✦ Synopsis

Colin Turner's ground-breaking study examines the importance of these networks within the EU and questions their role in promoting economic regeneration and renewal in Europe. Examining the nature of telecommunication networks and the rationale for the development of trans-European networks, the study explores the features networks need to exhibit if they are to complement the broad themes of Europe's industrial policy, and demonstrates the economic importance of advanced telecommunications to business.
