The current study provides comprehensive data on 2016 retail prices of fixed broadband offers for consumers in the EU28, Iceland, Norway, Japan, South Korea, Canada and the USA. The five largest Internet Service Providers (ISPs) in each country were included. Data was collected from ISP websites between 10th and 24th October 2016. Offers were analysed for Single Play (standalone internet), for Double Play with fixed telephony, Double Play with television services, and for Triple Play. Offers for each of the four bundles were assigned to several download speed baskets ranging from 0.144 Mbps to more than 100 Mbps. To support valid cross-national comparison of retail prices of fixed broadband offers in each bundle and basket, consistent price normalisation procedures were applied. These take full account of features such as one-off fees, volume limits, discounts, different contract durations and varying telephony time limits. Applying the normalised prices in Euro, it was found that the least expensive countries for fixed broadband in the EU in 2016 were Lithuania, Sweden, Latvia, Romania and Finland. Prices differ considerably between the least and most expensive countries in the EU.

The current study provides comprehensive data on 2021 retail prices of fixed and mobile broadband offers for consumers in the EU27, the United Kingdom, Iceland, Norway, Japan, South Korea and the USA. The five largest Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and the two or three largest Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) in each country were included. Data was collected from ISP and MNO websites within a period of three weeks, from 4th to 24th October 2021. The baskets defined in the study follows the guidelines issued by the Body of European Regulators for Electronic Communications (BEREC). The set of baskets cover 5 fixed broadband baskets of different download speeds and 5 mobile broadband baskets (for tablet/modem/data card use) of different download volumes purchased individually (stand-alone), 7 individual mobile handheld baskets with voice telephony and a set of 17 baskets for representative households. To support valid cross-national comparison of retail prices of fixed and mobile broadband offers in each bundle and basket, consistent price normalisation procedures were applied. These take full account of features such as one-off fees, volume limits, discounts, different contract durations and limits for telephony call time and data volumes. Applying the normalised prices in euro in Purchasing Power Parity (€/PPP), the least expensive countries for fixed broadband in the EU in 2021 were Lithuania, Romania, Bulgaria and Latvia. Prices differ considerably between the least and most expensive countries in the EU.
The current study provides comprehensive data on 2020 retail prices of fixed and mobile broadband offers for consumers in the EU27, the UK, Iceland, Norway, Japan, South Korea and the USA. The five largest Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and the two or three largest Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) in each country were included. Data was collected from ISP and MNO websites within a period of three weeks, from 5 th to 25th October 2020. The baskets defined in the study fully conform to the guidelines issued by the Body of European Regulators for Electronic Communications (BEREC). The set of baskets cover 5 fixed broadband baskets of different download speeds and 5 mobile broadband baskets (for tablet/modem/data card use) of different download volumes purchased individually (stand-alone), 7 individual mobile handheld baskets with voice telephony and a set of 17 baskets for representative households. To support valid cross-national comparison of retail prices of fixed and mobile broadband offers in each bundle and basket, consistent price normalisation procedures were applied.

Applying the normalised prices in Euro in Purchasing Power Parity (€/PPP), the least expensive countries for fixed broadband in the EU in 2020 were Bulgaria, Latvia, Romania and Lithuania. Prices differ considerably between the least and most expensive countries in the EU.
The current study provides comprehensive data on 2019 retail prices of fixed and mobile broadband offers for consumers in the EU28, Iceland, Norway, Japan, South Korea and the USA. The five largest Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and the two or three largest Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) in each country were included. Data was collected from ISP and MNO websites within a period of three weeks, from 7th to 25th October 2019. The baskets defined in the study fully conform to the guidelines issued by the Body of European Regulators for Electronic Communications (BEREC). The set of baskets cover 5 fixed broadband baskets of different download speeds and 5 mobile broadband baskets (for tablet/modem/data card use) of different download volumes purchased individually (stand-alone), 7 individual mobile handheld baskets with voice telephony and a set of 17 baskets for representative households.

The current study provides comprehensive data on 2017 retail prices of mobile broadband offers for consumers in the EU28, Iceland, Norway, Turkey, Japan, South Korea, and the USA. The two or three largest Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) in each country were included. Data was collected from ISP websites in February 2017 for offers including telephony and in July 2017 for data-only offers. Offers were analysed to determine the least expensive offer in each country for each of the standard mobile internet usage baskets defined by the OECD. To support valid cross-national comparison of retail prices of mobile broadband offers in respect of a usage basket, consistent price normalisation procedures were applied. These take full account of contractual features affecting usage costs such as one-off fees, discounts, contract duration, and limits for telephony call time, numbers of SMS, and data volumes. Applying the normalised prices in Euro, it was found that the least expensive countries for mobile broadband in the EU in 2017 were Poland, Austria, Italy, Lithuania, and Latvia. Prices differ considerably between the least and most expensive countries in the EU. The most expensive countries are Greece, the Czech Republic, Cyprus, and Hungary. With the exception of prices in one usage basket, prices for broadband mobile internet usage in Europe have fallen significantly since 2016. Comparison of EU28 prices with prices in selected non-EU countries (Iceland, Norway, Turkey, Japan, South Korea, and the USA) in 2017 showed that, on average, mobile broadband in the EU28 is about as expensive as or more expensive than in the non-European countries for most of the OECD usage baskets.
This volume explores the role of territory in the creation, maintenance and extension of a new type of frontier, the electronic frontier, from a social and economic point of view. It departs from the earlier concepts of borders – state, social, economic, ethnic, religious, etc. – to investigate the fluidity of borders and their shift towards an axis-based paradigm within the free-movement European Union. Specifically, the authors will examine a) the metamorphoses of frontiers between the real and the virtual, b) the importance of space (territory) in the new information society and the Digital Single Market and c) the evolution of electronic frontiers in relation to globalization and the network society. What happens when the Internet collides with new social and economic borders? In the past borders have been perceived from only a national state point of view. Now new types of borders or frontiers, such as social, economic, ethnic, religious frontiers, can be discussed. The electronic frontier is the result of a socio-economic analysis of the relationship between the Internet and new frontiers in society and the economy. The European space best represents the fluidity of borders and frontiers within this transformation. Thus, the European Union is the best space to perform research on the electronic frontiers. Borders are permeable or impermeable, agents of inclusiveness or of exclusion. The relations between the real space and the virtual space, but also the influence of the Internet on society, lead us to two other important concepts for our research, namely digital divide and digital inclusion, which define connections or barriers even within the virtual space. This book attempts to answer questions such as: What types of borders have information and communication technologies created in Europe? Which is the foundation of these new frontiers? How does the network society function in Europe and which type of frontier prevails? This title aims to fill the gap in the literature in the relationship between frontiers and information and communication technologies.
The Broadband Coverage in Europe study is designed to monitor the progress of EU Member States toward their specific broadband coverage objectives - namely: 'Universal Broadband Coverage with speeds at least 30 Mbps by 2020' and 'Broadband Coverage of 50% of households with speeds at least 100 Mbps by 2020'. This report covers thirty-one countries across Europe - the EU 28, plus Norway, Iceland and Switzerland, and analyses the availability of nine broadband technologies (DSL, VDSL, cable modem, DOCSIS 3, FTTP, WiMAX, HSPA, LTE and satellite) across each market, at national and rural levels. In addition, various combination categories indicating the availability of one or more forms of broadband connection are also published. These cover overall fixed & wireless broadband availability, fixed broadband availability and next-generation access (NGA) availability. Europe-wide overview, country comparisons and year-on-year trends are provided in this report. Additionally, broadband coverage developments in study countries are discussed in individual country chapters.
