On 12 March 2019, atene KOM will organised the fifth Governmental Day Workshop. It took place as part of the FTTH Conference 2019 in Amsterdam.
The Governmental Day Workshop once again provided an interactive platform for broadband stakeholders in the EU. It addressed the multiple challenges that broadband deployment in rural areas poses for local and regional authorities.
