The document discusses the key elements of a broadband ecosystem including investment, infrastructure, services, market players, and regulatory frameworks. It raises issues around who will invest in broadband networks and whether supply and demand can be properly profiled. Questions are also posed about what customers will purchase, whether any "killer apps" could drive market success, and how regulation can help or hinder an ecosystem's growth through approaches like regulatory forbearance. The document concludes with an invitation for 10-minute presentations on these topics from a discussion panel and audience questions.

This document discusses several key points around governance innovation and its economic implications:
1) Productivity dispersion across firms has increased, especially in digital intensive sectors, with top firms becoming more productive while productivity has stagnated at other firms.
2) Innovative digital services can boost productivity for firms that adopt these services, as shown by data from several European countries.
3) Product market regulations that are less restrictive encourage more firms to adopt new technologies like cloud computing. Countries with higher barriers to competition tend to see less cloud computing adoption.
4) Existing regulatory indicators capture some but not all aspects of regulating new digital technologies, so reforms are needed to make regulations more technology neutral and supportive of data-drivenLorenzo Allio, Session 3

The National Broadband Plan aimed to encourage private investment and innovation to expand broadband access across the US (except for subsidies for rural areas). It identified several gaps in 2010 including 14 million Americans lacking broadband infrastructure access, 93 million lacking broadband adoption at home, and gaps in using broadband for national purposes like health and energy. Several policy gaps were also hampering innovation, investment, and competition in areas like need for more spectrum, lack of data to inform competition, and inconsistent wholesale regulations. Trends showed a looming spectrum gap that wireless broadband could help address if spectrum policy was transformed.1 QITCOM 2012 - Nilo Mitra (Iptv)
