1. Public funding for broadband networks is needed to promote economic and social development since individual private investors may not invest due to market failures and equity concerns.
2. State aid for broadband must promote competition, avoid creating local monopolies, and accelerate rollout of next generation access (NGA) networks to underserved areas within 3 years.
3. Public authorities can promote broadband deployment through non-aid administrative measures or by financing open access networks if commercial operators do not have adequate plans.

Broadband Ecosystem Development and the Facets of a Digital EconomyBenjz Sevilla
Voice communications evolved to data quite rapidly in recent years that several deployment mechanisms and investment platforms have been antiquated. Weighing the benefits of Universal Service Fund (USF), it is likened that broadband ecosystem development be anchored on establishing a digital economy. Leveraging infostructures as key enabler for growth, the USF framework is put on spotlight as to whether strategies need to be reviewed, updated or shelved. Thus, the information and communications technology (ICT) landscape provides an executive view on the challenges of employing USF and how enabling telecommunications policies magnify economic opportunities of a nation in focus.

Emerging Markets and Next-Gen BroadbandYankee Group
Assumptions about Anywhere Network® deployment opportunities and constraints often break down when looking at emerging markets. Developed market constraints might not exist and costs might be much lower, but market conditions and prices are also very different. Is fiber to the home (FTTH) a marginal phenomenon for emerging markets, or could it be an interesting solution to help many of these markets leapfrog the copper era?
In this webinar, Yankee Group analysts Benoît Felten and Wally Swain detail existing FTTx deployments in emerging markets, examine opportunities for existing or new players to enter the next-generation access market and explore implications for technology vendors.
