Draft opinion
Paragraph 2
Paragraph 2
2. Underlines that progress in the building of the European Gigabit Society can only be made with appropriate high levels of investment in network infrastructure in all the Member States; doubts whether financing models based only or primarily on investment funds will be sufficient to upgrade infrastructure where necessary and will help fill existing gaps in the level of development of network infrastructure, and even out differences in the availability of high- capacity internet connections in border and outlying areas, as well as in non-urban areas; highlights in this respect the added value of blending of financial instruments to trigger the necessary additional private investments;

Paragraph 6
6. Strongly supports efforts towards ensuring access to the 5G network in public transport facilities and vehicles, in transport hubs and on all major transport routes by 2025, and expects that a full access all over the EU will follow; notes the important role of internet technology for the development of multimodal, user- friendly and safe infrastructure and transport services;
Amendment 92 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 6
Paragraph 6
6. Notes that sector players should benefit from a level playing field and should enjoy the flexibility to design their own networks, choosing their investment model and the most appropriate technology, including fibre-to-the-home (FTTH), Wi-Fi, G.fast, 2G, cable, satellite, novel 5G technologies such as Massive MIMO or any other rapid development technologies that will help connect all Europeans to VHC networks;
