(4) Support of this kind should encourage entities with a public mission such as public authorities and providers of public services to offer free local wireless connectivity free of charge and free from restrictions as an ancillary service to their public mission so as to ensure that local communities can experience the benefits of very high-speed broadband in the centres of public life. Such entities could include municipalities and other local public authorities, libraries and hospital, companies owned by municipalities, not-for-profit co- operatives and other local public authorities and cultural spaces, such as libraries and museums, as well as schools, hospitals and health centres.

Recital 9
(9) Due to the limited reach of any single local wireless access point and the small value of individual projects covered, access points benefitting from financial assistance under this Regulation are not expected to challenge commercial offers. In order to further ensure that such financial assistance does not unduly distort competition, crowd out private investments or create disincentives for private operators to invest, the intervention should be limited to projects that do not duplicate already existing private or public offers of similar characteristics in the same area. This should not exclude additional support to deployments under this initiative from public or private sources of funding. This Regulation should not extensively distort market-based competition.
