Over the years, IDATE has become one of Europe’s foremost centres of market analysis and debate, specialised in the telecommunications, internet and media industry markets.
The DigiWorld Programme was created several years back to support those Institute initiatives that embody the originality of this European forum for debate and experience-sharing which is at the heart of the “IDATE project”.

The choice of video games as the central theme is justified by the growth of its various markets. It is no longer a marginal sector in terms of size, nor limited to only a niche population. It is expanding in several directions which are both enhancing it and intertwining it with a number of ICT markets (digital entertainment, Web services, mobile services, e-training, …) – and so helping to further spur the momentum. |

This dossier presents several papers offering an original view point on the various issues raised by Next Generation Networks. NGN is a term that is being increasingly used to describe the latest state-of-the-art networking platforms, which service providers are either developing or are using today. The industries have been riding the NGN wave, but at the same time have to square up some inescapable key issues, among them the evolution of the regulatory approaches, the adaptation of the business models, the effects on the competition patterns and the impact on the whole telecom industry. |

This issue is devoted almost entirely to the topic of European frequency management policies. For some years now, managing this scarce resource has been the topic not only of lengthy debate but also the focus of works by economists and of considerable innovation in the arena of practical application. The editors have sought to gather original contributions that will provide industry and institutional leaders with food for thought. |

André Malraux said that "cinema is an art form, but it is also an industry". The duality of the cultural industries remains, but is becoming increasingly complex as the digitisation phenomenon undoes the need for physical media. We invite our readers who are especially familiar with the issues of network economics not to stop at the increasingly ambiguous border between the containers and the content, and to take full advantage of these contributions, while also enjoying the regular sections in the journal. |

In this issue we have moved away from the mainly economic questions usually covered by our journal in favour of a dossier that examines usage. The Editors have selected research presentations made at a recent seminar on this topic for publication. The dossier is accompanied by an interview with Roger Silverstone conducted by David Osimo of IPTS. Following on from this dossier are two important articles that reflect the extent of ongoing changes in the telecommunications industry. |

Triple play offers a concrete illustration of the convergence between telecommunications, the internet and the media industry. It consequently raises a large number of questions regarding the strategies of various industry players and the viability of their business models, as well as regulatory frameworks and antitrust policies. This issue's Dossier provides a range of contributions that tackle these major questions. Following on from the Dossier are two papers chosen from a selection of the best contributions presented at the EURO CPR conference held in March in Seville. |

The massive increase in Internet traffic (of between 40% and 60% a year) is being sustained primarily by a huge increase in video viewing which, in all its forms, could account for 90% of all online traffic three years from now. It was with this effervescent market rife with unanswered questions in mind that we wanted to bring together several articles that would help sketch out what could be the new outlines of the television industry. |
