Digital Agenda for Europe – Why?
• Make the best use of ICTs to speed up economic recovery and lay foundations of a sustainable digital future
• 30% Europeans have never used Internet
• In US there are 4X as many music downloads as in EU
• 1% Europeans have access to high speed fibre-based networks vs. 12% Japanese or 15% South Koreans
• Funding for ICT R&D EU = 40% USA

• Interoperability between ICT products and services
• Internet trust and security
• Much faster internet access
• Investment in research and development
• Digital literacy, skills and inclusion
• ICT to address social changes – climate change, rising healthcare costs, ageing population

• Common framework for actions at EU and MS level
• Ambitious European Spectrum Policy Programme
• Attract capital for investment in competitive NGA (clear and effective regulatory measures)
• Goals by 2020:
All Europeans have access to Internet at speed of above 30Mbps
50% or more of European households subsacribe to Internet access connections above 100 Mbps

Research and Innovation
• Status:
EU public sector spends less than €°5.5 billion per year on ICT R&D
Market fragmentation and dispersed research funding
EU slow in the uptake of ICT business innovations
• Actions:
Leverage more private investment through precommercial procurement and PPPs
Use structural funds for research and innovation
Increase ICT R&D budget by 20% per year for the duration of FP7
Develop “light & fast” ways for SMEs and young researchers to access EU funding for ICT research
Ask member states to double annual public spending on ICT R&D

ICT enabled benefits for society
• ICT sector to lead the way on reporting greenhouse gas emissions
• Give Europeans secure online accessto their medical health data
• Support mobility by providing minimum set of patient record data to be accessible from anywhere in EU (interoperability of patient records)
• Sustainable model for financing Europeana
• Make e-Government everyday convenience (list of common cross-border services, e-identification, e-authentication)
