Digital communications market's bonus

Brussels, 28/02/2012 (Agence Europe) - The answers to Europe's search for new economic growth may be closer to home than expected. The European Commission today released a study showing that, if the internal market for electronic communications were completed, the EU gross domestic product (GDP) could grow by up to €110 billion a year, or more than 0.8% of GDP. E-Communication is a critical part of overall efforts to build a digital single market. This “digital bonus” for EU growth would result from more competition, increased economies of scale for telecom operators, and the chance for every European to access all online content and services throughout the EU, such as music, films and video games.
