Reports and Studies about Digital Scoreboard

This study is designed to monitor the progress of EU Member States towards their specific broadband coverage objectives: 'Universal Broadband Coverage with speeds at least 30 Mbps by 2020' and 'Broadband Coverage of 50% of households with speeds at least 100 Mbps by 2020'. The collected data shows that over 219 million EU households (99.9%) had access to at least one of the main fixed or mobile broadband access technologies at the end of June 2017 (excluding satellite).

High performance and reliable networks will be the core of Europe’s Digital Single Market (DSM). Increasingly, convergence of fixed and mobile networks (FMC) will form their basic foundation, essential for the next generation of 5G networks, to support broadband services, both fixed and mobile.

The Telecoms chapters of the Digital Economy and Society Index (DESI) report on telecom market and regulatory developments in each Member State, looking at the respective competitive environment, the measures taken to support the deployment and investment in high speed networks, the regulatory function as well as consumer matters including roaming and net neutrality.

The Digital Economy and Society Index (DESI) for 2018 reports on the latest progress within the European Union on a raft of key performance indicators. These indicators include Connectivity, Digital Skills, Digital Public Services, and more.

The latest data on broadband indicators have been collected by the European Commission (Communications Networks, Content and Technology Directorate General) from national ministries and regulatory authorities.

Indicators on fixed and mobile telephony, broadcasting and bundle, together with financial indicators on telecom data, are available in this files.

This study provides comprehensive data on the 2016 retail prices of fixed broadband offers for consumers in the EU28, Iceland, Norway, Japan, South Korea, Canada and the USA.

The Broadband Coverage in Europe study is designed to monitor the progress of EU Member States towards their specific broadband coverage objectives, i.e. ‘Universal Broadband Coverage with speeds at least 30 Mbps by 2020’ and ‘Broadband Coverage of 50% of households with speeds at least 100 Mbps by 2020’.

EDPR reports combine the quantitative evidence from (DESI) with country-specific policy insights, allowing us to keep track of the progress made in terms of digitalisation by each Member State and providing an important feedback loop for policy-making at EU level. The telecom country chapters reports on telecom market and regulatory developments in each Member State, looking at the respective competitive environment, the measures taken to facilitate network deployment, as well as consumer issues including roaming and net neutrality.
