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 c 410 0$aStudies in global competition. 606 $aCommunication and traffic$zJapan 606 $aBroadband communication systems$zJapan 615 0$aCommunication and traffic 615 0$aBroadband communication systems 676 $a384.3/30952 676 $a384.330952 700 $aIda$b Takanori$f1965-$01586767 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910831890303321 996 $aBroadband economics$94129965 997 $aUNINA
