NEWS ARTICLE
Good practice website on broadband rollout : survey launched (27
September 2006)The Information Society and Media Directorate General and
the IANIS+ project have just launched a survey to assess the interest
from local and regional authorities in a good practice web site on
broadband rollout (Virtual Broadband Exchange). The web site could act
as a repository for regional/local plans/initiatives and calls for
tender for broadband infrastructure and services, facilitate information
on relevant EU policies and regulation, ease the sharing of experiences
on broadband deployment, procurement strategies, provide examples of
Public-Private Partnerships (PPP), and facilitate collaboration with
other public authorities in aggregating broadband demand particularly in
remote and rural areas. IANIS+ (Innovative Actions Network for the
Information Society) is an Innovative Action project coordinated by
eris@ (The European Regional Information Society Association).
