A first-class internet for Europe

Today is a big day for the Digital Agenda I am in charge of implementing – today we move from our goals and vision into concrete action.

I am announcing three complementary measures that have been agreed by the European Commission:
1. a common regulatory approach for access to new high-speed fibre networks (NGA Recommendation)
2. proposing a 5-year policy programme for radio spectrum to ensure that wireless broadband can play its full role in our internet future
3. a plan for how best to encourage private and public investment in fast and ultra-fast broadband networks.

In policy-making it is rare to find an issue and agree a programme that delivers something for everyone – improving our internet really is one of those rare instances. For consumers it’s about putting the digital world at your fingertips whether that’s shopping online, getting connected while travelling or being able to see a doctor no matter where you are located.  For people in rural and remote areas our plan will mean communities get connected in ways that simply weren’t imaginable just a few years ago: we’re serious about delivering on our targetof Broadband for All.
