STRATEGY FOR THE INFORMATION SOCIETY DEVELOPMENT 2020. • Ultra-fast broadband access (100 Mbit/s or more) ⇒ usage: 50% households by 2020. It is necessary to construct electronic communication networks that will enable broadband access at high speed. The transport section of these networks should be implemented through fiber optic cables, to the greatest extent possible. All the available technologies should be used to ensure the broadband access, bearing in mind that no technology alone can provide the accessibility of the broadband services for all the citizens. In order to ensure the broadband coverage at the reasonable financial expenses, it is necessary to implement the optimal combination of the technologies for different geodemographic conditions, and particularly encourage the construction of the NGA networks (FTTx, DOCSIC 3.x) and the development of the mobile networks of the fourth generation (LTE). In order to make a significant step forward regarding the availability of the broadband Internet at high speed, it is necessary to increase the investment in the NGA networks and expand the NGA networks to suburban and some rural areas. In this context, the development of NGA cable networks based on FTTx and DOCSIS 3.x is of particular significance. Also, by implementing new methods/technologies targeted at the increase in access speed, due to its wide presence in the access infrastructure, copper wires may remain an important medium for the delivery od the broadband services for a long time. It is necessary to create the conditions for the unhampered construction of the modern electronic communication networks, by way of enhancing investition, adequate planning, simplifying administrative procedures for issuing of the necessary permits and consents for the construction of electronic communication networks. It is also important to secure necessary radio-frequency resources for the development of the electronic communication networks. Also, it is important to create the conditions for the expenses reduction for the construction of the NGA networks, by way of ensuring the common use of the existing electronic communication infrastructure, the availability of the electronic communication infrastructure information (the registry of the lines, the base of the electronic communication infrastructure, the mapping of the broadband availability and the broadband speed) and the public construction works (the single information point on public works), the coordination of the operations and the construction of the facilities for the fast and ultra-fast Internet access.
