Comment Neelie (Kroes)
Making speeches talk
[...] You have all seen the political agreement on the EU Budget. Proposed funding for the digital “Connecting Europe Facility” was cut by over 8 billion euros; in practice not leaving enough room to invest in broadband. I am very disappointed: the Connecting Europe Facility was just one tool to help us reach our broadband goals, but an important one. And one that would have paid back, with interest.
