Expand the language defining NGA in the EU Broadband Guidelines

Expand the language defining NGA in the EU Broadband Guidelines to make clear the common view that public investment in NGA should achieve a fundamental step-change and not an evolutionary incremental improvement.


Member states have to accept that public subsidy can only be used once to affect a major change, and not a periodic, evolutionary incremental change - that state aid is a single bite at the cherry, so if VDSL is chosen, the commercial player receiving the subsidy knows they can't receive more in a few years time to top them up again, and the local authority has to realise this too.
