Analysis of whether mobile broadband is worth pursuing
The main project goal was to clarify whether mobile broadband falls under the planned broadband offensive from both the infrastructural and the user point of view and, if this is the case, what lobbying should be done in this direction, if indeed this should be economically meaningful at all. This resulted in an analysis of the broadband-promoting activities already carried out in Austria and their place within the European context. In addition, the current promotional strategy was analysed and the development of the process documented. One significant aspect was the investigation of the role of broadband via mobile phones and data cards as part of this promotional strategy. According to the government programme, the entire population will be provided with access to broadband infrastructure by 2009.
