Abstract
The scepticism about the emergence of real needs for broadband capacity in Western Europe has given way to the acknowledgement that such needs exist and have to be addressed today. Advanced technologies are considered the most appropriate means of addressing their pressing needs. It is business users and their data needs, not residential users and video services, that will drive and cost-justify the early deployment of advanced broadband services. Network technology's progress seems to be accelerating rapidly to deliver the price/performance advances that are the prime driver for broadband utilisation. The trend towards more liberalisation is gaining much momentum in Europe, but in the absence of a coherent EC policy many of the opportunities associated with advanced telecom services will go unrealised. A set of recommendations is addressed.
