  • Telenet Has 600,000 Fixed Line Customers
    PRESS RELEASE Telenet has 600,000 fixed line customers Mechelen, 11 September 2008 – Today Telenet recorded its 600,000 th fixed line customer. The success of Telenet in the area of fixed line telephony is chiefly the result of solid innovation power and well-thought out product development: Telenet was the first company in Belgium to introduce flat-fee phone formulae to the market with FreePhone and FreePhone 24. Last week Telenet launched FreePhone Europe as part of the new Shakes. With 600,000 customers Telenet now has a penetration of nearly 25% of the Flemish market. Approximately one in four Flemish families makes a call using a Telenet fixed line. “The fixed phone line continues to be popular with the middle-aged and seniors”, emphasises Dann Rogge, Director of Product Marketing Telephony and Internet at Telenet, “but we are now seeing an increase in the number of young families opting for a fixed line again. Comfort, operating certainty and a low price are the deciding factors in their decision to go for a fixed line. Young families want to be able to reach each other "as a family" at all times, and they want to be able to do so at an attractive price. That’s not possible with just one subscription for a mobile phone, because at the end of the day a GSM is a very ‘individual’ device and significantly more expensive than a fixed line phone". New phone product: FreePhone Europe. On 8 September the new Telenet Shakes were launched. FreePhone Europe has been introduced for all combinations with a phone product.

  • The Transition to Digital Television*
    DIGITAL TELEVISION 1 The Transition to Digital Television* Jérôme Addaa and Marco Ottavianib University College London; London Business School This paper studies the role of economic policy for the transition from analogue to digital television, with particular attention to the switch off of the analogue terrestrial signal. The analogue signal cannot be credibly switched off until almost all viewers have migrated to digital, due to universality of access to television. But before switch off, only part of the population can be reached with the digital signal. In addition, those who are reached need to spend more to upgrade their reception equipment than after switch off, because the capacity to increase the power of the digital signal will be made available only then. After reviewing the competitive structure and the role of government intervention in television markets, we present the early experience of a number of industrialised countries in the transition to digital television. We then formulate a micro-econometric model of digital television adoption by individual viewers. The model is calibrated to UK data and simulated to predict the impact of government policies on the take up of digital television. Policy makers can affect the speed of take up of digital television by: (i) controlling the quality of the signals and the content of public service broadcasters; (ii) intervening in the market for digital equipment with subsidies; and (iii) publicising the conditions and date of switch off of the analogue signal. We find that if the analogue terrestrial signal is switched off conditionally on aggregate adoption, strategic delays possibly arise and expectations affect the success of the switch off policy.

  • Policy Options and Regulatory Mechanisms for Managing Radicalization on the Internet
    Policy options and regulatory mechanisms for managing radicalization on the Internet Paris, 30 September 2016 “[…] I firmly believe that in a free democratic society, freedom of speech and expression is one of the most prized freedoms which must be defended and upheld at any cost and this should be particularly so in the land of Voltaire. It is indeed unfortunate that in the world of today, when science and technology have advanced the frontiers of knowledge and mankind is beginning to realize that human happiness can be realized only through inter-dependence and cooperation, the threshold of tolerance should be going down. It is high time man should realize his spiritual dimension and replace bitterness and hatred by love and compassion, tolerance and forgiveness.” Justice Prafullachandra Bhagwati Dan Shefet (Individual Specialist) ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The author wishes to thank the following for their support, valuable advice and input throughout the drafting of the Report: Dr. Indrajit Banerjee and his team in UNESCO’s Knowledge Societies Division The UNESCO Delegates and Ministries of Justice/Interior of countries that have participated in the Country Survey.

  • FAANGS for the Memories
    Cable Congress 2018 FAANGS for the memories 28 March 2018 Cable Congress Event Summary Hardly a presentation went by at the annual meeting of the European Cable Industry A collection of without mention of the FAANGS (Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Netflix, Google). findings from These internet titans were cited as the reason behind cable’s need to consolidate further, Cable Europe’s to embrace mobile more energetically, to shift video transmission to IP, to invest in ever higher speed and capacity, to embed data, machine learning and artificial intelligence in annual Congress, business models and to become an aggregation hub for internet delivered video content. March 6-7 2018 There were also numerous calls for the FAANGS to be blunted by more active oversight in Dublin and regulation. If the time to mend the roof is when it is sunny, then cable is picking the right time to examine its strategy and positioning. European cable growth remains positive, video erosion is slowing and is very minor compared to the high-ARPU US market. The reduced cost to extend network means that the pace of new cable build is growing, and cable businesses are attracting high valuations in the accelerating M&A market. The pace of innovation remains high, and the Congress showcased this, with developments in the traditional cable technologies as well as a recognition that the future would lie in a world of IP video and data-led artificial intelligence processes. Marketing and products are not immune from evolution either – the days when bundling and triple play were the holy grail are over, and there is a recognition that personalisation, ease of use and content aggregation are needed to retain customers whose behaviour and desires are adapting to a digital world.
