Fixed Broadband Take-Up in Europe

“…There is a negative relationship between the value of broadband penetration and the value of high-level scientific publications. This relationship can be better understood considering that the fact that there is a fast broadband [27] is not a unique determinant of the most advanced countries from the point of view of scientific research. It follows that investment in simple material infrastructures, however necessary it is alone, cannot support the dissemination of a scientific culture and professionalism capable of generating complex outputs such as high-level scientific publications [28].…”

“…The possibility for ICT workers to participate in the wide phenomenon of digitization essentially depends on the complex of training tools made available to Russian students and workers through the university system and through training within companies. Furthermore, it should also be considered that the presence of ICT specialists can be significantly associated with broadband penetration [21], fixed broadband [22], the price of broadband [23] ,egovernment [24], and the technologies used in production lines [25]. The article continues as follows: the second paragraph presents an analysis of the correlation matrix, the third paragraph contains an analysis of econometric models, the fourth paragraph refers to predictive analysis, the fifth paragraph analyzes the prediction with use of augmented data, the sixth paragraph concludes.…”

The following article estimates the value of ICT Specialists in Europe between 2016 and 2021 for 28 European countries. The data were analyzed using the following econometric techniques, namely: Panel Data with Fixed Effects, Panel Data with Random Effects, WLS and Pooled OLS. The results show that the value of ICT Specialists in Europe is positively associated with the following variables: "Desi Index", "SMEs with at least a basic level of digital intensity", "At least 100 Mbps fixed BB take-up" and negatively associated with the following variables: "4G Coverage","5G Coverage", "5G Readiness", "Fixed broadband coverage", "e-Government", "At least Basic Digital Skills", "Fixed broadband take-up", "Broadband price index", "Integration of Digital Technology". Subsequently, two European clusters were found by value of "ICTG Specialists" using the k-Means clustering algorithm optimized by using the Silhouette coefficient. Finally, eight different machine learning algorithms were compared to predict the value of "ICT Specialists" in Europe. The results show that the best prediction algorithm is ANN-Artificial Neural Network with an estimated growth value of 12.53%. Finally, "augmented data" were obtained through the use of the ANN-Artificial Neural Network, through which a new prediction was made which estimated a growing value of the estimated variable equal to 3.18%.
