利用从2000年第二季度到2001年第一季度对美国商业机构进行的季度调查收集的数据，该研究估计了宽带接入容量的商业需求的总体模型。主要目标是在企业决定采用某种形式的宽带接入的情况下，估计接入容量需求的价格弹性。研究发现：(1)平均而言，宽带接入容量的需求具有价格弹性；(2)不同规模的企业对价格的敏感度差异较大，其中小型企业对价格的敏感度最大；(3)估计的弹性对设计将宽带网络扩展到未服务地区的公共政策具有重要意义。
Using data garnered from a quarterly survey of U.S. business establishments from 2Q2000 through 1Q2001, the study estimates an aggregate model of business demand for broadband access capacity. The primary goal is to estimate price elasticities for the demand for access capacity conditional on a business establishment having made the decision to adopt some form of broadband access. The primary findings are (1) on average, the demand for broadband access capacity is price inelastic; (2) the sensitivity to price differs substantially across establishments of different sizes with small establishments exhibiting the greatest sensitivity to price; and (3) the estimated elasticities have important implications for public policies designed to extend broadband networks to unserved areas.
