This dissertation investigates the capacity required by an internet application in tandem with the network connection type (dial-up or broadband). An internet user's experience in accessing various types of applications with either high bandwidth or low bandwidth is examined in a consumer choice model of broadband adoption. A consumer implicitly values the time-saving benefits derived from a higher speed internet connection used to access a particular internet application, and compares those utility benefits to the higher price of high speed connection services in making the decision to shift to broadband or remain with a dial-up connection. We find that using broadband rather than dial-up to run bandwidth intensive applications presents considerable gains in the implicit value of time saved. Assuming that internet users are rational utility maximizing agents, a logit model is used to calculate the likelihood of broadband adoption as a function primarily of the nature/type of the internet applications ("elastic or inelastic"). While the empirical results are generally consistent with our hypothesis that consumers are more likely to subscribe to broadband if they regularly run applications that are bandwidth intensive, the results vary somewhat by model specification, and are potentially sensitive to controlling for endogeneity. Correcting for endogeneity remains the major challenge in extending this research. Research Question: What is the relationship between consumer valuation of the net benefits of using bandwidth intensive applications and the adoption of broadband internet? Hypothesis: The less a consumer requires bandwidth intensive applications; the lower is the likelihood of switching from a low level bandwidth internet service like dial-up to a high level bandwidth internet type like broadband. While this relationship may appear obvious, it has not been systematically investigated or measured, nor has its importance in affecting lags in broadband adoption been adequately appreciated.

There is a policy debate at both state and federal levels over how to facilitate consumer adoption of the Internet and, particularly, broadband technology to access the Internet. The objective of this study is to offer empirical evidence directly relevant to this debate. In so doing, we examine the influence of availability, competition, and demographics on the adoption of broadband technology in the U.S. The focus of our study is on the effect of intermodal (cable modem v. DSL) competition on broadband penetration, relative to the effect of simple broadband availability. The econometric results indicate that after controlling for the demand and cost influences on adoption, intermodal competition drives increased penetration in a state. In fact, while total broadband penetration in a state increases with total broadband availability in the state, the effect of total availability disappears when intermodal competition is controlled for. It appears, then, that broadband availability in a state is driven by intermodal competition and the demand and cost factors, but not by raw availability of broadband services, given those other factors. The independent effect of direct, intermodal competition is statistically significant and of substantial magnitude.

When one considers broadband, the Internet immediately springs to mind. However, broadband is impacting society in many ways. For instance, broadband networks can be used to deliver healthcare or community related services to individuals who don't have computers, have distance as an issue to contend with, or don't use the internet. Broadband can support better management of scarce energy resources with the advent of smart grids, enables improved teleworking capacity and opens up a world of new entertainment possibilities. Yet scholarly examinations of broadband technology have so far examined adoption, usage, or diffusion but missed exploring the capacity of broadband networks to enable new applications, the management aspects of funding and developing broadband-enabled services, or the policy environment in which such networks are developed. This book explores a wide range of issues associated with the deployment and use of broadband including its impacts on individuals, organizations, and society, and offers a generalist understanding of the technical aspects of broadband. Management of Broadband Technology and Innovation offers insights on broadband from the perspectives of Information Systems, Management, Strategy, and Communications Policy scholars, drawing on research from these disciplines to inform diverse aspects of broadband deployment, policy, and use. Issues associated with a subject technical in nature, but now researched in many ways, are emphasised. This book explains various softer aspects of broadband deployment and use, focusing on the benefits of broadband rather than on details of the technology.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 2010 Joint International Working C- ference of the International Federation for Information Processing Working Groups 8.2 and 8.6. Both working groups are part of IFIP Technical Committee 8, the tech- cal committee addressing the field of Information Systems. IFIP WG 8.2, the Inter- tion of Information Systems and Organizations, was established in 1977. IFIP WG 8.6, Diffusion, Transfer and Implementation of Information Technology, was est- lished in 1994. In accordance with their respective themes, both IFIP WG 8.2 and IFIP WG 8.6 have long had an interest in the human impact of information systems. In December 1998, they held a joint working conference in Helsinki, Finland, on the theme “Inf- mation Systems: Current Issues and Future Challenges.” The two working groups’ joint interest in and collaboration on research concerning the human side of IS is c- tinued and extended through this joint working conference, held on the campus of Curtin University of Technology, from March 30 to April 1, 2010, in Perth, Western Australia. This conference, “Human Benefit Through the Diffusion of Information Systems Design Science Research,” combines the traditional themes of the two working groups with the growing interest within the IS research field in the area of design science research.
