“…Rennhoff and Routon (2016) estimated the demand for telephone services (landline and wireless) in the USA and found that the introduction of the new technology brings a consumer monthly surplus around $35.50. Oguz et al (2015) found evidence (as in other countries) of substitution between the digital subscriber line market and the mobile broadband market.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to propose a new methodology to assess the economic and social impacts of policies to promote mass access to the internet in fixed broadband. The authors apply the methodology to the Brazilian broadband market. Design/methodology/approach For this purpose, municipal information concerning the provision of EILD is used, and then a stylized model of definition of service penetration based on information regarding the price, the distribution of income and the number of households served is proposed. Findings The results indicate that cost reduction policies are more effective than measures to promote competition through the introduction of state-owned enterprises in the telecommunication market for broadband service. On the other hand, the results also indicate that the federal and state governments face a dilemma between broadband policy and tax policy. Originality/value This is a new and original methodology to model the broadband market demand, which is useful to assess the impact of regulation policies in the sector as well as structural changes in that market.

This paper examines the relationship between asymmetric digital subscriber line (broadband) and dial-up (narrowband) Internet subscribers in Nepal. While the number of broadband subscribers is increasing, the number of narrowband subscribers has been decreasing over the last couple of years. As expected, broadband subscribers ''Granger cause'' narrowband subscribers to decline. This suggests that digital subscriber lines are a superior good that is a substitute and replace dial-up services. This relationship should be stable in the short-run. The public sector incumbent Nepal Telecom provides both digital subscriber lines and dial-up access while commercial Internet Service Providers supply dial-up services. Hence, a large proportion of the revenue of the commercial providers is likely to be eroded compared to the incumbent. Given this context and to ensure that there is free and fair competition to support rapid growth in the Internet sector, the Government of Nepal needs to address important regulatory and policy issues related to this narrowband-broadband transition.Keywords Narrowband Á Broadband Á Internet Á Dial-up Á Asymmetric digital subscriber line Á Nepal JEL Classification L86 Á L96 Á O18 Á C32
