Soon, Pan-European broadband high speed networks

With the emergence of integrated broadband communications, new technologies will alter the cost of traditional telecoms services; as a result, it will be cheaper for businesses and consumers to use communications more extensively. This can lead to a dramatic change in the structure of the communications industry as we know it today and to changes in other industries, including the broadcasting, information services, and information product businesses. The pricing for higher bandwidth services will not be much more expensive than narrowband services by the late 1990s; traditional distinctions between telecoms and broadcast services will disappear.<>
