“…They find that infrastructure-based (interplatform) competition has a positive impact on broadband penetration, whereas service-based (intraplatform) competition is an impediment to penetration. Lee et al (2011) analyze determinants of broadband diffusion for the years from 2000 to 2008. With respect to unbundling obligations, the authors find a positive and significant effect on the speed of diffusion.…”

Although fibre-deployment of next generation access (NGA) broadband networks is considered as a decisive development for any information-based society, investment activities and especially the adoption of fiber-based broadband services take place only very gradually in most countries. This work identifies the most important determinants of NGA broadband adoption, using most recent panel data from the European Union member states (EU27) for the years from 2004 to 2012.The results show that stricter previous broadband access regulation has a negative impact on NGA adoption, while competitive pressure from mobile networks affects NGA adoption in a non-linear manner. It appears that the approach of strict cost-based access regulation embedded in the EU regulatory framework is at odds with the ambitious targets outlined in the European Commission´s "Digital Agenda". Finally, we find strong evidence for network effects underlying the NGA adoption process.[1]

“…Serentschy (2014) also documented the low level of European investment and the relatively poor performance of the industry. Lee, et al (2011) find that local loop unbundling may initially increase the diffusion of fixed broadband service, but they recognize that the negative consequences on longer-term investment.…”

“…For example, Srinuan et al (2012) considers price as one of the strongest factors of mobile Internet adoption in Thailand. Even in the context of the OECD countries, Lee et al (2011) suggest income as a factor of mobile broadband adoption. It can be said that low income is still a major obstacle to mobile Internet adoption and a drastic reduction in mobile services tariffs appear less probable in the developing countries.…”

The relation between Internet and development rests on the preconditions of minimum access, quality, affordability and many more. Presenting the picture of access, quality, and affordability, we raise doubts that Nepali internet infrastructure in its present form has any contribution to economic development. The Nepali policy circle also has felt the necessity of proliferating Internet access and use. But we argue major targets of the Nepali ICT policies are detached from the reality and hence failure prone. The formulation of a robust ICT policy cannot bypass the analyses of actualities of the demand side. There is a dearth of detailed statistics of ICT access, use, and affordability in Nepal. We thus recommend the government should conduct a census of ICT access, use, and affordability that would help the formulation of more grounded policies.
