"The digital integration is a priority", has hammered the prime minister Edward Philip Friday in the Gers, where it has announced two new measures to combat the exclusion of this technology, the "stop-digital cohesion" and the "pass" digital. The president of the Republic, Emmanuel Macron, has set out the objectives to be achieved in France: ensure by 2020, access to good broadband (a minimum of 8bits) anywhere in the territory and the high speed broadband for all as soon as 2022.

However, recognised the prime minister, "we know that a number of households will not have broadband with fibre by 2020", particularly because of the extent of the territory, population density is sometimes low or reliefs to be complicated. The government has, therefore, imagined "the atm digital cohesion", which will be operational this Friday, "for support via the operators of the equipment of these homes in solutions of receiving over-the-air", the envelope amounting to 100 million euros. This will enable you to assign up to 150 euros per household, which will be matched by local authorities, said the prime minister.

Launching of a "pass" digital

"The idea is to say: if we can't bring fiber and broadband everywhere, it must accompany the final consumer in a piece of equipment that will allow him to receive the same service," he explained, citing the title of the equipment possible satellite antennas, antennas, radios, the housings 4G fixed... "The device is operational as of today for satellite and wireless local loop. For the 4G is fixed, this will be the case at the end of the first half," said Édouard Philippe.

It also announced the launch of a 'pass digital", aiming to "provide a digital capacity to those who lack it". This tool will indicate to the person in trouble "how it can be formed, where it can be formed, and which even accompanied him financially." The device has been experienced for 2017 in the Gironde, in the Ardèche, in Guiana or at The Meeting, recalled Édouard Philippe. "We are going to generalize this practice and to bring 10 million euros in the side of communities" for the fund, he assured.
