The first Transatlantic Dialogue was held in conjunction with the IDATE Conference on November 22nd 2005 in Montpellier, France. The dossier of this issue is based on the papers presented at this seminar. In this issue we concentrate on events in the United States as compared to Europe. We were particularly fortunate to have the cooperation and support of the Columbia Institute of Tele-Information (CITI), Columbia University, the University of Colorado and the International Telecommunications Society to help pull together the program and papers for this event. |

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 enthusiasm for Web 2.0 demonstrated in recent months - both by daily visits to such sites on the part of millions of consumers and the value of certain transactions - raises several questions regarding the business models that are likely to make Web 2.0 a lasting phenomenon, changes in communication practices, as well as its impact on the strategy of traditional media players in advertising, software and telecommunications. This dossier presents several papers offering an original view point on the various issues raised by Web 2.0. |

The payment industry has effectively seen significant growth, in which the ICT sector has undoubtedly played a major part. The recent growth of electronic commerce in particular has led various market players to gradually introduce methods of payment that enhance transaction flow. This development has modified competition conditions in the payment industry insofar as traditional banks are facing growing competition from non-banking companies. This issue propose original contributions that promote discussion and analysis of the key questions facing this industry. |

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. |

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.

The state of deep crisis in which the global economy finds itself makes it all the more necessary to take stock of what has changed and what will appear as radically new once the crisis is over. This is why it struck us as particularly relevant to shed some light on the matter with a special dossier comprised of works that address the topics of Open innovation and Open platform strategies.

Since 2006, mobile services have accounted for more than half of the total telecom services revenue in the world. Does this mean we have an industry that has reached maturity, and which will remain governed chiefly by regulatory provisions and structural shifts? Or is this a relative maturity, behind which is taking shape a new era of innovation for consumers, but also of uncertainty for industry's main players? What are the common features and the differences between the huge transformation of the wireline telephony market spurred by increasingly ubiquitous broadband and VoIP, and what is starting to take place with high-speed mobile access and the mobile Internet?

This issue of C&S is devoted to analysis of the impacts of information and communications technologies (ICTs) on the environment in general, and more particularly on global warming and climate change. It is widely recognised that ICTs are important users of electrical energy and have direct impacts on climate change via their use of electrical energy generated from fossil fuels. Overall ICTs have made major strides in reducing their use of electricity and are among the most efficient devices in terms of performance / electricity use ratios, accounting for 2-3% of total energy use.

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. |

Many carriers around the world are investing in high bit rate broadband infrastructure. It is common sense among experts that an FTTH network infrastructure will be the most capable and reliable network infrastructure for Next Generation Access.
This dossier presents the views of experienced authors who develop their thoughts on how Europe can close its current gap in fibre development and investment. We also have included papers on case studies on successful fibre projects in Europe. Furthermore, we present papers which will analyse the national broadband plans which have been developed by some European Governments to foster the deployment of NGA.

Around the world, the rapid spread of mobile phones is being followed by their use as a tool for financial transactions and the creation of "mobile money" in "electronic wallets". The cell phone serves as a bank account, debit card, and money. This has many implications. |

All over the world, internet access is becoming a societal expectation expressed towards the electronic communications industry and the public authorities which regulate this industry. As our personal and professional lives become ever more digitalised, broadband access is becoming the key to full participation in this digital life and future economic growth. Societal e-inclusion implies the widest possible availability of broadband access.
The papers presented in this issue illustrate different aspects of this growing demand. |

Cybercrime, cyberterrorism, and cyberwar are apocalyptic horsemen of the information age. Business leaders regularly name information security as the biggest challenge facing them in the future. Information security breaches entail direct and indirect costs to businesses and individuals that are affected and to society at large. [...]
This special issue aims to contribute to a blossoming field that has changed our understanding of security issues. The papers in this special issue reflect state-of-the art thinking on the economics of cybersecurity and responses by public policy and non-governmental action. |

Competition policies which are fostered by Bruxelles and the EU member states regarding the telecom sector have always been associated with the prospect of a single market for telecommunications within the European Union: What is today’s situation? Have we made the right choices? What are the remaining barriers? What is the new perspective of this issue in the Internet era? |

The papers presented in this issue shadow the diversity of approaches related to ICT implementation within the health system. They point out also the specificity of the sector. The particular position of health within our economies, the weight of public financing, the role of public authorities in the decision process to launch a new product and change health delivery systems, the vital issue of improved outcomes for users of health services, and the specific relationship between them and healthcare professionals: all of these issues help to explain why the health sector is often “late” in terms of ICT penetration. Development of the ICT health market and applications are very much related to the value perceived by each of the numerous stakeholders. |

What are the minimum regulatory tools needed to ensure an acceptable level of net neutrality while giving network operators flexibility to innovate and manage their networks? Act I of the debate resembled a war of religion, each side rejecting out of hand the other's philosophy. In Act II, market actors have understood that neutrality is not a binary topic and that the subject must be addressed in a collective and collaborative way for the sake of achieving economic and social efficiency. The debate has progressively shifted and focused on several key issues that are essential to the design of a well-functioning neutrality: (i) traffic management, (ii) IP interconnection arrangements, (iii) transparency, (iv) price differentiation and markets for enhanced quality, and (v) the setting up a suitable regulatory framework. Such are the main stakes of "Net Neutrality: Act II" and the focus of this special issue of COMMUNICATIONS & STRATEGIES. |

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. |
