c) review of existing situation in regard to broadband in Greece and localization of the root causes for the low penetration rate,
d) evaluation of the actions that have been completed, or are still under development or they have been decided and will be developed in Greece,
e) analysis of the competition in the Greek market for broadband connections,
f) mapping out of a Strategy for the growth of broadband in Greece and the improvement of relative indicators eEurope 2005 and iEurope 2010,
