DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/f16f68/europe_telecom_ins) has announced the addition of the "Europe Telecom Insider/Vol. 3, No 4, Edition 12 - Public-Private Partnerships Will Ensure Fiber Future in Europe" report to their offering.
The European Commission's Europe 2020 Strategy aims to bring broadband access to all by 2013, with partnerships between telecom and non-telecom players expected to drive nationwide broadband adoption across Europe, according to a new report.
Public-Private Partnerships Will Ensure Fiber Future in Europe asks how European governments can future-proof their networks and make the goal of universal broadband access within their national borders a reality. To answer the question, Pyramid Research examines several methods adopted by various European governments and then distills some best practices.
In line with the Europe 2020 agenda, EU27 countries are set to increase coverage and broadband access speeds, and through ICT stimulate the region's economic development, says Pyramid Research Analyst, Sylwia Boguszewska. There is 1.8bn available, and several new EU members are using these funds to extend broadband networks to rural/underserved areas. Partnerships between telecom and non-telecom players are the best way to ensure nationwide broadband adoption across Europe. For this reason, Pyramid Research expects this model to be the most adopted across the region over the next couple of years. National broadband plans play an important role in broadband development because they set targets for a country and allocate funds for network deployments, and aid in the deployment of networks in rural areas, Boguszewska adds.
