Telecommunications Economics
Telecommunications Economics (COST Action IS0605)
The goal of Econ@Tel (COST Action IS0605) is to develop a strategic research, training network among key people/organizations in order to enhance Europe's competence in the field of telecommunications economics, to support related R&D-initiatives, and to provide guidelines, recommendations to European players (end-users, enterprises, operators, regulators, policy makers, content providers) for the provisioning of new converged broadband, wireless, content delivery networks to citizens and enterprises.
Econ@Tel addresses the development of research methodologies, tools from engineering, media, and business research. Regulatory issues helping or hindering the adoption of economically efficient services are identified.
In that respect the Telecommunication Economics Strands at the COST 298 Conference on "Participation in the Broadband Society" cover the following contributions:
- the analysis of the link between an un-bundling policy and entrant’s incentives to invest
- the discussion of various policy measures taking the Lisbon process as a point of departure
- the provisioning of a literature review of collective use of spectrum (CUS) by consolidating various perspectives and the result of the public consultation from the Radio Spectrum Policy Group (RSPG)
- the examination of comprehensive theoretical research on the digital divide and its impact in the information society
- the discussion of mobile operator's for a low-income population in case of Georgia
- the presentation of a description of the European information society development scenario using values reached by the member states in a set of indicators selected for measuring said progress
- the provisioning of an extensive study estimating the digital divide convergence based on a dataset regarding diffusion of broadband services over all European countries and for a long time period
