“…Unlike Australia or New Zealand, the U.S. does not have a formal, national broadband network. Instead, the U.S. largely relies on private firms to invest, develop, and roll out broadband infrastructure (Ali 2021;Landgraf 2020;Mack and Grubesic 2014;Skiti 2020). There is also growing interest and activity in developing municipal and/or multistakeholder systems for communitiesespecially for locales with limited or poorly performing private broadband providers (Koch 2018;Whitacre and Gallardo 2020;Whitacre and Mills 2016).…”

The recent global pandemic renewed the importance of telecommunication infrastructure, as many COVID responses (e.g., working from home, home-schooling, e-commerce) were challenged by the inequity of access to broadband services and its underlying network. This paper examines the geospatial footprint of the National Broadband Network (NBN) in relation to the demographics of Australia’s cities and regions. Through data made available by the NBN, which describes the technologies used in its multi-technology mix platform, and published demographic data available via the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS), we explore the equity of access to broadband technologies across the nation. The results show a persistent urban-regional divide in the NBN. The paper also offers a brief assessment of the complex and contradictory ways policy responses attempt to mitigate the digital divide, including updates to the national infrastructure project plans.

“…Jaringan broadband memberikan efek positif penciptaan usaha (Hasbi, 2020), berpengaruh positif pada peningkatan produktivitas di daerahdaerah yang kurang berkembang di Brazil (Jung & López-Bazo, 2020). Namun, regulasi broadband di kota memiliki efek non-trivial pada persaingan (Landgraf, 2020).…”

Local Competition, Multimarket Contact, and Product Quality: Evidence From Internet Service Provision

I investigate the effect of competition on quality in the internet service provision industry: I examine both local competition within markets and multimarket contact among firms across markets. This industry offers an ideal setting, as quality is both objective and measurable. I use data from speedtest.net from 2008 to 2014 to estimate a reduced-form model of the effects of local competition and multimarket contact on realized consumer download speeds. I find that increased multimarket contact leads to decreased download speeds, which is consistent with the mutual forbearance hypothesis. I also find that duopolies lead to faster download speeds than do monopolies, but that further increases in the number of competitors decrease speeds.
