“…With regard to our research question referring to differences in wireline and wireless infrastructure and services (RQ 2), however, there is no conclusive evidence as only very few studies employ data related to mobile broadband networks. Concerning our third research question (RQ 3), we also find no clear evidence that broadband availability and adoption produce systematically different economic outcomes although research by Whitacre et al (2014) indicates that certain differential impacts may exist. Moreover, it is not necessarily the fact of using broadband that matters but the type of application that is we have reviewed studies investigating the causal effects on productivity and various measures of firm performance, economic growth, employment and regional development.…”

“…Cava-Ferreruela and Alabau-Munoz, 2006;Akerman et al, 2015) generally indicates that the relationship between broadband availability and broadband adoption is positive, broadband availability only serves as a pre-condition for broadband adoption. In this regard Whitacre et al (2014) suggest that the influence of broadband availability and actual broadband adoption can differ considerably. Moreover, the FCC data which is used in most U.S. studies often measures broadband availability as the number of broadband providers in a ZIP code.…”

THE ECONOMIC IMPACTS OF TELECOMMUNICATIONS NETWORKS AND BROADBAND INTERNET: A SURVEY AbstractWe provide a structured overview of the quantitative literature on the economic impacts of telecommunications networks and broadband internet. Differentiating between wireline and wireless technologies as well as broadband availability and broadband adoption, respectively, we review studies investigating the impacts on economic growth, employment and regional development as well as productivity and firm performance. Eventually, the survey does not only allow the identification of main research gaps but also provides useful information for policy makers on the significance and importance of communication networks for social welfare.JEL Class: D24; J23; J24; L96; O33; O47

“…Akan tetapi, perlu disadari juga bahwa masyarakat perdesaan juga berhak mendapatkan akses terhadap informasi seperti halnya di daerah perkotaan. Adopsi broadband dalam tingkat yang tinggi di daerah perdesaan memberikan nilai positif (dan berpotensi secara kausal) terhadap pertumbuhan pendapatan antara tahun 2001 dan 2010 dan berdampak negatif terhadap pertumbuhan pengangguran (Brian Whitacre, Roberto Gallardo, 2014). Kondisi prasarana pita lebar pada tahun 2013 adalah persentase untuk pitalebar akses tetap terdiri dari 15% rumah tangga (1 Mbps), 30% gedung (100 Mbps) dan 5% populasi.…”

The price of broadband quality: tracking the changing valuation of service characteristics

This paper investigates how retail broadband prices, choice and quality are changing over time. Using a dataset containing daily observations of plans offered in Ireland from 2007 to 2013, this paper applies hedonic modelling techniques to observe the changing pricing of service characteristics. We augment our results by restricting the analysis to large operators and also by weighting by operator market share for a subset of our data (2010-2013). Although we find that average nominal prices remain static throughout our sample period, quality of service has risen dramatically over time, particularly with respect to download speed. Some characteristics of broadband plans exhibit broadly stable valuations over time, but the elasticity of price with respect to advertised download speed and the premium on bundled plans declined during the sample period. In addition, the retail price premium enjoyed by the incumbent operator fell significantly since 2007.JEL classifications: L11, L96
