Comment Neelie (Kroes)

Making speeches talk

excerpt from: Building a connected continent

[...] ICT is definitely one of those opportunities. I'm very clear about that. Soon, broadband infrastructure could support everything we do: from flexible business services, to smarter living environments, to better healthcare. As such it could help fix many of Europe's current challenges: supporting competitiveness, jobs, and better public services.

As long as the broadband infrastructure reaches every European citizen and not just those in the towns and cities. It will lead to all the things you mention, once its available. Currently it isn't.
