The place of the local authorities
in the telecom networks and services deployment
experiences and business models in Europe
Programme (PDF)

In several countries around the European Union, we are witnessing local and governments' increasing involvement in the conditions for deploying telecommunications networks and services in their areas. The question is, on the one hand, of taking care that the deployment of the networks and services (broadband access, 2G and 3G mobile, …) do not reinforce the handicaps of the most fragile zones by leaving out the whole sides of the territory which will not be covered by these new infrastructures, and on the other hand of thinking of the effective integration of the ICT in the various fields of intervention of the authorities (relations of the administration with the citizens, education and training, research, health, culture ...).
