This study aims to reveal a set of important factors related to FTTH tariffs and potentially differentiate them among the different EU countries, when constructing a dataset of 28 EU countries between 2013 and 2018 with tariff data 30–100 Mbps (TR30) and 100+ Mbps (TR100). We find that there is a negative relationship between penetration and tariffs. As penetration increases, that causes a negative effect to tariffs overall that tend to drop. Additionally, competition is also a significant constraint, with the strongest effect in the TR100 case. The highly competitive countries, with less concentrated competition converge to lower tariffs during the study's time period. GDP per capita adds a positive effect to both TR30 and TR100 cases, where the developed EU countries' users tend to express overall a willingness to pay more for the same speed and service. Most importantly, these countries should achieve faster their goals, since the subscribers' willingness to pay for high-speed service combined with competitive markets at the right service offerings in place, will foster the 2020 national broadband plan regarding ultrafast connectivity. TR100 forecasts were generated between 2019 and 2025 for a specific set of countries, where values converge into constant levels since most markets approach a saturation level.

欧盟 FTTH 关税演变的决定因素:面板数据分析

本研究旨在揭示一组与 FTTH 关税相关的重要因素,并在构建 2013 年至 2018 年间 28 个欧盟国家的数据集时,在不同欧盟国家之间可能区分它们,关税数据为 30-100 Mbps (TR30) 和 100+ Mbps (TR100)。我们发现渗透率和关税之间存在负相关关系。随着渗透率的提高,这会对整体关税产生负面影响,并趋于下降。此外,竞争也是一个重要的制约因素,在 TR100 案例中影响最大。在研究期间,竞争激烈、竞争不那么集中的国家趋于降低关税。人均 GDP 对 TR30 和 TR100 案例都产生了积极影响,其中发达的欧盟国家 总体而言,用户倾向于表示愿意为相同的速度和服务支付更多费用。最重要的是,这些国家应该更快地实现他们的目标,因为用户愿意为高速服务付费,再加上适当服务产品的竞争市场,将促进 2020 年关于超高速连接的国家宽带计划。TR100 预测是在 2019 年至 2025 年期间针对一组特定国家/地区生成的,由于大多数市场接近饱和水平,因此这些国家/地区的值会收敛到恒定水平。将促进 2020 年关于超高速连接的国家宽带计划。TR100 预测是在 2019 年至 2025 年期间针对一组特定国家/地区生成的,由于大多数市场接近饱和水平,因此这些国家/地区的值会收敛到恒定水平。将促进 2020 年关于超高速连接的国家宽带计划。TR100 预测是在 2019 年至 2025 年期间针对一组特定国家/地区生成的,由于大多数市场接近饱和水平,因此这些国家/地区的值会收敛到恒定水平。
