Abstract

The services of general interest represent an important component of the cohesion policy of the European Union, particularly in relation to its territorial dimension, which envisages, inter alia, the fair and affordable access to this type of services. Nevertheless, considering the large variety of the European Union territories it is almost impossible to establish basic quantitative levels for all. These levels encounter variations depending on geographical and demographic aspects, traditions, life style, etc., being subject to national policies. However, the availability, accessibility, affordability, and quality principles in the provision of services of general interest must be met. This paper proposes a case study which examines the accessibility of internet services in a rural-intermediate region, the North-East region of Romania. The research is based on both the interpretation of available statistical data and the analysis of a survey results which was undertaken under the auspices of an ESPON project.
