"I abstained from voting on this report on the development of broadband in the Union which, while containing many references to competition and liberalisation of high-speed broadband services (a sector which is already too liberalised), also contains a number of positive proposals.
Among these was the commitment to provide the largest possible number of citizens with 100% broadband coverage by 2013 by strengthening public investment in infrastructure. This is indispensable, particularly for citizens living in isolated conditions. It is to be done while maintaining high-quality access and at affordable prices for users.
We can also note the proposal to ensure open-access connectivity to public infrastructure in order to guarantee the free movement of knowledge and to enhance online public services, the intention to guarantee net neutrality, the use of open standards, data protection and respect for citizens’ private lives, and, finally, the need to combat the digital divide, paying particular attention to the most vulnerable populations, such as people with disabilities, immigrants or people on low incomes.
Once again, we expect to see actions that go beyond words."@en1
