With the Lisbon Agenda the European Council has set ambitious goals
for 2010, namely to make the Community the most dynamic
knowledge-based economy in the world. This goal clearly indicates that
the Council, the Commission and the European Parliament are fully
aware of the high economic, political and social relevance of
information and communi- tion technology, including modern digital
services whose broad availab- ity is desirable from the perspective of
all major users groups: Firms, private households and government
agencies. The Commission indeed has emphasized that the i2010 project
is a major pillar of the policies with a focus on the Lisbon Agenda:
Creating faster broadband networks in the EU and providing more
diversified and more high-quality services at the same time will
indeed be crucial for the Union if the growth potential of modern
eCommunications is to be fully exploited. Naturally, the telec-
munications sector evolution has to be discussed in the context of the
overall expansion dynamics of the information and communication te-
nology (ICT) sector. At the same time the competition policy framework
will affect digital dynamics in OECD countries. In the EU the
interplay between supranational regulations and national regulations
is quite imp- tant for the development of the telecommunications
sector. This sector is subject to regulation for which the EU has
created a framework in 2003 which is up for review in 2006.
