Abstract

The telecommunications sector and the Internet section
of Internet Service Providers (ISP) have become a
dynamic key area for the economic development of industrialized
nations in the world. It is in constant evolution.
Because of intense competition, telecommunications
companies and ISPs are forced to diversify their offers
and thus to propose an increasing number of services.
However, economic analysis often ignores important
technical aspects of telecommunications and is not aware
of new developments. Engineering models often ignore
economic factors. Thus, the design and deployment of
future networks that incorporate new services are subject
to uncertainties such as equipment and capacity prices
(due to technological innovation), demand and supply for
services (due to competition). Seeing leading researchers
bringing together with various backgrounds, all working
on innovative aspects of technical, techno-economic,
social, and regulatory issues, lead to the following four
main areas that have been – partially – tackled in an
integrated manner:
- Architectural side,
- Social side,
- Economic and business side, and
- Regulatory side.
