Resumo

Data connectivity is the very key enabler for digital services. Ultrabroadband allows all use cases with almost unlimited speeds and very low latency. This holds true only for fixed connections (dedicated gigabits speeds) with mobile ones making great progress (gigabit shared) through LTE and WiFi. Unfortunately, its availability is not widespread, although governments are making efforts to close the broadband (digital) divide.
