In April 2021, the government of Austria allocated €1.4 billion (US$1.7bn) by 2026 to speed up fixed broadband rollouts. These funds will come from the resilience fund of the EU, the current budget, and the raised revenues from the frequency awards in 2019 and 2020 (€389m/US$433m).
This budget aims to provide all citizens with access to high-speed broadband and balance the opportunities between rural areas and metropolitan areas. This fund will support achieving the Austrian national broadband strategy ‘Breitband Strategy 2030’ targets, which aim to provide nationwide gigabit-capable broadband connectivity by 2030.
