PART III: LIST OF PRE-IDENTIFIED PRIORITITES AND AREAS OF INTERVENTION IN THE TELECOMMUNICATIONS SECTOR 60 a) Horizontal priorities Innovative Management, Mapping & Services Technical assistance and project replication measures, where necessary for deployment and governance, including project and investment planning and feasibility studies. Mapping of pan-European broadband infrastructure to develop an on-going detailed physical surveying and documentation of relevant sites, analysis of rights of way, assessments of potential for upgrading existing facilities, etc. Analysis of the environmental impact, taking into account climate change adaptation and mitigation needs, and disaster resilience Support actions and other technical support measures Actions needed to prepare implementation of projects of common interest or actions contributing to that purpose, including preparatory, feasibility, evaluation and validation studies, and any other technical support measure, including prior action to define and develop an action fully. 60 Since the content of the Annex is closely linked to the issue of the functional link (see footnote for Article 7(4) as well as to the discussions on the Commission proposal for a Regulation on guidelines for trans-European telecommunications networks and repealing Decision No 1336/97/EC (hereinafter "INFSO guidelines"), Part III of the Annex will be subject to further discussions in the Telecom Working Party. 17107/12 FL/ne 74 ANNEX TO ANNEX DG E 2 A E

) Broadband networks Intervention in the field of broadband shall contribute to smart and inclusive growth through building a balanced and geographically diversified portfolio of broadband projects, including both 30Mbps and 100Mbps plus projects; with urbansuburban and rural projects, in order to reach a satisfactory level of connectivity in all the Member States. Characteristics of the intervention Description The intervention in the field of broadband networks shall include: The intervention in the field of broadband networks shall consist in particular of one or more of the following elements: Investments in broadband networks capable of achieving the Digital Agenda 2020 target of universal coverage at 30Mbps; or Investments in broadband networks capable of achieving the Digital Agenda 2020 target and having at least 50% of households subscribing to speeds above 100Mbps; The deployment of passive physical infrastructure or the deployment of combined passive and active physical infrastructure and ancillary infrastructure elements, complete with services necessary to operate such infrastructure; Associated facilities and associated services, such as building wiring, antennae, towers and other supporting constructions, ducts, conduits, masts, manholes, and cabinets; Exploitation of potential synergies between the roll- out of broadband networks and other utilities networks (energy, transport, water, sewage, etc), in particular those related to smart electricity distribution. 17107/12 FL/ne 75 ANNEX TO ANNEX DG E 2 A E
