Even though new technology has competitive advantage, it still requires time to acquire market share. Even though fibre-optic is leading in the market, alternative technologies have also garnered significant market share in the early stage. Specifically, HFC has gained its own market position, making it a valuable alternative in the short term. Nonetheless, the market will eventually converge to fibre-optics. <\/jats:p>\n            <\/jats:sec>\n            <jats:sec>\n               <jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Originality\/value<\/jats:title>\n               <jats:p> \u2013 The findings show that inter-platform competition does not always exert positive influence on broadband adoption as indicated in previous literature. Instead, the influence may vary from negative to neural. This information is an important knowledge addition to the literature. Overall, the study has important implications to governmental effort in managing market competitions and in planning national broadband infrastructure policies. It also provides valuable implications on how ISPs should strategize their investment in new broadband technologies.<\/jats:p>\n            <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1108\/imds-09-2015-0394","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,6,29]],"date-time":"2016-06-29T14:48:49Z","timestamp":1467211729000},"page":"1223-1241","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Analysis of the dynamic broadband technology competition"],"prefix":"10.1108","volume":"116","author":[{"given":"Sun Me","family":"Choi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Siew Fan","family":"Wong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Younghoon","family":"Chang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Myeong-Cheol","family":"Park","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"140","reference":[{"key":"key2020121403470237500_b1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Aron, D.J.\n                and \n                  Burnstein, D.E.\n                (2003), \u201cBroadband adoption in the United States: an empirical analysis\u201d, in \n                  Shampine, A.L.\n                (Ed.), \n                  Down to the Wire: Studies in the Diffusion and Regulation of Telecommunications Technologies\n               , available at: http:\/\/ssrn.com\/abstract=386100;
