This article provides a critical examination of telecommunications regulation in the EU and argues for the need for change along the lines of subsidiarity and mediation. This discussion is particularly timely, as the European Commission is working on a new telecommunications regulatory framework, with the lessons and failures of the past appearing more critical than ever. In this context, this ...

The evolution of telecommunications systems towards complex 5G networks implies changes on many levels. In this paper, we concentrate on the management landscape of current and future networks, unfolding a vision of advanced analytics and machine learning approaches to mitigate the unavoidable complexity of future networks. We explore proficient Deep Learning mechanisms and Cognitive Frameworks...

Teleradiology consists of a set of added-value telematic services, implemented over an advanced telecommunications infrastructure and supported by different information technologies and related applications. The main goal of teleradiology is to provide different levels of support for remote diagnostic imaging procedures. This paper considers technological advances in this important area, includ...

This paper focuses on the evolution of productivity in the telecommunications industries for 13 OECD countries over the period 1979-1998. It uses Data Envelopment Analysis, a non-parametric approach that allows decompositions of changes in productivity into variations in efficiency and technical change. Moreover, it tests the existence of convergence in labor and total factor productivity level...

SET the Brazilian Society for Television Engineering has been studying the topic and has been following up closely on the work done in other countries and by ITU. In 2013, it provided the Ministry of Communications and Anatel (Brazilian Telecommunications Regulatory Agency) with extensive interaction with companies and regulators from countries as the United Kingdom, Japan, and Germany. It also...
