Advancing Greece's National Broadband Plan: Bridging the Digital Divide

The Hellenic National Broadband Plan aims to enhance digital access across Greece by addressing supply and demand issues in various demographics and regions. With a focus on reducing the digital divide, especially among elder citizens and underserved groups, the plan promotes infrastructure development, facilitates private investments, and enhances ICT in schools. Local support teams and incentives for the donation of equipment are key strategies, aiming for inclusive internet access that supports education, teleworking, e-health, and community communications across the nation.
