Telecommunications Policy, 2024, vol. 48, issue 1

Abstract: Promoting high-quality fixed and mobile broadband for all, at an affordable price, is an important enabler of the digital transformation of society and can help to close the digital divide. This became clearer than ever during the pandemic, when broadband access was a crucial enabler of remote work, distance learning, telemedicine and e-commerce. More recently, geopolitical tensions have compounded supply chain disruptions that were already visible during the pandemic in ways that make achievement of ubiquitous broadband even more difficult and potentially more expensive than in the past.
