While it may seem that such networks and their applications are not a realistic scenario for developing countries, it would be short-sighted and economically dangerous to ignore the emerging trends. The pace of introduction of next-generation networks in industrialized countries is rapid and the developing world will not be able to stand aside.  The risks of falling behind are great and in any country there will be elements of business and society who wish to forge ahead. Policymakers and network architects need to be prepared.  Media companies and broadcasters, in particular, must be alert to the new developments, as should be medical and educational institutions. The availability of advanced high-speed business application tools in a country will affect its participation in international transactions and its economic growth. This volume features contributions from industry leaders, policymakers and scholars, representing a variety of perspectives, including technology and infrastructure management, economic development, marketing, education and health.  The authors collectively discuss how broadband deployment as a platform with sufficient speed for video may be encouraged by public policy and regulation and how investment in broadband for this and related purposes can improve the quality of life and experience in Sub Saharan Africa in media and data, while being a financeable, commercially sound business. 410 0$aThe Economics of Information, Communication, and Entertainment, The Impacts of Digital Technology in the 21st Century,$x1868-0453 606 $aIndustrial management 606 $aDevelopment economics 606 $aMedia Management$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/513020 606 $aDevelopment Economics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W42000 615 0$aIndustrial management. 615 0$aDevelopment economics. 615 14$aMedia Management. 615 24$aDevelopment Economics. 676 $a621.382 702 $aO'Neill$b Judith$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aNoam$b Eli M$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aGerbarg$b Darcy$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910298164203321 996 $aBroadband as a Video Platform$92499744 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01577nac# 22002771i 450 001 UON00067261 005 20231205102335.296 100 $a20020107f |0itac50 ba 102 $aFR 105 $a|||| ||||| 110 $ab|||||||||| 200 1 $aIslamiques$fCollection dirigée par Dominique et Janine Sourdel, François Déroche 463 1$1001UON00486239$12001 $aˆL'‰Italie et le Maghreb au Moyen Age$econflits et echanges du 7. au 15. siecle$fGeorges Jehel$1210 $aParis$cPresses universitaires de France$d2001$1215 $aVI, 228 p.$c[1] c. geogr.$d22 cm 463 1$1001UON00083916$12001 $aLitteratures berberes$edes voix, des lettres$fPaulette Galand-Pernet$1210 $aParis$cPresses Universitaires de France$dc1998$1215 $avi, 280 p.$d22 cm 463 1$1001UON00082950$12001 $aˆLa ‰mer et les musulmans d'occident au Moyen Age, VIIIe-XIIIe siècle$fChristophe Picard$1210 $a[Paris]$cPresses Universitaires de France$dc1997$1215 $avii, 253 p.$d22 cm 463 1$1001UON00078825$12001 $aˆLe ‰phénomène mamelouk dans l'Orient islamique$fDavid Ayalon$1210 $aParis$cPresses Universitaire de France$dc1996$1215 $avi, 168 p.$d22 cm 620 $aFR$dParis$3UONL002984 702 1$aDéroche$bFrançois$3UONV043168 702 1$aSOURDEL$bDominique$3UONV010131 702 1$aSOURDEL-THOMINE$bJanine$3UONV000358 712 $aPresses Universitaires de France$3UONV245970$4650 790 1$aSOURDEL, Janine$zSOURDEL-THOMINE, Janine$3UONV043032 801 $aIT$bSOL$c20251017$gRICA 912 $aUON00067261 996 $aIslamiques$91694938 997 $aUNIOR
