BEREC Report on Connectivity Indicators for the Digital Decade Policy Programme

Decision (EU) 2022/2481 of the European Parliament and of the Council (Decision) establishes the Digital Decade Policy Programme 2030 (DDPP) that it intended to guide Europe's digital transformation. It establishes digital targets and objectives in the realms of digital skills, digital infrastructure, digitalisation of business and of public services. Article 5(1) of the DDPP requires the European Commission to monitor Member States’ progress towards the general objectives and the digital targets set out in the DDPP and, to that end, the European Commission is required to set out, by means of an implementing act, the KPIs for each digital target. On 30 June 2023 the Commission published the Implementing Decision setting out key performance indicators (among which the ones related to connectivity) to measure the progress towards the digital targets established by Article 4(1) of Decision (EU) 2022/2481 of the EC and of the Council, C(2023)4288_final of 30 June 2023.

This BEREC Implementation Report is looking in how the Decision and the Implementing Decision are implemented in practice by NRAs/OCAs with reference to connectivity KPIs and looks at the difficulties they encounter and also at the results they achieve.
