While internet access has been increasing worldwide over the past decade, several countries around the world have upgraded, or are in the process of upgrading, their broadband infrastructure to full fibre.

Cullen International compared the draft report of Christel Schaldemose (S&D, Denmark), rapporteur in the lead Internal Market and Consumer Protection (IMCO), on the Commission proposal for a Digital Services Act (DSA) with the draft opinions published by rapporteurs of the key opinion giving committees (CULT, ITRE, LIBE and JURI).

Joint investments in European fibre broadband networks are made mainly by telecoms operators, with only limited involvement from utility companies or private equity funds. This is just one of the key findings from Cullen International’s new benchmark.
