“…Previous work includes studies of service availability, broadband policy effectiveness, and the relation between competition, market structure, and quality. On geographic service availability, Gadiraju et al (2018) study the deployment of broadband in the United States during the period 2014-2016. They use Form 477 census block data from the FCC to describe service availability and speed, and how they are related to demographic characteristics measured at the census block group level.…”

Does entry and exit of competitors from broadband services markets have large effects on the quality of broadband plans offered to consumers? Answers to this question inform design of subsidies to improved broadband in underserved areas, and antitrust policy. The authors investigate quality effects of entry (or exit) in 2014 legacy (cable and digital subscriber line) duopoly residential markets. Entry or exit by legacy technology providers had large impacts on 2018 service quality, though impacts diminished rapidly with continued entry. Entry by a single fiber Internet service provider (ISP) had no impact on available quality; entry by more fiber ISPs had modest but statistically significant effects.

Concern over climate change is growing in the healthcare space, and telemedicine has been rapidly expanding since the start of the COVID19 pandemic. Understanding the various sources of environmental emissions from clinic visits—both virtual and in-person—will help create a more sustainable healthcare system. This study uses a Life Cycle Assessment with retrospective clinical data from Stanford Health Care (SHC) in 2019–2021 to determine the environmental emissions associated with in-person and virtual clinic visits. SHC saw 13% increase in clinic visits, but due to the rise in telemedicine services, the Greenhouse Gas emissions (GHGs) from these visits decreased 36% between 2019 and 2021. Telemedicine (phone and video appointments) helped SHC avoid approximately 17,000 metric tons of GHGs in 2021. Some departments, such as psychiatry and cancer achieved greater GHG reductions, as they were able to perform more virtual visits. Telemedicine is an important component for the reduction of GHGs in healthcare systems; however, telemedicine cannot replace every clinic visit and proper triaging and tracking systems should be in place to avoid duplicative care.
