Part 1 of the Broadband Compendium includes an introduction to the INTERREG program and a user guide, along with a Layman’s Report on the Baltic Rural Broadband Project. This summary covers the project's background, objectives, results, its impact on alternative broadband infrastructures in the Baltic Sea region, and shared experiences.
The pilot projects of the Baltic Rural Broadband Project significantly contributed to its overall success by facilitating knowledge and technology exchange among partner regions. They focused on building regional capacities, application sharing, eGovernment support services, broadband access in schools, broadband-based businesses, and health sector solutions.
