[Air-l] Model/Framework for studying Internet user behaviour in broadband environment

[Frank Thomas]

Yogesh,

it is not clear whether you will study domestic, or private, or 
business, or public, or educational, or research, or associative, or 
collective users and their behaviour. There is quite a lot of research 
on domestic use (which is often confounded with private use) and 
professional/business use (which is often confounded with use at the 
office).

A good start is bibliography established by Leslie Haddon: where the 
domestication theory coined by Silverstone & Haddon receives an 
important place, of course:

A running European research program, eLiving,  includes an empirical 
analysis of Broadband uses:

Anderson, B., Gale, C., Jones, M., and McWilliam, A. (2002) 
Domesticating Broadband: what 'consumers' really do with flat rate, 
always on and fast Internet access. BT Technology Journal, Vol 20, 
Number 1. pp103-114 <http://www.btexact.com/ideas/papers?doc=72736>. 
January 2002.

What about diffusion research?

You should be more specific to get more precise answers.

Good luck,
