(20) Modern, fibre-based internet networks are a crucial infrastructure for the future in terms of connectivity for European companies, in particular SMEs that want to use cloud computing in order to improve cost-efficiency. Regrettably, the deployment of fibre and ultra fast broadband connections in Europe remains unsatisfactory while other economies are moving ahead taking the global lead by offering significantly higher capacity and speeds of 1 Gbps and beyond.
