"This report aims to evaluate both the provision of the European emergency number 112, and developments in relation to universal access to broadband.
The rapporteur supports the Digital Agenda’s ‘broadband for all’ objectives, taking the view that universal access to broadband will improve social inclusion, create new opportunities for businesses and stimulate employment, just as she supports the emergency number and universal service.
We believe that universal service is important, such as the European emergency number 112. However, for this to be more efficient, it needs to be more widespread and of better quality, which requires special measures, as only 26% of the population is aware of this emergency number.
However, as we noted in the debate in plenary, this must not serve to increase social exclusion, as there are about 100 million people at risk of poverty, with poor access to new technology.
Concrete measures and action need to be considered so as to enable access for everyone, regardless of circumstance, to the emergency number, broadband and all new information technologies."@en1
