Research-annex-book project:
The Dynamics of Broadband Markets (3)
Methodology:
• First step:
• Longitudinal case studies
• Descriptive and exploratory; understanding
• Emerging patterns: Role of actors, technology,
institutions
• Second step:
• Industry structure, rules-of-the-game, strategic
behaviour
• Dynamics: innovation, competition, network upgrades/
modernization
• Shared goals, multiple trajectories, outcomes?

Inverse Infrastructures
Institutional friction
• Large technical centralized infras
• Competing
• Symbiotic
• Integrated or nested
• Policy gap, e.g.
• Ultra Wide Band, legislation of ‘ether frequencies’?
• Inverse infras, private networks or public?
