Governed by Technology? Urban Management of Broadband and 3G Systems in Sweden 71 Governed by Technology? Urban Management of Broadband and 3G Systems in Sweden Jenny Palm and Elin Wihlborg WEDEN is often ranked highly in international compari- sons of information technology (IT) and mobile phone Spenetration, and its infrastructure for electronic com- munication is good and is continuously improving. An historical comparison of telecommunications, railways, post, and road infra- structures in Sweden shows a dominant characteristic of state responsibility substituting for local and private interests. Kaijser argues that this regime is so strong that it can be regarded as the Swedish model. Now, specific policies addressing the information society have been integrated into this regime. Thus, any discussion of Swedish policies regarding the information society will have general implications. The two most recent IT infrastructural changes—broadband and third-generation mobile phones (3G)—have been organized differently at the national level in Sweden and thus also implemented differently at the local (urban and rural) level. The spatial-based system of broadband is seen as a municipal respon- sibility, while the flexible and mobile system for 3G-telephone systems is mainly market-focused. This article focuses on the interplay between how techno- logical innovations are
