Studie - E-homecare and ISPs

As health service costs soar and broadband access providers explore new means of generating revenues, a buzz is brewing around how to use ICT to increase efficiency in the home healthcare market. The market players are scrambling to position their organisations for this potential market. This report focuses on e-homecare markets and e-homecare’s relevance to and impact on broadband access providers. ISPs should be cautious about viewing e-homecare as a premium services market — they should still develop a market strategy, but focus on expanding the access subscriber base as the users of e-homecare products are less likely to be existing broadband subscribers.
