In this book the author introduces the current status of broadband services in Japan and their recent development in competition policy. An econometric model is proposed and discussed to analyse access demand. The purpose of the analysis is to understand quantitively the current status of the rapidly developing Japanese broadband services while providing an academic and practical basis for conceiving prospective cStudies in global competition.Communication and trafficJapanBroadband communication systemsJapanCommunication and trafficBroadband communication systems384.3/30952384.330952Ida Takanori1965-1586767MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910831890303321Broadband economics4129965UNINA
