This is the good practice's implementation level. It can be national, regional or local.

The project operates in the White areas are where the operators have not been or are scheduled in their plans to provide broadband low profitability.
CONECTARAGON: It is a plan that provides broadband to 348 municipalities with more than 250 inhabitants and 351 schools (100% of schools in the rural environment), with an amount of 36 million euros, gives FTTH (Fibber to the Home) to municipalities. The project has an impact on 97,000 people.
ALL: It aims to provide broadband to over 700 small towns, with a total population of 21,000 people. Or an average of 30 inhabitants per core. Broadband Technology 4G, Wimax or satellite is optimized and developed with the collaboration of all: Government of Aragon, Provincial Councils, FAMCP and mobile operators.

3) Search for European mechanisms for financing, through ERDF funds
ALL:
1) Define a coordinated plan with other institutions so that 100% of the population has available before 2019 broadband.
2) Communicate the difference between broadband and optical fiber
3) See which technology is the most optimal for each small municipality. Wimax, 4G the satellite
4) Start A.P. and define communication plan
