Over the years, IDATE has become one of Europe’s foremost centres of market analysis and debate, specialised in the telecommunications, internet and media industry markets.
The DigiWorld Programme was created several years back to support those Institute initiatives that embody the originality of this European forum for debate and experience-sharing which is at the heart of the “IDATE project”.

This special issue focuses on the technological effervescence that is characteristic of the telecommunications sector in the all IP era. Such an approach has two implications. Firstly, the debate over regulation, which is the order of the day in the world's most advanced countries and their emerging counterparts, cannot be reduced to a debate of doctrines. Secondly, growth in the telecommunications sector was dominated for a number of years by growth in emerging economies. And, in many cases, it is these very countries that now stand to gain the most from cutting-edge technologies. |

In this issue we wanted to spotlight the Review of the European regulatory framework for electronic communications services. We welcome this as an opportunity to illustrate the role that we increasingly hope our journal will play by offering experts (economists, jurists, etc.) the chance to publish articles on topical sets of problems facing industry leaders and public decision-makers in the telecommunications, internet and media sectors. |

This is the study of situations whereby one or several platforms facilitate interactions between users on two different sides of a market. This new method of analysis may encourage some competition authorities and regulators to reconsider the functioning of ICT markets and incite decision-makers to think about the industry strategies to be implemented. |

In this issue we have moved away from the mainly economic questions usually covered by our journal in favour of a dossier that examines usage. The Editors have selected research presentations made at a recent seminar on this topic for publication. The dossier is accompanied by an interview with Roger Silverstone conducted by David Osimo of IPTS. Following on from this dossier are two important articles that reflect the extent of ongoing changes in the telecommunications industry. |

This issue of C&S is devoted to analysis of the impacts of information and communications technologies (ICTs) on the environment in general, and more particularly on global warming and climate change. It is widely recognised that ICTs are important users of electrical energy and have direct impacts on climate change via their use of electrical energy generated from fossil fuels. Overall ICTs have made major strides in reducing their use of electricity and are among the most efficient devices in terms of performance / electricity use ratios, accounting for 2-3% of total energy use.

Since 2006, mobile services have accounted for more than half of the total telecom services revenue in the world. Does this mean we have an industry that has reached maturity, and which will remain governed chiefly by regulatory provisions and structural shifts? Or is this a relative maturity, behind which is taking shape a new era of innovation for consumers, but also of uncertainty for industry's main players? What are the common features and the differences between the huge transformation of the wireline telephony market spurred by increasingly ubiquitous broadband and VoIP, and what is starting to take place with high-speed mobile access and the mobile Internet?

The state of deep crisis in which the global economy finds itself makes it all the more necessary to take stock of what has changed and what will appear as radically new once the crisis is over. This is why it struck us as particularly relevant to shed some light on the matter with a special dossier comprised of works that address the topics of Open innovation and Open platform strategies.

The first Transatlantic Dialogue was held in conjunction with the IDATE Conference on November 22nd 2005 in Montpellier, France. The dossier of this issue is based on the papers presented at this seminar. In this issue we concentrate on events in the United States as compared to Europe. We were particularly fortunate to have the cooperation and support of the Columbia Institute of Tele-Information (CITI), Columbia University, the University of Colorado and the International Telecommunications Society to help pull together the program and papers for this event. |

The connectedness of developing countries has increased overall, notably thanks to the success of mobile services, and to set new priorities. The various articles selected offer an overview of the problems that have emerged. The dossier is accompanied by an interview with Calestous JUMA, which offers an original analysis of ICT growth in developing countries. This dossier is followed by our annual selection of the best papers presented at the last session of Euro CPR held in Berlin last March. |
