Broadband service must be available for every one
It s the society ho must se it come true
Healthcare is depending of it Modern educations
needs broadband Distance learning Integrations
of new citizens need broadband New services is
depending of high capacity
20
The municipality must have control of the
IT-infrastructure like other infrastructures.
Owen and run the Network by them selves or out
source to a communications operator
Benefit Control of there own cost for
Communications between schools, health care
centres and other municipalitys sites
Opportunity for service provider ho hasnt an
own net work to compete whit other on equal terms
More than one service provider is chairing the
cost of the network
The municipality can have a longer pay back
time (gt20 yare) then commercial companies for the
passive infrastructure like canalisations and
cables
. An open network will create competitions
and reduces the price of service New player will
come to the market
