TL;DR: In this paper, a case-study of the Estonian entrepreneurial ecosystem is presented, showing that the most important contributors to the entrepreneurial ecosystem are the state through its infrastructure decisions and educational programs along with successful entrepreneurs who shape the role models known in Estonia today as the Skype-effect.
Abstract: The present paper aims to develop an understanding of interconnections between the entrepreneurial ecosystem and entrepreneurial opportunity. The first step of this research was to disclose the development of the ecosystem within two higher (efficiency- and innovation-driven) stages of economic development and the transition between them according to the World Economic Forum, based on the model by Dutch researcher Erik Stam. The Estonian entrepreneurial ecosystem was analyzed as an example. Secondary data on Estonian entrepreneurial ecosystems were collected and analyzed.In its second step, this research follows a case-study design. The start-up period of the studied Estonian companies represents different degrees of the maturity of the ecosystem: Regio and Mobi Solutions - efficiency-driven, GrabCAD - the transition from efficiency to innovation-driven, and Bolt (Taxify) - an innovation-driven economy.The example of the Estonian ICT sector proves that the most important contributors to the talent growth, the knowledge base, and framework conditions of the entrepreneurial ecosystem are the state through its infrastructure decisions and educational programs along with successful entrepreneurs who shape the role models known in Estonia today as the Skype-effect. Decisions on digital telecom infrastructure and e-society in the early stage of the transition in tandem with enterprise encouragement created a subsequent boom in ICT-based ventures in Estonia 10-15 years later. The processes resulted in achieving an innovation-driven society and the highest level of opportunity-driven entrepreneurship in Europe in 2017. With that, new venture funding has replaced the former development engine - foreign direct investment (FDI).Examples of ICT-based new ventures have demonstrated that the growing maturity of the ecosystem increased venture investment from “bootstrapping” to millions of euros of seed-funding and shortened new product development cycles from 5-7 to 1-3 years. The study shows that maturing ecosystems shorten business development processes, thereby increasing the integration of different ecosystems. The start-up success stories enhance trust in the particular business environment, and they both increase investments and accelerate the entry of new ventures, making better use of the emerging windows of opportunities.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors outline the most important studies and their key findings, including ICT productivity studies, econometric studies analysing the relationship between broadband infrastructure and economic development, and forward looking studies estimating the multiplier effects of telecom investments.
Abstract: Telecommunications investment has been identified as having a strong potential to spur economic growth and create employment. Investments in telecommunications infrastructure could not only provide a short-term boost to the economy, but also lay the groundwork for long-term improved growth and employment perspectives. Indeed, research findings indicate telecom investment has an impact far beyond the scope of the industry itself, promoting growth in adjacent industries and creating new industries. This paper outlines the most important studies and their key findings. It covers ICT productivity studies, econometric studies analysing the relationship between broadband infrastructure and economic development, and ‘forward looking’ studies estimating the multiplier effects of telecom investments. Most evidence indicates a strong and robust positive relationship between telecom investment and both, economic growth and employment. These results confirm investments in digital infrastructure may significantly contribute to improve long-term growth prospects.

TL;DR: An overview of NFV technology is presented, explaining its characteristics, enabling technologies, benefits, use cases and challenges, as well as its relationship with another emerging technology as Software Defined Networking (SDN).
Abstract: Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) has emerging as a networking technology from telecom industry to provide agility and flexibility in the deployment of network services and to reduce the Capital Expenditures (CAPEX) and the Operating Expenses (OPEX) by leveraging virtualization and cloud technologies. NFV decouples the software implementation of network functions from the underlying hardware, and it provides an abstraction of network functions such as: firewalls, deep packet inspectors, load balancers, among others, via software components that can run on general purpose devices that can be located in a variety of telecom infrastructure, including: data centers, network nodes, and end-user facilities. These Virtual Network Functions (VNFs) can easily be created, moved or migrated from one equipment to another without the need to install new specialized hardware, allowing a faster deployment of the services and providing innovation and a great number of opportunities for the world of networked systems. In this paper an overview of NFV technology is presented, explaining its characteristics, enabling technologies, benefits, use cases and challenges, as well as its relationship with another emerging technology as Software Defined Networking (SDN). The architectural framework and a list with more than 170 SND/NFV open-source projects are also provided, at the end it is described the Proof of Concepts (PoCs) and some research lines in this interesting research area.
