Summary

This report examines the status of the Digital Agenda for Europe (DAE) in the 28 European Union Member States (EU-28) with respect to objectives 2 and 3: respectively full coverage for >30 Mbps connections and 50% coverage and take-up for >100 Mbps and higher.

The study highlights the diverse contrast between the countries according to the threshold of 100 Mbps. The situation is quite different for Superfast broadband ( 100 Mbps). The analysis shows by the way that customers willingness to subscribe to broadband network do increase with the speed. The higher is the proposed bit rate, the higher is in general the penetration.
