Digital Highways
The Role of Government In 21st-Century Infrastructure
by Roman Friedrich, Karim Sabbagh, Bahjat El-Darwiche and Milind Singh

Next-generation broadband networks promise much faster transfer of information, services, and benefits throughout a national economy, promoting overall growth, productivity, and prosperity. For that reason, public policymakers are seeking to stimulate or contribute significant investments to establish such networks. Yet the hurdles to deploying next-generation broadband are significant. Private investment in the sector hangs on greater certainty over revenue, regulation, and technology—and many telecom operators are not willing to move forward without support. Government policymakers can play a direct, indirect, or entirely passive role in reducing these hurdles and providing greater certainty and support for deployments. The policy choices they make will likely determine how much their nations benefit from deployment of next-generation broadband.
