Dear Partners,

On Friday the European Commission launched a public consultation on Europe’s needs for Internet speed and quality beyond 2020 – available here.

The purpose of this public consultation is to assess and understand Europe’s connectivity needs better with a view to developing public policy to accompany the deployment of adequate and future-proof connectivity networks. We are asking about:

– current and future uses of Internet services and applications

– current and future connectivity needs

– views on connectivity-related public policy.

This public consultation will run until 7 December 2015. It is addressed to everyone (citizens, businesses, NGOs, public authorities, etc.) and every sector.

We encourage you to reply to the public consultation and to spread the word around you to anyone you think would be interested.

Thank you in advance,

European Commission
