Wireless technologies and services in emerging markets have been central to enabling the communications explosion over the last decade that has, in many ways, revolutionized the lives and the economies of the people living there. The nature of the markets and the competitive dynamics in these regions are undergoing some delicate but very important shifts. This white paper analyzes the leading opportunities...
From an Internet service provider's prospective, the increasing popularity of mobile devices and broadband Internet has created new business challenges: more diverse competitions and more volatile customer behaviors. Therefore, to accurately respond to the changing customer demands, using big data to analyze existing and potential customers has become a trend among businesses in designing marketing...
Access to information and communication technologies (ICTs) is becoming a necessity not only for communication, but for commerce, and for obtaining information about healthcare, employment, and education. Unfortunately, the global digital divide has deepened to include limits on access to mobile broadband services. This paper uses an information ethics (IE) perspective, based the work of Floridi,...
BH mobile Internet market is mostly presented by 3G data technology. Due to limitations regarding capacity, performances, speed and QoS, new technologies such as IMT-Advanced (4G) have been developed. This article presents an overview and statistics of mobile data usage in different technologies as well as representation of different kind of applications and devices globally and by region underling...
Advances in information and communication technologies (ICTs) have created a global environment in which citizens from more developed countries have greater access to mobile broadband Internet services. The research question posed in this study is: Do national policy initiatives, regulatory measures, or governance practices increase a nation's mobile broadband diffusion? There is little research that...
Deployment of Broadband Internet is currently one of the most important global issues. Plans for developing agendas are very ambitious but implementation is not as expected. In this paper authors analyse broadband growth and its limitation factors, delays and gaps. Using logistic growth function, the growth limit, delay and gap for Serbia is calculated in reference to the average of EU countries....
The paper analyzes the current situation in the Croatian broadband telecommunications market as well as the technical and economic aspects of the wireline and wireless broadband access networks deployment in Croatian rural areas, encouraged by the new Croatian Broadband Development Strategy. An overview of the techno-economic planning process for broadband implementation in several types of Croatian...
This paper finds that network externalities play a minimal role in the choice of internet access technology. Potential adopters of mobile laptop internet view broadband technology as a black box, the technological details of which do not matter. The study uses qualitative techniques to explore how the speed of technological obsolescence, market share dominance, and the black boxing of technology influence...
In this paper, digital tourism integrated service system has been studied and implemented. Integrated service support platform is built based on broadband networks, on the basis of achieving the management information subsystem and application service subsystem. Management information subsystem provides the main function of information management and video surveillance in scenic area for the tourism...
Over past decade mobile communications witnessed phenomenal diffusion around globe including developing countries, but internet diffusion and usage remains low among later. By comparing cases of mature mobile and lagging Internet markets in Pakistan, this paper tries to dig out why institutions and instruments for competition are unable to perform similarly for disparate technologies in developing...
The objective of this work is to provide the main elements to support the fact that Mexico has not increased its levels of competitiveness and it neither has equaled to other countries in the region. It is required to implement comprehensive reforms in sectors such as education, infrastructure, healthcare, information technologies and telecommunications, among others. As a result of this analysis,...
This paper examines access to ICTs, particularly mobile voice and broadband in isolated countries with small populations. The primary focus is on developing island states, with some additional analysis of conditions in developing landlocked states. Because of their isolation, people in these countries are highly dependent on telecommunications for contact with citizens overseas, finding markets for...
The invention of a practical telegraph in the late 1830s and the telephone in 1876 brought humanity into the era of electrical telecommunications. After over 100 years of triumph, public telegraphy left the communications market. But telex took over and evolved into massively popular forms such as SMS and email, while telephony remains the most widely used means of communication in the world today...
