3. Introduction To enjoy sustainable economic and social benefits, it is of utmost importance that advanced broadband networks and applications are available to all European business and consumers according to the European growth strategy “Europe 2020”. This is in line with the ambitious high-speed targets of the Digital Agenda for Europe (DAE) aiming to assure comprehensive availability and take-up of fast and ultra-fast internet to each European. Fiber, in particular point-to-point fiber development, is the most “future proof” network technologies to reach the above targets and deliver next generation access. However, many households in the EU are still waiting for next generation access (NGA) to arrive according to the Communications Committee report on “Broadband lines in the EU” in 2012. This is since next generation access (NGA) technologies have a low share in fixed broadband lines and the reason is seen in the risk in investment in the highly regulated NGA infrastructure. IPHOBAC-NG will provide a technical solution to this problem. (c) IPHOBAC-NG Consortium - www.iphobac-ng.eu Slide 3
