Berkman Center Broadband Study

In this in-depth study, Professor Thomas W. Hazlett of the Berkman Center presents a thorough analysis of broadband markets, focusing on econometric data challenges, global broadband rankings, and academic insights from natural experiments in the U.S. The research spans three distinct periods of broadband progression: the dominance of cable, the surge of DSL, and the rise of Fiber to the Home (FTTH) deployments, all within a framework shaped by regulatory decisions and market conditions. This study aims to shed light on the evolution and competitive strategies necessary for enhancing broadband accessibility in America.
