Abstract
The widespread availability and adoption of high-speed broadband Internet access by consumers is increasingly viewed in all developed nations not only as a key driver of information and communication technology (ICT) capabilities, but also of the overall prosperity and well being of the economy of a developed nation. Developed nations are seeking to promote rapid deployment of broadband, coupled with rapid adoption by consumers. Some countries, notably the United States, have sought to rely on competition among multiple broadband media to achieve broadband deployment. Since cable deployments tend to be limited in most European countries, the European approach has been heavily dependent on procompetitive regulation in order to achieve intramodal competition. In this paper, the author discussed the broadband adoption in Europe. It details the upsurge in broadband technology as well as the regulatory and policy issues.
