Three complementary initiatives to accelerate the roll-out and take up of fast and ultra fast internet in the EU were announced by the European Commission on the 20 September 2010. These measures will aim to help the EU achieve the commitment in the Digital Agenda for Europe that every European should have access to a basic broadband by 2013, to fast broadband by 2020 with half of European households having access to ultra-fast broadband by 2020. The three measures comprise a Communication on promoting investment in broadband networks, a Commission Recommendation on Regulated access to Next Generation Access (NGA) networks and a proposal to establish a Radio Spectrum Policy Programme whereby Member States would ensure inter alia that spectrum was available for wireless broadband. Senior European telecoms executives reacted coolly to the proposals on regulating the next generation of broadband internet networks, warning that excessive regulation could make large-scale investments less likely. |
