We combine matching and difference-in-difference regressions to estimate causal impacts, using ordinary least squres and two alternative estimators - the Heckman model and extremal quantile regression - to address potential sample selection bias. We find that these projects had a positive impact on upload speed but not download speed, increasing upload speeds in project areas in the preferred extremal quantile regression model using the Mahalanobis matched sample by an average of about 28 percent across the study periods. Our qualitative findings are robust to variations in the study sample, regression model, inclusion of high-dimensional fixed effects or random intercepts and coefficients, and other variations. We find larger impacts on upload speed of projects that supported fiber-to-the-household than other projects and larger impacts in some geographic regions. Based on the preferred model results, we estimate that the program cost of increasing measured upload speed through these Community Connect projects averaged about $1300 per Mbps per household.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":22290,"journal":{"name":"Telecommunications Policy","volume":"49 4","pages":"Article 102930"},"PeriodicalIF":5.9,"publicationDate":"2025-03-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143786276","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One may ponder; how does a significant digitalization upgrade affect developing economies? To answer this question and highlight the economic & environmental effects of digitalization in a developing economy, this study adopts the singly-country dynamic Energy and Environment Integrated computable general equilibrium model (EEICGE) with a 5-year gradual digitalization policy plan design in Nigeria, a developing economy. The shock simulation comparative statics show digitalization-driven investment opportunities in Nigeria and reveal that digitalization increases productivity and national output levels while leading to a substantial decline in the general price levels in the Nigerian economy. It further strengthens Nigeria's international trade revenue and makes its goods and services cheaper in the international (market) communities. Digitalization of the Nigerian economy also results in a structural shift and decline in on-site labour equilibrium demand/supply that is substituted mainly with capital (machines) but increases online entrepreneurial labour services such as online training sessions/classes, content creations like comedy skits, online sells & delivery services, online skill acquisition sessions etc., aimed at increasing agents' labour income. Thus, digitalization increases the economic agents' consumption, income, and welfare while availing the rich household cohorts, firms, and governments the chance to take advantage of the digitalization-driven investment opportunities financed through decreases in consumption budgets. In the end, this study presents pieces of evidence that favour and support substantial digitalization upgrades in developing economies like Nigeria.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":22290,"journal":{"name":"Telecommunications Policy","volume":"49 4","pages":"Article 102936"},"PeriodicalIF":5.9,"publicationDate":"2025-02-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143785779","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In particular, OTT services have experienced an explosive growth in the video content industry.

In digitalization, data traffic will inevitably increase, and related conflicts are expected to occur worldwide. Accordingly, it is significant to review the case of Netflix-SK Broadband in South Korea, the world’s significant legal dispute over the network usage fees. This study examines network usage fees and network neutrality as concepts relevant to the case, traces the litigation process, identifies the reasons for the settlement of the lawsuit, and discusses policy implications. This study suggests that the issue of network usage fees could become a trade issue and that a regulatory framework needs to be evolved accordingly. This study contributes to understanding the issue of network usage fees that will be increasingly important for global digital industries. As such, it can present a reference to the telecommunications and content industries and even to digital trade for their future debate and development.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":22290,"journal":{"name":"Telecommunications Policy","volume":"49 3","pages":"Article 102913"},"PeriodicalIF":5.9,"publicationDate":"2025-02-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143561376","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To elucidate its core characteristics and implications, this framework introduces two guiding principles: <em>Equivalence and Alignment</em> and <em>Fusion and Expansiveness</em>. The first principle advocates for consistency between metaverse and real-world identities in behavioral norms and social standards, ensuring rights protection and establishing conduct guidelines. The second emphasizes the deep integration and transformative evolution of metaverse identities, enabling them to transcend real-world constraints, meet diverse needs, and foster inclusivity. Together, two principles serve as complementary pillars, balancing ethical integration with dynamic co-evolution. Building on this foundation, the study identifies five critical challenges: interoperability, legal boundaries, privacy and identity management, risks from deepfakes and synthetic identities, and identity fragmentation impacting psychological well-being. To address these challenges, strategic recommendations are offered to guide stakeholders. By constructing this framework, the study fills a key theoretical gap, advances systematic research, and provides a foundation for policies and governance strategies to address the complexities of metaverse identities in a rapidly evolving digital domain.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":22290,"journal":{"name":"Telecommunications Policy","volume":"49 3","pages":"Article 102906"},"PeriodicalIF":5.9,"publicationDate":"2025-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143562040","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study uses cross-country panel data from 2003 to 2021 to examine the impact of population aging on inclusive growth and explore the role of artificial intelligence. Empirical results show that population aging has a significant negative impact on global inclusive growth, and demographic changes exacerbate the crisis of sustainable development. Specifically, population aging exacerbates the employment difficulties of groups with downgrading skills, inhibits the technological innovation, and inhibits the acquisition of educational skills, thereby indirectly inhibiting inclusive growth. Although artificial intelligence is the threshold variable for population aging to affect inclusive growth, the effect does not change significantly above and below the threshold. Finite mix models can better capture the buffering effects of artificial intelligence, and as artificial intelligence applications increase, population aging has less negative impact on inclusive growth. These findings contribute to the optimization of public policies for population development and artificial intelligence applications.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":22290,"journal":{"name":"Telecommunications Policy","volume":"49 4","pages":"Article 102932"},"PeriodicalIF":5.9,"publicationDate":"2025-02-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143786192","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
