  • Claims That the Open Internet Order Impaired Investment Lack Any Sound Theoretical Or Factual Basis
    Claims That the Open Internet Order Impaired Investment Lack Any Sound Theoretical or Factual Basis ISPs and their advocates—acknowledged and unacknowledged—have made and reiterated claims that the 2015 Open Internet Order (OI Order) has impaired ISPs’ investments since February 2015, when the OI Order was adopted. Those assertions are incorrect as a matter of theory and as a matter of fact. Every commercial enterprise’s decision to invest and the level of investment undertaken reflects a wide range of factors, including general economic conditions, the cost of capital, the completion of major programs (for example—network upgrades such as LTE), known uncertainties (for example—the lack of standards for future network upgrades such as 5G), and demand forecasts. In other words, investment decisions are never a function of a single factor. There are techniques that enable analysts to identify major influences with respect to investment and changes in valuation. These techniques, often called “impact evaluations,” require a significant amount of data and, even when the requisite data are available, often lead to controversial conclusions. While it is impossible to conduct an impact evaluation in the close aftermath of a triggering event such as the OI Order, examination of major ISPs’ statements regarding their investment undermines industry partisans’ “instant analysis” claims regarding the impact of the OI Order on investment. ***** The OI Order was designed to ensure that Americans reap the economic, social, and civic benefits of an open Internet both today and in the future. Assessing whether the adopted net neutrality regulations have succeeded at doing so, without unduly affecting the dynamic incentives of providers to invest in service quality, is a difficult, yet important, policy evaluation question.

  • Betting on Digital
    Digital Evolution: Oi case study A report from The Economist Intelligence Unit Betting on digital The successful launch of an online portal has given telecommunications company Oi the confidence to pursue an ambitious digital transformation initiative For many organisations, the impetus for digital transformation comes from customer demand. As The Economist Intelligence Unit identified in its “Digital Evolution” research project, sponsored by Accenture and Pegasystems, 50% of companies involved in digital transformation initiatives cite “evolving customer needs” as a key driver. Global telecommunications giant Oi is a case in point. Five years ago Oi—the largest telecoms company in Brazil, South Africa and Portugal—began a journey to transform the way in which it interacts with customers through digital means. “For us, digital transformation means being able to provide a seamless experience, no matter the device; experiences that are easy to use, fast and fun,” says Abel Camargo, the company’s digital director. However, as Mr Camargo explains, this transformation has challenged the organisation to rethink not just its customer-facing technologies but also its organisational structure and business-process Sponsored by 1 © The Economist Intelligence Unit Limited 2016 Digital Evolution: Oi case study ❛❛ design. “It also means excelling in both digital and leadership capabilities, rethinking and improving Digital business processes, customer engagements and business models,” he notes. transformation And while it is by no means easy, the organisational

  • New Foreign Policy Actors in China
    Stockholm InternatIonal Peace reSearch InStItute SIPrI Policy Paper new ForeIgn PolIcy new Foreign Policy actors in china 26 actorS In chIna September 2010 The dynamic transformation of Chinese society that has paralleled linda jakobson and dean knox changes in the international environment has had a direct impact on both the making and shaping of Chinese foreign policy. To understand the complex nature of these changes is of utmost importance to the international community in seeking China’s engagement and cooperation. Although much about China’s foreign policy decision making remains obscure, this Policy Paper make clear that it is possible to identify the interest groups vying for a voice in policy formulation and to explore their policy preferences. Uniquely informed by the authors’ access to individuals across the full range of Chinese foreign policy actors, this Policy Paper reveals a number of emergent trends, chief among them the changing face of China’s official decision-making apparatus and the direction that actors on the margins would like to see Chinese foreign policy take. linda Jakobson (Finland) is Director of the SIPRI China and Global Security Programme. She has lived and worked in China for over 15 years and is fluent in Chinese. She has written six books about China and has published extensively on China’s foreign policy, the Taiwan Strait, China’s energy security, and China’s policies on climate change and science and technology. Prior to joining SIPRI in 2009, Jakobson worked for 10 years for the Finnish Institute of International Affairs (FIIA), most recently as director of its China Programme.
