The EU Digital Services Act: Simplifying terms and conditions DigitalEU 2024-03-25 | #DigitalEU #DSA #DigitalServicesActWhen a website or app asks us to read the terms and conditions, we are usually faced with a small print we have to endlessly scroll through, making it difficult to focus on what we are agreeing to – if we read it at all. The DSA will ensure that very large online platforms (those with over 45 million users in the EU) provide concise and unambiguous summaries of their terms and conditions in the local EU language, so we all know what we are accepting.

EBA Winner 2023 Category 1: SIRO Network Expansion DigitalEU 2023-12-21 | Launched in 2015, SIRO's core mission is to provide full-fibre broadband connectivity to regional and rural Ireland. The aim is to bridge existing digital divides, empower local communities with reliable, resilient, and future-proofed broadband, and bolster Ireland's climate change objectives. SIRO emerged as a joint venture between the publicly-owned Irish electricity operator, ESB, and the global telecom, Vodafone and had the innovative approach of utilising the ESB's existing electricity infrastructure, such as poles and ducting, both above and below ground in order to deploy a full-fibre network across Ireland.

EBA Winner 2023 Category 2: The Race Against Fagradalsfjall DigitalEU 2023-12-21 | In early 2021, Iceland faced an unprecedented threat to its national Optical Fiber Cable (OFC) backbone ring when a volcanic eruption began in Fagradalsfjall on the Reykjanes Peninsula. The eruption posed an immediate danger to the sole OFC ring, which connected to vital data centres, rural areas, and international submarine cables. Reykjavík Fibre Network (RFN) took swift action, laying a new multi-duct pipe for optic fibres further from the eruption to secure connectivity. RFN's new multi-duct pipe was not only a protective measure but also a forward-looking investment in the nation's fiber backbone. The pipe was already in place when the existing fibre backbone ruptured in June of 2021. It was also guarded from lava as it was laid deeper in the earth than usual and was protected from the heat with steel plates and steel wool. The project serves as a model for addressing imminent threats to critical infrastructure and showcases the importance of effective collaboration.

EBA Winner 2023 Category 3: Trysil - broadband for everyone DigitalEU 2023-12-21 | The Trysil municipality is over 3.000 km2, but has only 6.600 permanent residents spread over the entire area. It faces demographic challenges, with a declining population that threatens its financial stability. Also, as Norway's largest ski tourism municipality, Trysil attracts over 50,000 winter visitors annually, the region boasts more than 7,000 frequently used holiday cottages. The widespread demand for broadband, often delivered through Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) due to geographical constraints, was inadequate. To ensure equal opportunities for everyone and to avoid further depopulation, the Municipality deployed the ‘broadband for everyone’ project. The project has extended 600.000 m of fibre, resulting in gigabit broadband access for 99,7 % of the households and businesses in Trysil. As a result, several businesses have reported that they can now continue to be located in rural areas in Trysil, and the Municipality aims to increase the number of jobs and achieve economic growth.

EBA Winner 2023 Category 4: Broadband Infrastructure Development Plan for sustainable City of Solin DigitalEU 2023-12-21 | Situated just 5 klm northeast of Split, Croatia, this project is a collaboration between A1 Hrvatska and the City of Solin and aims to significantly improve digital connectivity in the region. There are 5,043 addresses in the City of Solin and nearly 40% of them are considered "white addresses," lacking high-speed broadband access. The core mission of this project is to bridge the digital divide and establish a well-connected, sustainable, and resilient digital landscape for the City of Solin and its residents. The project, led by A1 Hrvatska, focuses on establishing a Fiber to the Home (FTTH) network. In addition, it involves the deployment of mobile networks such as LTE and 5G, mainly in peripheral and hard-to-reach areas. FTTH is the primary technology used and offers several advantages, including ultra-fast internet speeds, enhanced reliability, and support for future technologies like virtual reality and 8K streaming. The decision to implement FTTH is particularly significant in rural areas, where it ensures consistent high-speed access regardless of the cable length.Find out more about the 2023 European Broadband Awards:https://digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/policies/european-broadband-awardsThis video is part of the European Broadband Competence Offices Network’s programme promoting awareness of good practices in broadband projects as well as EU broadband funding and policy.

Digital Transition: Long-term implications for Farmers and Rural Communities DigitalEU 2023-12-06 | The green and digital transitions are two major developments that are shaping the future of the European Union. In agriculture, digital technologies promise more efficient and sustainable production of food and biomaterials. For rural areas, digital connectivity is perceived as one of the key elements to improve the quality of life, ensure a balanced territorial development and economic prosperity. In this wider context, digitalisation in agriculture and rural areas does not guarantee positive outcomes by itself. It may also create new challenges and vulnerabilities, if not introduced in a thoughtful way.This video showcases the study ‘Digital Transition: Long-term implications for Farmers and Rural Communities’, which brought out some common elements of the needed transition and arrived at a set of issues that need to be considered. The study also, provides a toolkit, which aims to support to policymakers in their reflection on the digital transition process through an inclusive discussion of what these elements signify in particular context and how they can be integrated by all actors in their actions.Find out more information: https://policy-lab.ec.europea.eu https://agriculture.ec.europa.euSee more videos in the series: http://videos.bconetwork.euThis video is part of the European Broadband Competence Offices Network’s programme promoting awareness of good practices in broadband projects as well as EU broadband funding and policy.
