Workshop summary: fourth LSE Network Economy Forum 25 March 2013

The latest half-day workshop at London School of Economics was attended by 39 invited people who focused on the theme “Policies for a sustainable telecommunications and internet sector in Europe”. Participants included regulators, telecom operators, internet application firms, financial analysts, and academic researchers and our discussion was divided into a session on regulatory economics, another on policies for productivity and European competiveness, and a panel discussion on the commercial sustainability of European telecom and internet sector. As we follow Chatham House Rules, this summary will describe issues raised largely without attribution. The workshop was chaired by Dr Jonathan Liebenau, Reader in Technology Management.
