Abstract: 

The chapter analyses the use of broadband in EU countries in an attempt to find the main reasons, which explain the differences among countries. With the use of factor analysis the underlying factors were identified as: 1. enablers and means; 2. the use of services; and 3. the ICT sector’s development. Cluster analysis was used to identify similar countries. Based on these findings, a two-dimensional framework that enables the classification of policy actions depending on the influencing factor and type of influence was developed. Finally, a novel conceptualization of the field of broadband and e-commerce/e-government is proposed.
