Econ@Tel, COST Action IS0605 White Paper now available here
This White Paper presents a selected collection of dedicated views of 22 action members from 11 countries of the Action IS0605 in terms of key future aspects at stake identified as such over the years 2008 to 2009 for the benefit of the European players. It also sometimes identifies disruptive research directions for future work. It does not, therefore, constitute a state of the art in telecommunications techno-economics, as
usually these players will be familiar with current aspects. Furthermore, it does not claim to be fully exhaustive, but addresses many areas in those COST IS605 goals.

The goal of Econ@Tel is to develop a strategic research, training network
among key people/organizations in order to enhance Europe's competence in
the field of telecommunications economics, to support related
R&D-initiatives, and to provide guidelines, recommendations to European
players (end-users, enterprises, operators, regulators, policy makers,
content providers) for the provision of new converged broadband, wireless,
content delivery networks to citizens and enterprises.
Econ@Tel coordinates the development of research methodologies, tools from
engineering, media, and business research. Regulatory issues helping or
hindering the adoption of economically efficient services are identified.
Econ@Tel mobilizes the "critical mass" and diversity of economists, business
research experts, engineers, and scientists working in communications and
content economics. It is the first cross-disciplinary COST Action tackling
jointly these issues. It differentiates itself from engineering-focused
projects under EU Frameworks.
The main objective of this Action is to allow business
partnering to drive networking services and their sustainable provisioning
for consumers and enterprises alike.
Thus, in closer detail, the Econ@Tel COST Action aims to:
