Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
Europe dreams of closing digital gap with
the U.S.
One currency in most of the EU countries.
One passport control to the 28-country region with a population of five billion.
Yet, the travelers still have to pay roaming charges to access the Internet or to
make a call by their smart or legacy phone, and e-commerce is far from
borderless due to the local taxations and regulations.
There seems to be no surprise why European
counties have been lagging far behind the US in innovating business or
practicing services, especially for consumers.
Now the European Commission disclosed its
aggressive plan to catch up and surpass America’s innovative and entrepreneurial
leadership in the digital arena amid the time when some of its member states
are on the brink of bankruptcy or resignation from the membership.
Enjoy reading and learning what and how the
EU is trying to accelerate the speed to run in the digital race.
