Abstract
Introduction
Broadband internet access plays a key role in economic and social development
by providing governments and their constituents with the tools for
e-government initiatives and better environments in which to work, live and do
business. As such, governments are implementing policies that enhance
penetration, increase speeds and lower the costs of broadband internet access
for their constituents.

MARKET OPPORTUNITY: DRIVERS BEHIND BROADBAND ROLLOUT
- Economic development provides the impetus behind the rollout of broadband
services
- The availability of high-speed internet is a prerequisite for business
development
- Innovative communities seek to prevent or reverse brain drain
- There is a correlation between broadband access and gross domestic
product
- Broadband rollout is being promoted in order to help bridge the digital
divide
- There is a significant divide between rural and urban areas
- Socioeconomic factors play a key role in the digital divide as well
- Bridging the digital divide will require more than simply providing
access
- Broadband makes public services more accessible and government more
efficient
- E-government, e-health and e-learning are enhanced by the availability
of high-speed broadband
- Public safety applications allow real-time surveillance and crime
prevention
- Public works projects such as automated meter reading are significantly
improved through broadband
- Low-speed access facilitates - and high-speed access enhances -
opportunities for teleworking
- Wireless and mobile networks will allow field workers to perform their job
more efficiently
- Government employees in the field often collect large datasets or
high-resolution images and video
- LTE networks will allow employees to transmit large files from the field
directly to government servers
- The enhancement of networks through broadband capabilities reduce costs
and save time for agencies
CUSTOMER IMPACT: GOVERNMENT' S ROLE IN THE FUTURE OF BROADBAND
- Broadband initiatives face challenges around cost and mounting levels of
data traffic
- Cost is the key inhibitor to broadband rollout
- There is a pressing need to prioritize the mounting levels of data
traffic
- There are varied approaches to government intervention and its role in
building the network
- Government networks were an early model which have generally proven
unsustainable
- Public-private partnerships are an effective approach to build and
deploy networks
- Government-mandated monopolies and duopolies are less frequent but
effective
- Grants, loans and subsidies are gaining traction as an approach
- Tax concessions help promote private sector involvement in underserved
areas
- Government must play a key role as regulator and developer of broadband
strategies
- National broadband strategies are critical in ensuring long-term
viability of networks
- Successful broadband strategies will require robust interoperability
between technologies and networks
- The most successful ventures will be public-private partnerships
GO TO MARKET: STRATEGIC STEPS FOR VENDORS
- Vendors must ensure widespread stakeholder involvement in the
regulation-setting process
- Vendors must ensure they have a voice at the table in setting
regulations for the industry
- New and wide-reaching partnerships that breed innovation will be critical
to vendor success
- Identifying executive leadership within government is a key factor for
success for vendors
- The digital divide is about more than simply providing low-cost access
- Stakeholders must have clear, measurable goals as to what the network aims
to achieve
- Finding the ‘killer app' will be key in determining the future of
broadband
- The rise of video applications will be a key impetus for pushing
broadband access
- Vendors must gather end-user input to determine applications which will
spur adoption
