". – We are all excited at the way in which electronic communications and technology are put to use and their subsequent effects on our collective economies. The key question these days is not so much one of technology itself but how technology is used in a way which contributes to growth through improved productivity.
If we are to reap the real and tangible benefits from new and evolving information technologies we need to invest in the re-organisation of companies and in our administrative structures. One of the central elements of this investment relates to ensuring that new broadband facilities are available at every opportunity.
I am pleased to hear from the Commissioner for Information Technology Erkki Liikanen that the number of broadband connections doubled from 9 million in July 2002 to 17.5 million in July 2003. I very much support the goal of the European Commission that half of all Internet connections must be by broadband facility by the year 2005 within the European Union.
European Member State governments are also required to connect all public administrations to broadband usage by 2005. I very much support the eEurope initiative which focuses on promoting broadband usage and which concentrates on those areas where the public sector can make a difference."@en1
