Don't plow down the broadband with just any plow!

Fresh billions for broadband in rural areas is of course welcome Anna-Karin Hatt. When it comes to allocating this money, there are three things I see as a prerequisite for the money to be used properly.

Firstly, the money should really go to building broadband and not a lot of bureaucracy. Fiber associations must not drown in forms and administration, they should bury ducts and fiber.

Secondly, market players must have a say when the Swedish Board of Agriculture sets the conditions for the support money. The networks must be operated in a professional manner, otherwise these broadband networks will not become part of our future infrastructure.

Thirdly, it is important that you do not contribute to broadband being plowed down with just any plow. As you know, it is important that fiber is laid in a robust way so that the networks we build are future-proof, as you have heard me say many times. These broadband networks must be built according to the guidelines endorsed by the industry.

If you ensure these three things, I am convinced that the country's fiber associations will have many good days and Sweden will have a more future-proof broadband infrastructure in rural areas!
