"Taking into account the inequality of the broadband market throughout Europe and the disappointing absorption capacity in this area, Mrs Tzavela pointed out that ‘basic broadband’ of at least 2 Mbps by 2013 in all 27 Member States, including 100% coverage, is a realistic goal. The ultimate goal for 2020 is 30 Mbps with 100% European coverage, and for 50% or more of European households to have subscriptions above 100 Mbps.
Another important point of this paper includes providing incentives to investors for rural and remote areas, as well as islands. Furthermore, while fibre optics will be the main platform capable of providing 100 Mbps, the document welcomes and promotes the use of complementary technologies such as fixed and mobile wireless, as well as satellite.
Unfortunately, the rapporteur is lobbying only one direction – the Internet. Providers are interested in that. Such a project is necessary, but with some stipulations and red lines. In case of European investments, radio, TV and the press will lose the ability to compete, and that will result in the loss of hundreds of thousands of jobs and bankruptcies within the mass media. Therefore, during the transitional period, the EU should draft a plan of investments in traditional mass media, prohibit use of the Internet for piracy and prevent dishonest competition. I abstained."@en1
