The broadband policy of the province of Utrecht is currently mainly focused on stimulating demand aggregation processes at business and office locations (Fiber-to-the-Business). However, the province of Utrecht is ambitious to broaden its broadband policy towards residential homes (Fiber-to-the-Home) in addition to business parks. Additionally, they also want to stimulate the development of broadband applications for the education and healthcare sectors (Fiber-to-the-Institute). Prior to elaborating on such a strategic agenda, it is necessary to first assess the existing infrastructure within the province of Utrecht, how it is being utilized, and which broadband initiatives have already been initiated in the 29 municipalities. Dialogic is conducting a general survey of the current state of broadband developments in the province of Utrecht. This includes both the availability and usage of broadband. In addition to an inventory of existing infrastructure, it is important to get a good indication of the current number and type of broadband users. The goal of the survey is to obtain a comprehensive overview of the situation in the municipalities of Utrecht regarding broadband developments. To optimally leverage the opportunities of broadband, the survey will serve as input in determining the province's future broadband policy.
