BROADBAND
NETWORK AND SERVICE ACCESS
The
Strategic Advisory Board on Information Technologie,
In view of decree no. 2000-1080 of November 7, 2000 pertaining
to the creation of a strategic advisory board on information technologies,
In view of the question submitted for consideration on July 10,
2001,
Recommends :
- A bold, proactive government policy to promote
the widespread access to broadband services and networks in France;
a policy which would specifically include :
-
Facilitating the market conditions in areas
where the expected profitability of broadband access services
warrants the presence of several operators, specifically through
a temporary drop of unbundling prices under cost, defined
on multiyear basis ;
-
Covering geographic areas (defined by market
consultation) where no operator has any economic interest
in offering broadband access. Coverage could be ensured through
a public funding system, with an invitation to tender, rolled
out in compliance with very clear guidelines defined at the
national level ;
-
Developing tests for the economic validation
of public/private partnerships in those areas where current
technologies (cable, XDSL) cannot be deployed because of technical
limitations ;
-
A long-term government initiative promoting the
deployment of 'high' broadband services ;
- The implementation of the findings in the report
drawn up by the " Infrastructures and Networks " working group,
appended to this recommendation.

TRAINING
AND EDUCATION
The
Strategic Advisory Board on Information Technologie,
In view of decree no. 2000-1080 of November 7, 2000 pertaining
to the creation of a strategic advisory board on information technologies,
In view of the question submitted for consideration on July 10,
2001,
Recommends :
- The set up of a national entity for forecasting and analysing
the skills and expertise in information technologies. This independent
entity should be indifferent to job-recruiter concerns and should
focus on the jobs requiring associate degrees, or equivalent (i.e.,
2 or 3 years of higher education) ;
- The broadband Internet networking of grammar schools, lower and upper
secondary schools, and the doubling of public research efforts
in the area of information technology education, the uses of information
technologies for teaching purposes, and the appropriate pedagogical
contents ;
- The mobilisation of all the available skills, such as untapped
specialists or local companies in information technologies, within
the framework of special contracts, for local support ;
- The implementation of the findings in the report by the report
by the " Needs for Experts " working group, appended
to this recommendation.
