During recent months the European Commission has incorporated feedback national initiatives of broadband mapping and continuing to develop the mapping platform and visualisation of connectivity and quality of service within the EU and EEA.
The functionality of a single platform was presented at the workshop as well as the way of data collection in public institutions such as regulators or ministries and scientific institutions. In addition, the views and experiences were exchanged in the mapping implementation of broadband services. Public presentation of data via broadband platform is expected in 2017.
The stakeholders of the workshop were representatives of regulatory authorities of the EU Member States and renowned experts in the field of electronic communications. Vesna Gašpar, expert at the Croatian Regulatory Authority for Network Industries (HAKOM).
