Broadband is a key enabler of the information society, increasing
productivity and competitiveness across all sectors of the economy.
Unlike traditional n- rowband connections, broadband provides high
speed, always-on connections to the Internet and supports
innovative content and services. Direct consumer welfare gains from
mass-market adoption of broadband across the EU could easily reach
50 billion euros or more per annum. This is quite apart from the
more profound societal shifts that ubiquitous broadband could
bring. It may allow the individual to distribute content and ideas
independent of traditional media and bring together communities of
interest without regard to borders. Public policy for broadband
will have a big impact on whether and how quickly these bene?ts are
realised. Getting policy right could bring large bene?ts for
consumers, ?rms and the economy at large; getting policy wrong
risks s- ?ing both the rollout of broadband and new innovative
services, and thus the realisation of the EU's e-Europe vision. In
this book, we focus on the residential market for broadband access
in EU countries, analysing the current and prospective level of
competition and dr- ing implications for public policy. A key aim
is to understand better the relative importance of facilities-based
and access-based provision in fostering com- tition and promoting
take-up of broadband services.
