Status on e-Inclusion measurement, analysis and approaches for improvement, February 2007
The objective of this study was to compile existing literature and evidence
(secondary research) on wide ‘social’ aspects of eInclusion in the EU (beyond
regional aspects of ICT network access). On this basis, areas were identified
for further exploration in support of EU cohesion and growth goals, evidence of
ICT socio-economic impact, eInclusion measurement, and efficiency of policy
actions. Finally, the study makes suggestions for policy improvement.

Interactive content and convergence: Implications for the Information Society, January 2007
According to the study, revenue from online content
is expected to reach €8.3 billion by 2010 in Europe, a growth of over
400% in five years. While assessing the potential of the emerging
creative content online market, the study found that although the market
is growing steadily, technological, economic and legal challenges –
notably intellectual property rights and interoperability – need to be
addressed for Europe to have faster market uptake. Based on a wide
consultation of stakeholders, it identified 36 existing or potential
roadblocks to developing online content and assesses their market impact
up to 2010.
