Abstract
Access to a fast and reliable broadband connection is of crucial importance to the economic and social development of an area. It is key to business competitiveness and social inclusion, providing the opportunity for equal access to a range of emerging technologies linked to business, public sector services, health and education. However across Europe 10% of premises in rural areas still do not have access to a fixed broadband network and only 41% are covered by any Next Generation Access (NGA) technology1. This policy brief presents a range of solutions identified
as part of the COnnecting Remote Areas (CORA) project. The project has explored how municipalities, stakeholders
and users can work together to and improve delivery of broadband infrastructure in remote areas.
