Fast and high-quality broadband is widely seen as a prerequisite for a competitive, innovative, and sustainable knowledge economy. The Netherlands holds a leading position internationally in this field, partly based on strong competition in the last mile. The Ministry of Economic Affairs places great value on maintaining and optimally utilising this position in the future. The further development of existing and new broadband infrastructures towards Next Generation Infrastructures (NGIs) is therefore considered of great strategic importance for the development of society and the economy as a whole. The key question is how the migration to these NGIs could take place based on supply and demand.
The Ministry of Economic Affairs has commissioned TNO and Dialogic to conduct an independent research into the expected supply and demand in Next Generation Infrastructure in the Netherlands in 2010, 2015, and 2020.
The research is primarily based on desk research, consulting available public sources, supplemented with expert opinions and professional assessments by the researchers. The findings from the research are broadly validated with a number of relevant market players through interviews.
