High-speed Internet for all - including on mobile phones - and lower consumer prices are the main highlights of the European Commission's digital agenda, a five-year plan to ensure higher connectivity for EU citizens and business.

The Digital Agenda aims to deliver benefits to consumers and businesses based on ultra-fast Internet connections and interoperable applications.

The European Commission's blueprint, unveiled in May 2010, aims to provide broadband Internet access for all citizens by 2013, with access to much higher Internet speeds (30 Mbps or above) for all by 2020. By that time, the Commission hopes at least half of European households will subscribe to Internet connections above 100 Mbps.
