On 15 December, EENA submitted its contribution to the European Commission’s call for evidence on the review of the Digital Decade Policy Programme.
The Digital Decade Policy Programme (DPPP) is an EU framework that sets concrete targets for digital skills, infrastructure, business digitalisation, and public services to be achieved by 2030. As it reaches its mid life, the European Commission is now considering a review of its targets to better reflect the changing geopolitical, technological and competitive situation that Europe now faces.
In its response, EENA called for the revised programme to strengthen the resilience of Europe’s connectivity, close remaining white spots, and prevent the quality of access to emergency services while roaming from deteriorating following the transition of emergency communications to IMS.
EENA noted that all of these goals would contribute to improving connectivity, as well as improving the resilience of telecoms networks, access to 112, and of society as a whole.
EENA’s response also noted that new technologies such as satellites could be used to improve both geographic connectivity and fallback connectivity following a terrestrial network outage.
