Abstract:
The worldwide broadband demand is increasing. However, often the research regards the demand for a better broadband availability and higher broadband connection speeds on the base of residential broadband demand, whereas the need for higher bandwidths and estimation of the broadband performance of enterprises are mostly unconsidered. Since only a few market analyses explicitly include the broadband requirements of companies, these requirements have been given little attention in Germany up to now. To deepen the research-based knowledge about the needs of enterprises regarding the usage of broadband connections, a survey of enterprises in Germany (with focus on the Rhein-Main area) has been performed. Based on the analysis, the broadband performance, which are available for enterprises, with special regard of the received broadband connection speeds and the price-performance ratio, this study, shows that the satisfaction of companies depends in particular on the extent to which broadband access covers their future needs and less on the current situation.
