With significant investments in technology, the satellite industry and the development of EU citize

Website www.broadbandforall.eu ster is the culmination of an ambitious project aiming to provide broadband Internet ster access via satellite remotest regions of the EU said Neelie Kroes, European Commission Vice President and Commissioner for Digital Agenda.
High-speed, broadband Internet access via satellite is available in all 28 countries of the European Union. This is an important step on the front of the fight against digital exclusion. The ability to use broadband for all EU citizens has become a reality with the availability of services in the Baltic States, namely ster Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia. These countries as the last of the Member States were in the range of providers of broadband Internet access via satellite.
This access provides maximum download speed up to 20 Mb / s and upload up to 6 Mb / s Thanks to all nationals of Member States who have not yet been digitally excluded can now join a worldwide community of Internet ster users and obtain and exchange information and watch videos in high quality. Availability of broadband Internet via satellite in all EU Member States is an important step towards the realization of the vision of "Connected Continent", ie communication across the European continent said Neelie Kroes, European Commission Vice President and Commissioner for Digital Agenda. Digital Agenda for Europe (Digital Agenda ster for Europe, DAE) is a flagship initiative under the Europe 2020 strategy. It assumes the provision of access to broadband Internet for all EU citizens by 2013
Neelie Kroes spoke at the European Parliament in connection ster with the launch of a new website at www.broadbandforall.eu. The site was created by the European Satellite Operators Association (European Satellite Operators Association, ESOA) with the support of the European Commission. It aims to facilitate access to broadband Internet by satellite for all citizens of the Union. The event entitled "Broadband for all Towards 100% coverage" (Broadband access for all the way up to 100% coverage), organized by Lambert Van Nistelrooij, a member of the European Parliament, have the opportunity to see this new, non-profit online tool.

In contrast to terrestrial services, satellite broadband services provide instant access to content in even the most remote regions. As a result, households in urban and suburban areas beyond the reach of terrestrial infrastructure can transmit large amounts of data and use of video transmission added de Rosen.
Lambert van Nistelrooij MEP: Fighting the digital divide and the desire to provide ster high-speed Internet access across Europe today, without waiting to be realized ster long-term construction projects ster ground infrastructure can potentially create new jobs, also in the peripheral regions of Europe .
Neelie Kroes, who discussed with industry representatives, members of the European Parliament and legislators the question of what else can be done to ensure that all EU citizens the right support in terms of access to broadband Internet by satellite. The latest generation of high throughput satellites has revolutionized the delivery of broadband services. This translated into a well on the higher data rate and coverage more customers while significantly reducing costs for end users.
Satellite technology has already been acknowledged and incorporated ster into national programs to provide access to broadband in Ireland, Wales, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, ster Cyprus and many other regions. The latest generation of satellites plays a key role in providing communications for emergency services and public administration in the event of emergencies. For example, ster satellite broadband services have been used to provide Internet access to hospitals, rescue services
