EU still lagging in fast broadband access
2013-06-12 12:08:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) The EU has made good progress on its basic broadband goals in the Digital Agenda, but needs to do more to ensure wider access to faster broadband speeds, the European Commission said. The latest score card for the Digital Agenda shows the EU has met 51 of 101 goals ahead of the deadline of 2015, including near universal access to basic broadband. Over half (54%) of EU residents can access broadband at speeds of over 30Mbps, and over a third (36%) use mobile internet over a phone or portable computer. The latter was helped by a tripling in LTE coverage in the past year to 26 percent of the population. However, only 2 percent of EU households have broadband at over 100 Mbps, versus a target of 50 percent by 2020. Half of EU residents also have little or no computer skills, with no improvement over the past year, the score card shows, and over one in five (22%) have never used the internet. Businesses also face a shortage of qualified ICT staff, with 40 percent reporting recruitment difficulties in this area. Other ares of progress include more people buying online, with 45 percent of EU residents using e-commerce, and more businesses and individuals using e-government, at respectively 87 percent and 44 percent.

Almost half Dutch consumers have, want 50+ Mbps broadband
2013-06-12 10:26:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) Almost half of Dutch consumers either already have or think they will soon need a broadband connection of 50Mbps or more. This is up from just over a quarter a year ago, according to research by Telecompaper. The increase is mainly caused by more people having a 50 Mbps connection, after some providers increased download speeds in the past year. A total 12 percent of consumers don't yet have at least 50Mbps broadband and expect to need it within the next two years, the Telecompaper survey on consumer broadband interests found. This suggests a potential market of 840,000 households for the faster broadband services, up from 700,000 a year ago. The proportion still uncertain whether they will ever need 50+ Mbps was stable compared to the same survey last year, at approximately a third of consumers. The report 'Dutch Consumer Connected 2013' is based on the Telecompaper Consumer Panel, an online survey conducted between March and May 2013 among almost 15,000 consumers aged 12-80.
