"I endorsed the report. I think that development and investment in the field of broadband technology can have considerable significance for accomplishment of the competitiveness strategy which is part of the Europe 2020 initiative. The need to increase access to fast Internet, as well as to increase its mobility and capacity, are key issues for around 500 million European consumers. This is an exceptional number on a world scale, and it includes users of all types: consumers, businesses, administrative authorities and public benefit organisations, which reap the benefits of the Internet both in professional and in private life. It should be remembered that rapid deployment of broadband networks is essential to boost innovation and EU efficiency and to stimulate new small and medium-sized enterprises and job creation in the EU. The benefits of the roll-out of infrastructure in this area have a very positive impact in the context of increasing access to education, and particularly to distance learning in the outermost areas. I think there is a need for publications on investing in broadband networks, particularly for public-private partnerships and local and regional authorities, in order to ensure the best grassroots use of EU resources allocated for this purpose. Further development can also be a great opportunity for projects which promote dialogue between the citizens and the institutions of the European Union."@en1
