Synopsis
Broadband is spreading like wildfire, and the countries that were early adopters, especially, are reaping the benefits, as these countries are now at the forefront of the developments in the digital content markets. A true revolution is on the way, in which both Western and Eastern Europe will play a role. It is mainly about video-based content and services; however more communicative services around social networks are transforming the way we communicate with each other, and are supporting the underlying markets of software, hardware, broadcasting and telecoms. E-maps are following the Wikipedia trend of cooperatively building global knowledge bases.
