Trans-European Telecommunication Networks
Author: Colin Turner
Publisher: Psychology Press
ISBN: 9780415161862
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 177
Book Description
The provision of advanced telecommunication networks is increasingly pivotal in determining an economy's perfomance. This study examines the importance of these networks within the EU and questions their role in promoting economic regeneration and renewal in Europe. Examining the nature of telecommunication networks and the rationale for the development of trans-European networks, the study explores the features networks need to exhibit if they are to complement the broad themes of Europe's industrial policy, and demonstrated the economic importance of advanced telecommunications to business. The final chapters of the volume offer an analysis of the technology associated with the three chosen priorities of the EU in the development of advanced telecommunication infrastructure: the Integrated Digital Network (ISDN); and the development of telematic network; the development of broadband networks.

Network Developments in Economic Spatial Systems
Author: Aura Reggiani
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 0429820127
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 324
Book Description
First published in 1999, the main feature of this book is its multidisciplinary nature, since the book focuses on the complexity of spatial/ economic networks from several methodological points of view. For this purpose both theoretical and empirical works have been included. The aim of the book is to provide an updated and fresh look at the mentioned issue with innovative and creative papers coming from leading experts belonging to different disciplines. Therefore the book could be considered as an expert and critical guide - through different methodological approaches - to the topic of (complex) networks in the space-economy. All the contributions provide innovative and in some cases provocative elements to the understanding of networks and development over space.

Telecommunications in Europe
Author: Eli Noam
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0195361369
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 536
Book Description
Telecommunications represents one of the largest high technology equipment and service industries in the world. Today there is growing support within the telecommunications industry for competition domestically and in world trade which is directly at odds with its distinctive political tradition of monopoly provision and minimally competitive international trade practices. This raises major questions, both for emerging public policy and for theorists concerned with the making of public policy. This particularly true for Europe, the focus of this study, where the reform of the telecommunications sector has proven one of the most vexing issues confronting the unification of the European Common Market. Noam's book is the first major attempt to address the complicated economic and policy issues of telecommunications in Europe. He provides a thorough discussion of the evolution of central telephone networks, equipment supply, new value-added networks, and new telecommunications-related services within the framework of a detailed country by country analysis. This highly accessible and comprehensive study will be of interest to students and professionals in the areas of communications, economics, and political science.

Trans-European Networks
Author: D. Johnson
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 0230373208
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 246
Book Description
Trans-European networks (TENs) are a key theme in the process of integration for the EU as it enters the next millennium. The attainment of these networks stretches across many different areas of European policy and economy. The development of TENs is about establishing a series of infrastructure networks that complement the broad changes in the European economy facilitated by the development of the Single European Market. The book examines the development of TENs in the three key sectors: transport, energy and telecommunications, noting key themes and issues that need to be faced in their attainment. Attention is also paid to common problems in their realisation most notably the financing problems. The EU's strategy to develop these networks is essentially market-led yet, as the financing issues indicate, a consensus between the states in allowing commercial investment in infrastructure is proving elusive.
