“Where PSBs moved to marginal and zero cost charging, the number of re-users increased by between 1,000% and 10,000%.”
“Lowering charges may attract new types of re-users, in particular SMEs.”
“Once re-use facilitation processes are properly organized … they become embedded in the PSB's public task-funded activities at no extra cost.”
