Comment Neelie (Kroes)

[...] You may have seen the recent outcome on the EU Budget. The Connecting Europe Facility would have been a major step towards our broadband goals. It would leverage tens of billions of euros in investment, and connect tens of millions of homes. This investment in high speed broadband would pay back for a competitive economy – and pay back the taxpayer, with interest. Skipping that massive opportunity is a big mistake: we can't afford that, not these days.
