| NOTAS: | "Ofcom has today published a report for the Government on the coverage, take-up, usage, price and choice of fixed and mobile broadband services in the UK, relative to other European countries.
The ‘European Broadband Scorecard’ was proposed by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport, to allow the Government to measure progress towards its ambition that the UK should have the best superfast broadband network of any major European country by 2015.1
Ofcom has agreed to collate and publish the Scorecard, using the most robust, comparable and up-to-date data available. The Scorecard focuses on the UK’s position within the European Union’s five leading economies – the ‘EU5’: France, Germany, Italy and Spain and the UK.2
The UK generally performs well among major European economies. On all measures of coverage, take-up, usage, price and choice, the country ranks between third and first in the EU5." |
