The Gigabit Infrastructure Act (GIA) introduces a set of actions to simplify and speed up the deployment of very high-capacity networks, such as fibre and 5G, by reducing the administrative burden and the costs of deployment. The full availability of gigabit networks and the rollout of 5G performant networks in all populated areas are key elements to support the digital transition of the European economy and society, as set out in the EU's digital transition targets for 2030, the Digital Decade policy programme.
