• drawing up viable master plans for broadband deployment
• assisting in selecting appropriate funding instruments
• project management for the subsidy procedure – from the assets inventory and assessing requirements to the selection stage, evaluating bids and recommendations for awarding contracts
• making effective use of synergies in existing local infrastructures to make optimum use of funds by involving all the local infrastructure providers
• ensuring the project progresses in compliance with the subsidy guidelines, clarifying remaining issues with the regions providing the subsidies
• projects implemented in accordance with the “profitability gap” and “operator model” approaches
• As a result, more than 50,000 broadband lines were added with speeds of 16 to 50 Mbps that are state-of-the-art.
