to deciding petitions for non-dominance. We examine the economic evidence relevant to whether ILECs are non-dominant in the provision of mass-market broadband services, the most familiar of which is DSL service. We use a nested-logit discrete-choice model to produce econometric estimates of the own-price elasticity of demand for DSL service and the cross-price elasticity of demand for cable modem service with respect to DSL service. Our findings suggest that demand for DSL service is price-elastic, that DSL and cable modems are in the same product market, and that DSL providers lack market power. The FCC would advance the public interest by ruling that the ILECs are non-dominant in the mass-market broadband services market.
Book Synopsis Assessing Broadband Policy Options by : George S. Ford
Download or read book Assessing Broadband Policy Options written by George S. Ford and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. Congress is contemplating spending tens of billions of dollars on policy interventions to increase the deployment of broadband networks with the objective of increasing broadband adoption. Economics has much to say about allocating resources among varied policy options, with the over-riding prescription that subsidy dollars should be spent where the payoff is highest. Though the determination of the “best” mixture of funding across policy options is a complex issue, much headway may be made by quantifying two empirical relationships: (1) the relationship between adoption and network availability; and (2) the relationship between adoption and broadband service price. Other things equal, the data suggest that a home newly-passed by a broadband network has a very high probability of adopting broadband, not unlike the average adoption rate (about 85%). As such, using federal funds to expand broadband availability to unserved areas will have a potent effect on adoption. The data are much less encouraging about expanding adoption through pricing policies. According to the data, consumers generally have a rather weak response of adoption to price reductions (a 10% price drop increases adoption by only 5%). As such, the data suggest that price-based policies--whether directly-regulated price reductions or price reductions putatively induced from the insertion of a subsidized competitor - will do little to expand adoption.

Book Synopsis An Empirical Study of Unbundling Regulation on Broadband Adoption in OECD Countries by : Chatchai Kongaut

This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Broadband adoption is considered one of the drivers of both economic and social development. Local loop unbundling (LLU) regulation is one of the main strategies to open access to an incumbent's bottleneck network in order to soften its monopoly power and encourage competition in the digital subscriber line (DSL) broadband market. Many studies, however, suggest that LLU regulation can slow down new infrastructure investment. Fibre optic technology is also increasingly becoming an option for the next generation network (NGN). This development is turning out to be the new challenge for regulators, incumbents and new entrants. With the similarities to DSL broadband and the move towards technology neutrality, regulators may also be able to adjust their future next generation access (NGA) regulation by learning from the strengths and weaknesses of LLU regulation. This paper therefore aims to analyse the impacts of unbundling policy on various aspects of broadband adoption that can be presented as consumer welfare. The possible adaptation to NGA regulation is also discussed in this paper. The empirical results of this study show that LLU regulation is one of the strategies to increase broadband adoption, particularly in the countries that have difficulty encouraging infrastructure competition. Nevertheless, several studies suggest that unbundling regulation reduces the incumbent's incentive to invest. With the dramatic growth in technologies, the main policy to increase broadband penetration should be competition between them, while unbundling regulation can be implemented carefully and differently in each country that has inefficiency that is harmful to consumers in its market from a monopoly incumbent. The decision to apply access regulation from DSL to fibre technology is therefore crucial to whether the regulator regulates the NGN market from the early stage of investment or waits for the NGN market to become more mature. Alternatively, the regulator can opt not to intervene in the market for a certain period of time, as access regulation can delay the growth in infrastructure investment. -- Local loop unbundling ; broadband adoption ; access regulation
Book Synopsis The Broadband Tribal Gap by : George S. Ford
Download or read book The Broadband Tribal Gap written by George S. Ford and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this BULLETIN, I study broadband deployment over the years 2014-2020 in Tribal and non-Tribal census tracts using the Federal Communications Commission's Form 477 data to quantify progress. This “Tribal Gap” is measured as the difference in average broadband availability between Tribal and non-Tribal census tracts. Unmatched and matched sample are used, and a sample of census tracts within 30 miles of a Tribal area are also analyzed with and without matching. In all cases, the gap between Tribal and non-Tribal census tracks has been getting closer to zero over time and by 2020 (the last year data are available) the Tribal Gap was near zero in all cases, especially when the deployment differences are conditioned on a few covariates. Indeed, the Tribal Gap is nearly fully explained by differences in demographic characteristics. These results are encouraging and suggests efforts to close the Tribal Gap are meeting with some success, though many factors that determine deployment largely are beyond regulatory remedy (e.g., population density).

Book Synopsis Beyond Broadband Access by : Richard D. Taylor
Download or read book Beyond Broadband Access written by Richard D. Taylor and published by Fordham Univ Press. This book was released on 2013-07-01 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After broadband access, what next? What role do metrics play in understanding “information societies”? And, more important, in shaping their policies? Beyond counting people with broadband access, how can economic and social metrics inform broadband policies, help evaluate their outcomes, and create useful models for achieving national goals? This timely volume not only examines the traditional questions about broadband, like availability and access, but also explores and evaluates new metrics more applicable to the evolving technologies of information access. Beyond Broadband Access brings together a stellar array of media policy scholars from a wide range of disciplines—economics, law, policy studies, computer science, information science, and communications studies. Importantly, it provides a well-rounded, international perspective on theoretical approaches to databased communications policymaking in the Americas, Europe, Asia, and Africa. Showcasing a diversity of approaches, this invaluable collection helps to meet myriad challenges to improving the foundations for communications policy development.

Book Synopsis Deliberative Democracy in Asia by : Baogang He
Download or read book Deliberative Democracy in Asia written by Baogang He and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-08-24 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Featuring cases from India, China, Nepal, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Mongolia and Malaysia, the authors demonstrate and compare the differing uses of public deliberation in Asia. Many countries in Asia have long traditions of public deliberation, in both democratic and undemocratic settings, some of which continue today. Yet in the face of pressures from complex governance, popular protests and democratization, certain deliberative practices – notably deliberative polling – have been ‘parachuted’ into the region without regard to historical or traditional practices of deliberation. And, the motivations differ. Some states have made use of public deliberation in order to contain dissent, while others have more emancipatory goals in mind. The contributors to this book take a comparative perspective on the emergence and evolution of deliberative practices in Asia, and their relationships with democracy. They analyse the main motivations for introducing public deliberation in different political regimes and the effectiveness of public deliberation in Asian countries for solving problems and improving governance. In doing so they evaluate whether deliberative democratic tools, can apply to all societies regardless of their political and cultural differences. Essential reading for students and scholars of Asian Politics, this book will also be of great use to all political scientists with an interest in deliberative democracy.
