Selected Results Of The Cost Action Is0605 Econ Tel: Lecture Notes In Computer Science

The COST Action IS0605 ECON TEL (Economic Analysis of Telecommunication Networks and Services) was a four-year project that ran from 2007 to 2011. The project brought together researchers from 26 countries to work on a variety of topics related to the economic analysis of telecommunication networks and services. The project's main objectives were to:

• Develop new theoretical and empirical models for the analysis of telecommunication networks and services.
• Apply these models to the analysis of real-world telecommunication markets.
• Disseminate the results of the project's research to scholars, policymakers, and industry practitioners.

The project's research activities were organized into four working groups:

• Working Group 1: Economic Modeling of Telecommunication Networks and Services
• Working Group 2: Empirical Analysis of Telecommunication Markets
• Working Group 3: Policy Analysis of Telecommunication Regulation
• Working Group 4: Dissemination and Outreach

The project's research resulted in a number of important findings, including:

• The development of new models for the analysis of telecommunication networks and services.
• The application of these models to the analysis of real-world telecommunication markets.
• The identification of policy issues related to the regulation of telecommunication markets.

The project's findings have been disseminated through a variety of channels, including:

• A series of workshops and conferences
• A number of publications in academic journals
• A book published by Springer

The following are some of the selected results of the COST Action IS0605 ECON TEL project:

• Working Group 1: Economic Modeling of Telecommunication Networks and Services

• Developed a new model for the analysis of the pricing of telecommunication services.

• Applied this model to the analysis of the pricing of broadband services in the European Union.

• Developed a new model for the analysis of the investment in telecommunication networks.

• Applied this model to the analysis of the investment in broadband networks in the United States.

• Working Group 2: Empirical Analysis of Telecommunication Markets

• Conducted a survey of the telecommunication markets in the European Union.

• Analyzed the data from the survey to identify the key factors that affect the prices of telecommunication services.

• Developed a model to predict the prices of telecommunication services in the European Union.

• Working Group 3: Policy Analysis of Telecommunication Regulation

• Analyzed the effects of telecommunication regulation on the prices of telecommunication services.

• Developed a set of recommendations for the regulation of telecommunication markets.

• Working Group 4: Dissemination and Outreach

• Organized a series of workshops and conferences on the economic analysis of telecommunication networks and services.

• Published a number of articles in academic journals on the economic analysis of telecommunication networks and services.

• Published a book on the economic analysis of telecommunication networks and services.

The COST Action IS0605 ECON TEL project was a successful four-year project that resulted in a number of important findings related to the economic analysis of telecommunication networks and services. The project's findings have been disseminated through a variety of channels and have been used to inform policy decisions in a number of countries.
