An analysis conducted by the Ministry of Maritime Affairs, Transport and Infrastructure shows that Croatia is at the bottom of EU rankings in the density of broadband Internet penetration as 54.7% of the population has good broadband access, 43.1% have poor access, mainly in rural or suburban areas, while 2.2% or 92,000 people do not have broadband Internet access at all.
Minister Sinisa Hajdas Doncic said that the purpose of the project was to ensure that all people had new-generation broadband Internet access, given that private operators invest only in most populated parts of the country including large towns, which covers only about 30% of the population.
The project will be elaborated within three months.
