Digital Economy and Society Index 2020 Thematic chapters 18 3 3 ConnectivityConnectivity The connectivity dimension of the Digital Economy and Society Index (DESI) looks at both the demand and the supply side of fixed and mobile b

Under fixed broadband, it assesses the take-up of overall and ultrafast broadband (at least 100 Mbps), the availability of fast broadband (next generation access (NGA) providing at least 30 Mbps) and of fixed very high capacity networks (VHCNs)(8), and also considers the prices of retail o

8、ffers. Mobile broadband includes 4G coverage, the take-up of mobile broadband (3G and 4G) and the indicator on 5G readiness(9). Digital connectivity is considered a social right in the EU(10). In connectivity, Denmark had the highest score, followed by Sweden, Luxembourg, Latvia and Spain. Greece, C

9、yprus and Bulgaria had the weakest performance for this dimension of the DESI. As for the mobile broadband sub-dimension (including indicators 1c1, 1c2 and 1c3), Finland, Germany, Italy, Hungary and Denmark lead Europe, while Bulgaria and Slovenia registered the lowest scores.

14、e). Primary internet access at home is provided mainly by fixed technologies, which remained stable at 97%. Among these technologies, xDSL has the largest footprint (91%) followed by DOCSIS 3.0 cable (46%) and FTTP (34%). Coverage of NGA technologies (VDSL, VDSL2 vectoring, FTTP, DOCSIS 3.0, DOCSIS

15、3.1) capable of delivering download speeds of at least 30 Mbps reached 86%, up from 83% a year ago, thanks to an increase of 3 percentage points in VDSL and 4.5 percentage points in FTTP coverage last year. Coverage of DOCSIS 3.1 networks was 19%. DSL coverage remained stable. 44% of households alre

17、Point Topic, Broadband coverage in Europe studies. Digital Economy and Society Index 2020 Thematic chapters 20 Broadband coverage of rural areas(11) remains challenging as 10% of households are not covered by any fixed network and 41% are not covered by any NGA technology. Rural fixed coverage incre

18、ased marginally from 88% to 90%. Rural coverage improved in VDSL (from 36% to 42%), DOCSIS 3.0 (from 10% to 11%) FTTP (from 14% to 18%) and VHCN (from 14% to 20%). Mobile broadband availability went up by 2 percentage points last year, although mobile is still mainly used as a complementary technolo

19、gy rather than a substitute for fixed technologies. Figure 9 Rural coverage by technology at EU level (% of households), 2018 2019 Source: IHS Markit, Omdia and Point Topic, Broadband coverage in Europe studies. Overall coverage of fixed broadband has only marginally increased since 2011 from 95% to

20、 97%. Rural coverage improved from 80% in 2011 to 90% in 2019.

Digital Economy and Society Index 2020 Thematic chapters 21 Fixed coverage is hi

22、ghest in the Member States with well-developed DSL infrastructures. In 12 Member States, more than 99% of households are covered. Poland, Lithuania, Romania and Slovakia are lagging behind with less than 90% of households covered. Figure 11 Fixed broadband coverage (% of households), mid-2019 Source

By mid-2019, VDSL had the largest coverage among NGA technologies at 59%, followed by cable (46%) and FTTP

24、 (34%). NGA coverage improved significantly in rural areas, with an increase of 50 percentage points in 8 years: in 2011, it stood at 9% of households, while in 2019 at 59%.

The significant gap between total and rural VHCN coverage shows the regional disparities in digital opportunitie

30、s and confirms that more investment is needed in rural areas in order to catch up.

The poorest performers in this respect are Greece (7%), the UK and Cyprus (both at 10%). Austria, Ireland and Czechia are below 30%, while Italy is at 30%. VHCN co

32、verage in Germany stands at a mere 33%. Figure 17 Fixed very high capacity network (VHCN) coverage (% of households), mid-2019 Source: IHS Markit, Omdia and Point Topic, Broadband coverage in Europe studies. 4G (LTE) is almost ubiquitous with 99.4% of households covered by at least one operator in E

33、urope (overall 4G coverage), and it is now even more widely available than fixed broadband (97.1%). 4G coverage increased mainly in Ireland, Romania, Cyprus and Croatia from 2018 to 2019. Looking at the 5 year trend, overall 4G coverage increased from 81% in 2014 by 18 percentage points to 99.4% in

34、2019. Rural 4G coverage went up from 38% in 2014 to 98% in 2019, an increase of 60 percentage points in 5 years. Digital Economy and Society Index 2020 Thematic chapters 26 Average 4G availability(12) is 96%, up from 85% in 2016. In comparison, overall 4G coverage increased only 3 percentage points

36、es. 3.2 Fixed broadband take-up Although fixed broadband is available to 97% of EU households, 22% of households do not have such a subscription. Growth in take-up has been steady over the last 6 years, up from 67% to 78%. (12) This indicator measures the average of mobile telecom operators coverage

37、 within each country. Digital Economy and Society Index 2020 Thematic chapters 27 Figure 20 Households with a fixed broadband subscription in the EU (% of households), 2012-2019 Source: Eurostat, Community survey on ICT usage in Households and by Individuals. Take-up rates ranged from only 57% to 98

38、%. The Netherlands, the UK, Luxembourg and Germany registered the highest take-up rates, while Finland, Bulgaria, Italy, Poland and Latvia had the lowest. The relatively low take-up rates in Finland, Italy, Poland and Latvia may partly be due to fixed-mobile substitution(13). Figure 21 Households wi

There is a substantial gap between urban and rural fixed broadband penetration rates. This gap remained almost the same in 9 years, standing at 16 percentage po

40、ints in 2010 and at 14.6 percentage points in 2019. 68% of rural households in the EU had a fixed broadband subscription in 2019. The Netherlands, the UK and Luxembourg registered the highest figures, while in Bulgaria and Finland less than half of rural households subscribed. (13) See in sub-chapte

Digital Economy and Society Index 2020 Thematic chapters 28 In the Netherlands, the UK, Luxembourg, Germany, Denmark, Sweden and

42、 Belgium, urban and rural penetration rates are identical or almost identical. However, in a large group of Member States (Bulgaria, Finland, Latvia, Romania, Italy, Poland, Lithuania, Malta, Portugal, Greece, France and Spain), fixed rural take-up is relatively low (below 63%) and there are signifi

43、cant gaps of 12-30 percentage points between urban and rural take-up.
