The Broadband for All Cluster in FP6

Martin Potts, Paulo De Sousa

2004

Abstract

This paper describes the Broadband For All Cluster, which resides within the IST (Information Society Technologies) Thematic Area of the EU’s 6th Framework Programme. By explaining the topics being addressed by the projects in the Cluster, it gives a summary of the current trends in broadband provision in the access and core networks, from the perspective of the major industrial and network operations organisations throughout Europe. Since there will be further Calls for projects in this Strategic Objective, it can be a useful guide towards assessing where important topics have been overlooked.
