(Telecompaper) Spain's President Mariano Rajoy has announced a new project, dubbed "Plan 300x100", to bring fibre-optic broadband access to all localities and 95 percent of the population by 2021 in a total investment of EUR 525 million. Although significant private investment from Telefonica, Vodafone, Orange and Masmovil has helped Spain create Europe's largest fibre to the home (FTTH) network, already covering 76 percent of the country's population (more than Germany, the UK and Italy combined), the government has now committed to bringing fast broadband to all underserved areas as well as 300Mbps fibre to all population centres over the next 4 years.
