What should Serbia do to improve broadband penetration?

Postavljeno Mar 21, 2013

Like many developing countries, Serbia too, has a long way of catching up with the developed economies when it comes to investment in internet infrastructure, development of national backbone networks, building of additional Internet Exchange Points (IXPs), establishing better competition framework for last mile operators, all of which would result in a faster Internet uptake and bigger broadband penetration. These activities will also have a positive effect in development of Internet economy, e-commerce services and job creation.
