We need a guaranteed community supported (or local gov sponsored) basic (1-2Mbit) connectivity (wifi / 3G / Microcells). This could be supplied at near zero marginal cost by installing a €30 repeater / WiFi access point every time there's a need to service a lamp post, library / church roof etc.
The purpose is not to compete with the free market but to gently "nudge" it into higher product shelves. Right now telecoms have de facto monopoly (oliglopoly) and strive to charge max price for least possible quality service that can be pushed onto market.
