  • Kritik an EU-Vorschlag zur Regelung elektronischer Kommunikation

    Die Vorschläge der EU Kommission, Maßnahmen zur Sicherheit in den Netzen zu einer Auflage für die Netzbetreiber zu machen und von den Regulierungsbehörden überwachen zu lassen, stießen heute bei einer Anhörung in Brüssel auf massive Kritik der Telekommunikationsunternehmen. Die Kommission habe in dieser Frage eine völlige Kehrtwendung gemacht, warnten unter anderem Vertreter der Verbände European Telecommunications Network Operators' Association (ETNO), der European Internet Service Provider Association (EuroISPA) und der EU-Ausschuss der American Chamber of Commerce (AMCHAM EU).

Jovan Kurbalija, Direktor der DIPLO Foundation, einem Genfer Think Tank zur Netzpolitik, warnte, er könne den internationalen Gerichten auf einen Schlag über tausende neue Verfahren bescheren.

  • Kroes to beef up scrutiny of EU digital industry

    The European Commission will ensure that devices with always-on connectivity, like Apple's iPhone, don't lock consumers in to proprietary technology, Neelie Kroes, EU commissioner for the 'Digital Agenda', told EurActiv in an exclusive interview. A yearly scorecard will measure the industry's progress.

    "I intend to publish a yearly progress report on the Digital Agenda with a scoreboard on how we are doing in terms of implementation. This scoreboard will chart progress towards the key targets outlined in the Digital Agenda," Kroes told EurActiv.

  • Local Digital Twins: Tackling urban digitalisation gaps in Europe

    Digital technologies are transforming government and urban governance. Cities are becoming smarter by digitising systems and integrating predictive tools into everyday services. Local Digital Twins (LDTs) and Local Digital Platforms (LDPs) enable this transformation by using data analytics and AI to create virtual replicas of urban environments and combining historical and real-time data. This allows cities to conduct real-time analyses and make data-driven decisions. The adoption of LDPs and LDTs is steadily gaining momentum across Europe, as local administrations increasingly recognise the transformative potential of these technologies to enhance urban environments. Nevertheless, even though LDTs are designed to vary in maturity and capabilities to assist smaller cities with their adoption, the pace of implementation remains uneven, mirroring the broader digital divide across the continent and highlighting a series of common challenges.

  • Looking to a future where "no European child is left off line"

    Rolling out broadband internet connections to bring e-government, e-health, or e-learning on-line services to remote or rural areas like Greek islands or Andalusian mountains is vital to making Europe a world-leading knowledge-based economy. An own-initiative report on broadband policy options, adopted by the Industry Committee today with 43 votes in favour, none against and two abstentions, sets out measures to bridge the "digital divide" between urban and rural areas.

  • Major European e-government programme unveiled

    The European Commission is to embark on a major new e-government programme designed to accelerate the pace of transnational e-service delivery across the EU administrations and accession states.

  • Making the Top Smart City in Europe

    How do you build a 'smart city?' What innovative factors lead to award-winning smarter technology examples to emulate? Which European city is the smartest? Let’s explore.

  • Malaysia strengthens partnership with EU on smart city development

  • Many countries failing to hit EU E-government targets

    Although the EU predicts a fully operational E-government system by 2050, many countries have so far failed to hit targets.

    Europe will have fully interoperable and transparent E-government by 2050, according to EU officials. This future government will blur the lines between us as individuals and how we interact with officialdom.

    Governments will poll us about shaping policy and voting will be done through our televisions. All interactions that have traditionally taken place physically with government will disappear. Telemedicine and technology-based state education will be as natural as electronic tax returns and online banking are today. The same will apply to voting, discussions with other citizens and having your say in parliament.

  • Mehr EU-Bürger surfen mit Breitband, Eurostat

    Die Zahl der Breitband-Internetzugänge hat sich in den letzten vier Jahren verdoppelt. Laut dem Statistischen Amt der Europäischen Union verzichten aber immer noch zu viele Nutzer auf wichtige Sicherheitsmaßnahmen.

    Seit 2006 hat sich die Zahl der Breitband-Internetzugänge in der EU von 30 auf 61 Prozent verdoppelt (PDF-Link). Führend bei der Verbreitung sind laut dem Statistischen Amt der Europäischen Union (Eurostat) die skandinavischen Länder, mit 83 Prozent in Schweden und Norwegen sowie 80 Prozent in Dänemark und 76 Prozent in Finnland.

  • mHealth in Europe: A mixed bag

    If you're planning on launching a remote treatment program or partnering with a healthcare provider in Germany, don't. Remote telehealth programs are banned in that country. But they are encouraged in Spain.

    Market conditions for mHealth vary greatly across Europe, according to a new report issued by the research2guidance. In fact, the Berlin-based marketing company's analysis of five key mHealth factors in 28 EU countries finds that developers and providers looking to do business overseas will need to study the conditions in each nation very carefully before moving forward.

  • mHealth key to improving EU healthcare systems – report

    A rollout of mobile healthcare (mHealth) technology across the EU could help save as much as €99 billion in healthcare costs by 2017, according to the findings of a new report by GSMA, a grouping of mobile technology stakeholders, and PwC, with ageing populations and rising numbers of people suffering from chronic diseases such as diabetes creating hardships for European governments.

    In September of last year, another PwC report highlighted the importance for Malta of investing in health information technology (eHealth), saying that a good managerial and technological support system can alleviate work pressures of this labour intensive industry.

  • Minister einigen sich auf EU-weite Vernetzung von Gen- und Fingerabdruckdatenbanken

Das zunächst 2005 von Belgien, Deutschland, Frankreich, Luxemburg, Niederlande, Österreich und Spanien getroffene Übereinkommen soll eine vertiefte Phase der grenzüberschreitenden Bekämpfung des Terrorismus, der Kriminalität und der illegalen Migration begründen. Dazu sollen etwa DNA-, Fingerabdruck- und Fahrzeugregisterdaten elektronisch einfacher ausgetauscht und die entsprechenden Datenbanken vernetzt werden können.
