When it comes to internet connectivity, it would be easy to assume that Europe has adequate provision – not so. In spite there being more than 700 million internet users across the continent, almost ten million households lack access to an adequate fixed broadband service, not to mention tens of thousands of businesses labouring with slow or no connections. This is increasingly becoming unacceptable, as digital technology becomes increasingly integral to our society, writes Adam Leach, the director of emerging technology at Nominet.
