Description
The project concerns the roll-out of a converged fixed-mobile broadband telecommunications network by the 3rd largest mobile operator in Spain, to increase market competition.
Objectifs
Access to efficient telecommunications in a competitive environment is an important factor contributing to economic growth and development. Despite the achievements to date, considerable investment is still needed to further improve mobile broadband telecommunication services in Spain, including their range, quality and affordability. The project contributes to the policy objective of furthering the “Information Society” through the supply of advanced broadband services both on mobile and fixed platforms. The project thus contributes to the renewed Lisbon Strategy, bringing the country close to the 30% high-speed broadband penetration rate target. The expansion of a converged fixed and mobile broadband telephony network is in line with the Lisbon Agenda as well as with the Bank’s i2i strategy.
