EU Urges More Broadband Internet Access

An AP newswire article by Kayla Tausche, via Yahoo! News, reports that:

The European Union's executive office on Tuesday called on the governments of member nations to do more to get people online, saying only 13 percent of the union's 450 million people have broadband Internet access.

If governments act now to boost investment in high-speed networks in remote and rural areas, all EU citizens could have such access by 2010, said Viviane Reding, the EU's information technology commissioner.
