Meeting topic:
The accessibility and digital connectivity across borders is one of the major aims of EUSALP.
The alpine fibre-optics backbone is an international project idea to develop Cross- border connections and create more Internet Exchange Point (IXPs) enabling:
1) Access to services by ultrabroadband connectivity
