Pripravljenost slovenskih internetnih uporabnikov za priklop in plačilo za uporabo optičnega omrežja
Abstract
There is a lack of demand for next generation access (NGA) networks in both the EU and Slovenia. This paper examines the factors that influence the willingness to connect to and pay for the use of fibre optic networks, which are among the most technologically advanced NGA networks. The results of the analysis for Slovenia show that the presence of a student in the household, employment and quality of service have a significant impact on the willingness to connect to a fibre optic network and pay extra for it. The results of the analysis are useful for broadband service providers to design packages or adapt existing packages to accelerate the migration of users to fibre networks.
