2.2.2. Connectivity

This dimension includes four subdimensions: Fixed broadband take-up, Fixed broadband coverage, Mobile broadband and Broadband price index. It is in this dimension where Catalonia obtains its best position: it ranks third among all EU-27 states, with a value of 64.59%, just below Denmark (74.04%) and the Netherlands (68.44%). Thus, Catalonia has high levels of connectivity in relation to the set of EU states.
