This book was released on 2008 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation investigates the capacity required by an internet application in tandem with the network connection type (dial-up or broadband). An internet user's experience in accessing various types of applications with either high bandwidth or low bandwidth is examined in a consumer choice model of broadband adoption. A consumer implicitly values the time-saving benefits derived from a higher speed internet connection used to access a particular internet application, and compares those utility benefits to the higher price of high speed connection services in making the decision to shift to broadband or remain with a dial-up connection. We find that using broadband rather than dial-up to run bandwidth intensive applications presents considerable gains in the implicit value of time saved. Assuming that internet users are rational utility maximizing agents, a logit model is used to calculate the likelihood of broadband adoption as a function primarily of the nature/type of the internet applications ("elastic or inelastic"). While the empirical results are generally consistent with our hypothesis that consumers are more likely to subscribe to broadband if they regularly run applications that are bandwidth intensive, the results vary somewhat by model specification, and are potentially sensitive to controlling for endogeneity. Correcting for endogeneity remains the major challenge in extending this research. Research Question: What is the relationship between consumer valuation of the net benefits of using bandwidth intensive applications and the adoption of broadband internet? Hypothesis: The less a consumer requires bandwidth intensive applications; the lower is the likelihood of switching from a low level bandwidth internet service like dial-up to a high level bandwidth internet type like broadband. While this relationship may appear obvious, it has not been systematically investigated or measured, nor has its importance in affecting lags in broadband adoption been adequately appreciated.

Book excerpt: There is a policy debate at both state and federal levels over how to facilitate consumer adoption of the Internet and, particularly, broadband technology to access the Internet. The objective of this study is to offer empirical evidence directly relevant to this debate. In so doing, we examine the influence of availability, competition, and demographics on the adoption of broadband technology in the U.S. The focus of our study is on the effect of intermodal (cable modem v. DSL) competition on broadband penetration, relative to the effect of simple broadband availability. The econometric results indicate that after controlling for the demand and cost influences on adoption, intermodal competition drives increased penetration in a state. In fact, while total broadband penetration in a state increases with total broadband availability in the state, the effect of total availability disappears when intermodal competition is controlled for. It appears, then, that broadband availability in a state is driven by intermodal competition and the demand and cost factors, but not by raw availability of broadband services, given those other factors. The independent effect of direct, intermodal competition is statistically significant and of substantial magnitude.
Download or read book Management of Broadband Technology and Innovation written by Jyoti Choudrie and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-11-12 with total page 363 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When one considers broadband, the Internet immediately springs to mind. However, broadband is impacting society in many ways. For instance, broadband networks can be used to deliver healthcare or community related services to individuals who don't have computers, have distance as an issue to contend with, or don't use the internet. Broadband can support better management of scarce energy resources with the advent of smart grids, enables improved teleworking capacity and opens up a world of new entertainment possibilities. Yet scholarly examinations of broadband technology have so far examined adoption, usage, or diffusion but missed exploring the capacity of broadband networks to enable new applications, the management aspects of funding and developing broadband-enabled services, or the policy environment in which such networks are developed. This book explores a wide range of issues associated with the deployment and use of broadband including its impacts on individuals, organizations, and society, and offers a generalist understanding of the technical aspects of broadband. Management of Broadband Technology and Innovation offers insights on broadband from the perspectives of Information Systems, Management, Strategy, and Communications Policy scholars, drawing on research from these disciplines to inform diverse aspects of broadband deployment, policy, and use. Issues associated with a subject technical in nature, but now researched in many ways, are emphasised. This book explains various softer aspects of broadband deployment and use, focusing on the benefits of broadband rather than on details of the technology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Broadband adoption across countries has been studied by several scholars. Most of these studies analyze the different factors that affect the adoption of broadband. While these studies have provided insight on what factors may be important in the adoption process, there have been fewer efforts to analyze the entire landscape and paths involved in the adoption process. This paper uses data from 30 OECD countries, to understand the paths involved in the process of broadband adoption to help identify the role of government/industries in devising strategies for efficient future adoption of next generation technologies. Whereas the majority of other studies use more or less ad hoc empirical models, this paper makes an attempt to develop more explicit microeconomic foundations that explicitly take demand and supply factors into account. This framework enables us identify the different paths involved in the adoption process, their relative importance and their interactions. The study examines the interaction of different economic and technological factors and their effect on broadband adoption across countries from a demand and supply perspective. The goal was to use this approach to help make decisions about where the focus of public policy decisions aimed at promoting broadband needs to be. This study also attempts to look at demand and supply conditions (unobservable constructs) without the specification of equilibrium conditions. Two methodological approaches are used where one method (structural equation modeling) does not assume that the market is in equilibrium and the other (traditional econometric approach using two stage least squares) makes the assumption that the market is in equilibrium. The findings highlight that income and number of existing internet users were positively related with demand and adoption, whereas price was negatively related to demand and adoption of broadband. While most of the hypotheses on the demand side were supported, the supply side findings indicate that for higher broadband adoption to take place, investments in supply needs to complemented with encouragement of consumer demand. The study suggests that supply centric regulations need to be complemented with policies to encourage end-user adoption for effective penetration of the technology to take place. Another important finding of this study is that the regulatory environment is an important mediator on both the demand and supply side for broadband adoption. Both methodological approaches provide complementary perspectives. One simultaneously analyzes the effect of individual demand and supply side factors on adoption, whereas the other analyzes the paths involved in the process of adoption. The study is able to not only shed light on the importance of policy making, but it is also able to suggest where the policy focus should be if more effective national broadband adoption is desired.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Broadband access to the Internet is important for much of modern life. As the information society continues to pervade all aspects of our lives as consumers, students, citizens, and producers, broadband becomes ever more a necessity. Ever more of daily life is moving online, from keeping up with the news to doing homework for school to applying for jobs. As everything from entertainment to civic engagement migrates to the Internet, demand for broadband Internet access has grown apace. The result: broadband Internet access is one of the most rapidly adopted consumer technologies in history. Aiding speedy consumer adoption has been the robust competition among broadband providers.This report examines the great progress made in availability and adoption in the broadband market over the past few decades and shows how Californian residents and businesses have come to use broadband widely. The policy issues involved with continuing the tremendous strides already made will be discussed, along with recommendations for policy-makers.This report is a brief version of a longer study of the California broadband market, Pepperdine University School of Public Policy Working Paper #63.

Book excerpt: While broadband is available to a majority of Americans, barriers have kept some from subscribing and enjoying its benefits. In 2010, FCC published the National Broadband Plan, which noted that some demographic groups lagged behind others in adopting broadband and called on FCC and NTIA to take action to address these barriers. This book examines benefits of home broadband adoption; barriers to adoption and approaches to address them; and the extent to which FCC and NTIA have assessed efforts and set goals to address barriers. It also examines broadband performance information available to consumers and its limitations, if any; and FCC's actions to evaluate its efforts to provide consumers with broadband performance information.
