Dialogic has conducted research on behalf of the provinces of Overijssel, Gelderland, Noord-Brabant, and the Ministry of Economic Affairs into the economic effects of digital marketplaces.
The research aims to provide an overview of the role and economic importance of so-called digital marketplaces. These are organizations that offer users of a -usually local- open fibre optic network the opportunity to choose from any service provider connected to the marketplace in a neutral manner. Although users can also freely choose service providers via the public internet, a marketplace has the advantage that the connection takes place at a different technical level (Ethernet VLANs), allowing for connections of much higher quality. This is important for demanding services, such as connecting company branches, VoIP telephony, remote backup, and so on.
