lpv:translated text	"One hundred and twenty years ago, Thomas Edison said: ‘Electrical lighting will be so cheap that only the very rich will use candles for lighting.’ These days only the very rich can afford not to have a mobile telephone number or an e-mail address. In the absence of these, these days it would be very difficult to apply for a job, and it would be hopeless to try to start a business. The creation of the information society is not just a means, but also an indispensable precondition of growth and employment. We must ensure development in all areas at the same time, in a rapid and flexible manner: We must build networks even in areas where this would not be profitable purely on the basis of the market. This must be included in our cohesion policy. We must provide the population with affordable access to networks. The market will undertake to do this, if we do not place unnecessary obstacles in its way. We must provide high standard, safe content. This involves up-to-date training, innovation, research and development, and undoubtedly a more efficient protection of intellectual rights. If we had waited for too long to switch on electricity, the candle wax would have burnt our fingers. If we delay the issues relating to the information society much longer, the globalised ICT economy will be only too pleased to overtake us. We must take action urgently."@en1
