Broadband Targets for 2015 Ambi(ous but achievable targets

• Target 1: Making broadband policy universal. By 2015, To have a na(onal broadband plan or strategy or include broadband in our Universal Access / Service Defini(ons. • Target 2: Making broadband affordable. By 2015, Entry-‐level broadband services should be made affordable through adequate regula(on and market forces (amoun(ng to less than 5% of average monthly income). • Target 3: Connec(ng homes to broadband. By 2015, 40% of households should have Internet access. • Target 4: GeQng people online. By 2015, Internet user penetra(on should reach 60% worldwide, at least 15% in our Country.
