Broadband infrastructure

A connection is the physical connection point that allows a user to access the operators' telecommunication network and thus the services they offer.  As new forms of telecommunications develop very rapidly, previous technologies are rapidly becoming obsolete. The table below has been simplified accordingly. More detailed information is still available in the linked data file.
