Abstract
This article sets out to explain the development of a European strategy for the introduction of mobile Internet, referred to in Europe as Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS). Taking into account recent research on the feasibility of reaching common European solutions, two analytical perspectives (bureaucratic politics and political economy) are applied to explain EU policy-making and intervention to support a high technology project in an internationalized market sector. The major argument is that while the European Commission supported mobile Internet to promote its institutional self-interests and expand its regulatory reach, its preferences were restricted by the need to mobilize those private-sector actors with the greatest political industrial influence who provide the greatest political support to the Commission.
