摘要

The panel participants will contribute to the existing body of broadband adoption research in two main areas: panelists Middleton, Wilson, Morten, Schulz,and Weerakkody will address issues related to national policies and individual/consumer level adoption, while Papazafeiropoulou, Ramdani, and Gholami will focus their discussions upon the issue of broadband adoption in the SME context. Needless to say, findings presented by all panelists will also be of interest to supply-side stakeholders including ISPs and governments. Finally, panelists will also formulate research issues requiring further investigation.
