"Madam President, Commissioner, I believe that it is very important for all of us specifically now, when we consider the debt crisis, to also think about how we will earn back the money that we are spending. We said that we would judge you on the results by 2014, how you manage to bring about the basic conditions, here in this most important of the European Union’s areas of responsibility, that will make us more competitive. You have my congratulations, as the hardware has improved dramatically across the globe in recent months and years, from smartphones to the iPad, from the copper plate to the fibreglass high-speed networks that offer quite a dramatic difference in capacity for surfing the net, to cloud computing, where we can see that demand is rising at extreme levels and that we, here in the European Union, have taken a pioneering role. You have my congratulations for that.
Ultimately it is about setting new standards, including in the field of software. If we talk of network neutrality today, what matters is the quality, the quantity, the priority and the performance with which work is performed in these networks. To achieve that, we need technical standardisation, as well as technical legislation. Europe has shown that, with software solutions and technical standards, great progress can be achieved. If, for example, we just take the GSM system: UMTS, LTE, the fourth generation networks – what will be next? We should be prepared for extreme growth in data volumes. I therefore also proposed in Roaming Dossier 3 that we should measure wholesale trade in terabytes rather than gigabytes – a level that consumers have already reached.
When it comes to content, too, there are numerous disagreements. If we take the debate on the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA), we can see that lifelong learning is also key for the user and that we need to do more research in this area. In other words, the business models that arise here, the emergency services and the social networks all have a claim for the frequencies to be found to enable them to do their work."@en1
