“Explaining International Broadband Leadership”

This report examines broadband policies in 9 nations, concluding that there are lessons that can be transferred between nations in this field. The report analyzes the extent to which policy and non-policy factors drive broadband performance, and how broadband policies related to national leadership, incentives, competition, rural access, and consumer demand affect national broadband performance. Also included in the report are the updated 2008 ITIF Broadband Rankings, a composite measure of broadband penetration, speed and price among OECD countries.
