Broadband e-Services and Access for the Home Promoting broadband across Europe

BReATH is a Specific Support Action project (number: FP6-IST-3-015893-SSA) funded by the European Commission 6th Framework Programme under the Information Society Technologies thematic area. This area is intended to stimulate the development in Europe of both hardware and software technologies and applications at the heart of the creation of the information society in order to increase the competitiveness of European industry and allow European citizens the possibility of benefiting fully from the development of the knowledge-based society.

The main objective of BReATH is to stimulate and support the transfer of know-how and best practices in planning and delivering broadband e-services and access to the EU New Member States and Associated Candidate Countries, involving as many stakeholders and actors as possible and fostering cross-border research collaboration.
