This analysis substantiates the premise that effective telecom policy serves as robust climate policy. The paper argues for a global alignment of telecom and climate policies, advocating for an integrated approach that acknowledges the deep interdependencies between these sectors. Key policy recommendations include targeted subsidies for broadband in rural areas, strategic spectrum allocation, and comprehensive incentives for green technology adoption across consumers, industries, and governments.

Understanding this relationship is important for assessing the equity implications of telecommunication policy given the ongoing and significant public investment into high speed broadband infrastructure. This paper contributes to this discussion by connecting high speed broadband maps in Ireland to measures of social deprivation constructed from detailed population-wide Irish census data collected in 2022. Linking to newly available maps of urban boundaries, the results show that the availability of commercially provided high speed broadband (i.e. coverage) is highly divided; urban areas have near complete coverage, whereas rural areas have little to no coverage. Exploring determinants of coverage in rural areas, we observe that coverage increases with affluence. This suggests that rural areas, which are relatively socially deprived, are being further disadvantaged through inequalities in the availability of high speed broadband.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":22290,"journal":{"name":"Telecommunications Policy","volume":"48 9","pages":"Article 102819"},"PeriodicalIF":5.9,"publicationDate":"2024-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0308596124001162/pdfft?md5=bdd2bd66227294f1429c8dd69a6ab81a&pid=1-s2.0-S0308596124001162-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141842788","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}

Existing research presents conflicting evidence regarding the relationship between remote work and productivity. However, few have examined the specific mechanisms through which remote work affects productivity. Given this, the present study bridges this gap by examining changes in job assignment as one mechanism in which working from home affects labor productivity. We empirically examine the impact of work-from-home (WFH) on job tasks using original data collected before and during the pandemic. Our results demonstrate that WFH increases non-routine analytic tasks and decreases routine manual tasks, while non-routine interactive, routine cognitive, and non-routine manual tasks remain unchanged. Furthermore, the negative impact of WFH on routine manual tasks is more significant for the groups that had more routine manual tasks before the pandemic. Meanwhile, the positive impact on non-routine analytic tasks is more pronounced for employees with fewer non-routine analytic tasks before the pandemic. Finally, through such task changes, WFH leads to higher wage rates. Our findings suggest that the switch to WFH and increased use of information and communication technology capital increases the input for non-routine tasks performed by labor, and, in turn, increases labor productivity.</span></p></div>","PeriodicalId":22290,"journal":{"name":"Telecommunications Policy","volume":"48 8","pages":"Article 102806"},"PeriodicalIF":5.9,"publicationDate":"2024-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141849014","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}

The findings reveal that there are a limited number of blockchain projects led by and/or with the relevant participation of CMOs.

In summary, blockchain is neither at the core of the music industry's digital transformation nor a priority for CMOs leading this process from the perspective of intellectual property rights management. The limited quality of music metadata, sparsity of sound data sources, and absence of a common data governance framework among different stakeholders within the industry are the main impediments to transforming blockchain into a global solution with transformative potential.
