ABSTRACT
In this chapter, we consider some of the long-term issues associated with the pricing of broadband telecommunications services. Future broadband digital networks will be based on a technological platform that will support voice, data, image, and video services. Policymakers and regulators have not yet reached a consensus on how these services will be deployed and priced in a competitive market. This chapter seeks to provide economic inputs that may be useful in developing appropriate technological and regulatory policies as these new services are deployed.
