The first Digital Agenda (2010-2020) proposed harnessing the potential of information and communications technology (ICTICT An acronym for ‘Information and Communications Technology’. ICT is the set of technologies that provide access to information via telecommunications. Unlike information technology, ICT is more focused on communication technologies, such as the Internet, wireless networks, mobile phones and other means of communication.) to foster innovation, economic growth and progress by improving access to digital goods and services for consumers and businesses across Europe. The second Digital Agenda for EuropeDigital Agenda for Europe The first Digital Agenda (2010-2020) proposed harnessing the potential of information and communications technology (ICT) to foster innovation, economic growth and progress by improving access to digital goods and services for consumers and businesses across Europe. The second Digital Agenda for Europe (2020-2030) focuses on the profound changes brought about by digital technologies and the creation of secure digital markets and services. Gigabit connectivity, 5G and 6G, and European data infrastructures are also among the priorities. In 2021, the strategy was complemented by the Digital Compass 2030 with a strong focus on the issue of connectivity. For more information visit the European Commission’s official website.

GigabitGigabit The Gigabit is the unit of measurement that represents 1 billion bits and is abbreviated as Gbit or Gb. This unit of measurement is often used, together with the megabit and the kilobit, in relation to time (in seconds) for calculating the transmission speed of digital signals, mainly used to calculate the speed of a data download. The Gbit/s is currently a widely used unit of measurement to refer to data transmission speed in computer networks. connectivity, 5G and 6G, and European data infrastructures are also among the priorities. In 2021, the strategy was complemented by the Digital Compass 2030Digital Compass 2030 Through the 2030 Digital Compass, the European Union has set 4 macro-targets for member states to achieve in the areas of skills, business, infrastructure and public services. In terms of Gigabit connectivity, this plan stipulates the availability of a fixed ultra-fast network (at least 1 Gbps) and a mobile network (5G) in all populated areas of the continent by 2030.
