Abstract

Die deutsche Telekommunikationspolitik hat in den letzten 15 Jahren vor allem durch angebotsseitige De- und Re-Regulierung viel erreicht: Drastisch sinkende Preise, zusätzliche Auswahl für Verbraucher, abnehmende Marktkonzentrationen, innovative Dienste und neue Netze kennzeichnen heute die TK-Branche. Die angebotsorientierte Politik hat entscheidend dazu beigetragen, dass heute ein Großteil der deutschen Haushalte einen Breitbandinternetanschluss besitzt. Doch während die Verfügbarkeit von schnellen Internetanschlüssen weiter steigt, entwickelt sich deren Nutzung weniger spektakulär. Damit sich durch das Internet auch weiterhin Wachstumsimpulse für unsere Wirtschaft entfalten können, sollte die Telekommunikationspolitik zukünftig stärker die Nachfrageseite im Blick haben und Wachstumshemmnisse für Technologien wie Cloud Computing, E-Health und E-Learning beseitigen.
