The transition... https://doi.org/10.3926/hdbr.196 Technological change, opening and internationalization of Spanish telecommunications. The transition to the third generation of mobile telephony Ángel Amado Calvo Calvo Professor Emeritus in the College of Economics and Business at the University of Barcelona. Spain. ORCID: 0000-0002-1370-9970. [email protected] Received: December, 2017. Accepted: December, 2018 Published: June, 2019. Abstract This article explores from a multidisciplinary and transnational historical approach the impact of technological change on the structure of the telephone sector, the fruit of advances in microelectronics and information technology. This problem has been studied in Spain basically by regulatory specialists, on the one hand, and technologists, on the other. We lack a more transversal analysis that puts into play the various elements that intervene. This article is intended to cover this gap, based on unpublished primary sources –primarily from Telefónica– as well as in other documents of diverse origin. Specifically, it focuses on the role played by Spain and the historic telephone company (Telefónica) in the transition to the third generation of mobile telephony (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System, UMTS) and gives prominence to the national state, to the supranational bodies –EU and International Telecommunication Union (ITU) and companies. Keywords Mobile telephony, Universal Mobile Telecommunications System, Telefónica, licenses, operator debt, internationalization. How to cite this article Calvo, Á. A. (2019).

  • Media Release
    Media release 12 December 2013 Bill Morrow appointed NBN Co CEO Global telecommunications executive Bill Morrow will steer the National Broadband Network through the next stage of its development. The Vodafone Australia CEO has been appointed Chief Executive Officer of NBN Co Limited, the company responsible for delivering Australia’s nationwide fixed-line broadband upgrade. He will join the company in the New Year and will be based in Sydney. Mr Morrow’s appointment by the Board of NBN Co comes as the company lays out the framework for delivering very fast broadband to Australian homes and businesses sooner and at less cost to taxpayers than previously was the case. The new approach is contained in the Strategic Review of the NBN which the company presented to the Government today. Announcing the appointment, NBN Co Executive Chairman Dr Ziggy Switkowski said: “I am delighted that a senior business leader of the calibre of Bill Morrow has agreed to accept the challenge of delivering the long-promised upgrade to Australia’s broadband infrastructure. Bill’s experience extends not only to running major telecommunications businesses but, from his time at Clearwire in the United States, also building a large scale network. He possesses the right mix of talent, experience and deep knowledge of the telecommunications industry to ensure NBN Co can get the job done.” Mr Morrow said: “I staunchly believe that this important initiative, done right, will provide a boon to the nation’s economy. The digital revolution is picking up speed. With the right infrastructure and industry collaboration, Australia will reap the benefits for decades to come.
