This paper examines the challenges and progress in meeting the European Gigabit Society's (EGS) targets for high-speed broadband networks and explores the implications of the new targets set for the Digital Decade (DD). With a focus on the availability of gigabit connectivity and 5G networks,...

This paper uses an estimation model to calculate the investment gap that needs to be covered to meet the objectives set by the European Commission in the context of the European Gigabit Society (EGS) regarding gigabit networks availability. It analyses the evolution of this gap between mid-2017...

This paper investigates the high-speed broadband situation in the EU and its prospects. Then it uses a deployment model to estimate the investment required in order to meet the European Gigabit Society (EGS) broadband targets set by the European Commission, aiming at ensuring the availability...
