摘要：
The aim of this research study is to provide some insights into the effectiveness of different policy choices to promote broadband. This problem is addressed by examining them in the light of the results of an exhaustive cross-national empirical analysis that explores the factors influencing broadband supply, demand, and adoption. The results suggest that technological competition and the low cost of deploying infrastructures on the one hand and the predisposition to use new technologies on the other, appear to be the key drivers for broadband supply and demand, respectively. These results allow an inference that policies aimed at fostering these drivers seem to be the most effective. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
