Abstract
While the potential economic and social benefits of broadband internet use are significant, adoption levels vary greatly among countries around the world. Many governments, particularly those in Southeast Asia, have adopted aggressive policies to deploy broadband networks and to encourage the use of applications. Governments are motivated to promote broadband adoption in order to realize both economic and social benefits. This paper argues that the generally higher levels of broadband adoption rates witnessed in many Asian economies, is attributable in part to the aggressive policies pursued by these governments. There is some evidence to suggest that these governmental policies have been successful in achieving their stated goals.
