Online content and app providers drive demand for broadband, driving fixed and mobile revenues of €155bn (£133 bn) in Europe in 2010, according to a report commissioned by the BBC, Channel 4, Blinkbox, Skype and Yahoo.
The report […] has been published to highlight to the Government that the existing open nature of the internet helps drive growth for telecoms companies, rather than limit their growth by being bandwidth-intensive.
The report includes a series of recommendations, including that EU institutions, national governments and regulators should signal a clear commitment to safeguarding the Open Internet and that the application of an industry code of conduct and dispute resolution procedures, through “self regulation with oversight”, should be promoted.
