| Abstract: | 56K modems were introduced under two competing incompatible standards.
We show the importance of competition between Internet Service Providers
in the adoption process. We show that ISP's were less likely to adopt
the technology that more competitors adopted. This result is
particularly striking given that industry participants expected
coordination on one standard or the other. We speculate about the role
of ISP differentiation in preventing the market from achieving
standardization until a government organization intervened. |
