More and better internet connectivity requires investments in high speed and quality networks

At work, at home or on the move, Europeans expect an internet connection that is fast and reliable. Encouraging investments in very high-capacity networks is increasingly important for all sectors but in particular for education, healthcare, manufacturing or transport. All main socio-economic drivers will need access to extremely high – gigabit – connectivity at every corner of the EU. These objectives can only be achieved with massive investments, mainly from private sources, but also some support will be needed from public sources.
