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.
