Broadband communications have become the most important focus in the current evolution of the Internet. But there is a significant difference in the broadband performance of different countries, raising critical issues about the United States, Japan and Korea, and the European Union.

The collection is organized into four parts, which move outward from individual firms; to networks or clusters of firms; to...
