<P>Economic progress in the digital knowledge society will be characterized by enormous structural change and the growth of digital services. This book focuses on the role of information and communication technologies for economic integration, networking and growth. It highlights technological and regulatory dynamics with respect to EU countries and the US and presents new policy conclusions at both the national and international levels, including welfare analysis.</P>
With the Lisbon Agenda the European Council has set ambitious goals for 2010, namely to make the Community the most dynamic knowledge-based economy in the world. This goal clearly indicates that the Council, the Commission and the European Parliament are fully aware of the high economic, political and social relevance of information and communi- tion technology, including modern digital services whose broad availab- ity is desirable from the perspective of all major users groups: Firms, private households and government agencies. The Commission indeed has emphasized that the i2010 project is a major pillar of the policies with a focus on the Lisbon Agenda: Creating faster broadband networks in the EU and providing more diversified and more high-quality services at the same time will indeed be crucial for the Union if the growth potential of modern eCommunications is to be fully exploited. Naturally, the telec- munications sector evolution has to be discussed in the context of the overall expansion dynamics of the information and communication te- nology (ICT) sector. At the same time the competition policy framework will affect digital dynamics in OECD countries. In the EU the interplay between supranational regulations and national regulations is quite imp- tant for the development of the telecommunications sector. This sector is subject to regulation for which the EU has created a framework in 2003 which is up for review in 2006.
