Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 2
2. Considers that the objective must be to establish EU global leadership in ICT infrastructure by 2013 by delivering 100 %, as a first step, 100 % basic broadband coverage, giving at least 2Mbps service to users in rural areas and 24Mbps in core cities; draws the Commission’s attention to the fact that, in order to counter the emergence of a digital divide, the definition of basic coverage in rural areas will need to be revised in future to take account of the new requirements created by the steadily increasing transmission rates for innovative Internet services, such as eGovernment, eHealth or eLearning;

Amendment 44 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 4
4. Highlights the need to make best use of complementary technologies to achieve broadband coverage in rural areas without undue burdens on consumers or the industryeconomically sustainable broadband coverage at affordable prices in rural areas; points out that, even at the current level of basic coverage, the use of the ‘digital dividend’ will not solve the problem of gaps in NGA networks in rural areas in the long term; believes, therefore, that it would be appropriate to give priority to the development of glass fibre- based broadband wherever it represents the most economic and sustainable solution in the long term;
