Including a qualitative methodology and in depth focus groups with over 200 companies, The Impact of Fibre Connectivity on SMEs provides a detailed, in depth, analysis to challenge conventionally held beliefs in the value of subsidy and policy pressure in the deployment of such projects. With focus on regional development in the UK as well as exploration of the wider EU context, the book presents a genuine insight into the technology adoption and technology provision. Andy Phippen is Professor of Social Responsibility in IT at Plymouth Plymouth Business School, Plymouth University, UK. He has conducted empirical research into the relationship between technology and public engagement for over 15 years, including work into public trust in online systems, young people and privacy, and the impact of technologies in rural locations. Hazel Lacohée undertakes qualitative research on behalf of BT TSO within the People and Behaviours Research team. She joined BT in 1998 and is responsible for providing insight regarding the commercial, socio-economic and customer impact of ICT applications and systems. Hazel obtained an ESRC funded PhD in Psychology from the University of Bristol in 1996 and her current work concerns the impact of NGA for Businesses and Consumer. 000778069 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (viewed February 16, 2017) 000778069 650_0 $$aBroadband communication systems$$xEconomic aspects. 000778069 7001_ $$aLacohée, Hazel,$$eauthor. 000778069 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aPhippen, Andy.$$tImpact of Fibre Connectivity on SMEs.$$dCham : Springer International Publishing : Imprint: Palgrave Macmillan, 2017$$z3319475533$$z9783319475530$$w(OCoLC)958354238 000778069 830_0 $$aPalgrave pivot. 000778069 852__ $$bebk 000778069 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-319-47554-7$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000778069 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:778069$$pGLOBAL_SET 000778069 980__ $$aEBOOK 000778069 980__ $$aBIB 000778069 982__ $$aEbook 000778069 983__ $$aOnline 000778069 994__ $$a92$$bISE
