There are four key areas that I want to see strengthened: firstly, customer service, whether in terms of access – through the more widespread territorial deployment of networks – fair prices or quality; secondly, sustained industrial activity with a view to stimulating job creation and innovation, since technological progress is also effective in bringing down prices; thirdly, the competitiveness of small and large companies in order to guarantee sustainable competition in the EU Member States and the necessary investment, especially in fibre optics, that will enable us to compete more effectively in a global marke ...[+++]t; and, finally, legal certainty – the need to ensure the reliability of the system by giving responsibility to those involved and encouraging mutual cooperation, especially among regulators but also between regulators and the Commission.

17. Calls on the Commission and Member States to make it compulsory to lay tele-technical ducts during the implementation of all line and network infrastructure investments, such as roads, sewage systems, water supply systems and heating and energy supply networks, so as to enable fibre-optic cables to be installed either immediately or at a later date, and calls for particularly strict compliance with this requirement to be ensured in connection with EU-funded infrastructure building and renovation work;

In the main, fibre optic systems are being used to deliver entertainment and voice telephony services, the most immediately profitable services, although these can be provided on existing networks.
