Abstract: The paper focuses on the links between telecommunication networks and local development, emphasizing on the peculiar case of Metropolitan Area Networks (MAN). From tools of network economics, the paper studies the market dynamics of telecommunication networks and the infrastructure diffusion from metropolitan regions to peripheral ones. This market dynamics shows that the infrastructure offering by local communities can contribute to local development only if regulation mechanisms of co-operation between local public institutions are instituted.
