The results of two workshops are summarized below, that were held in Ayia Napa, Cyprus and in Seville, Spain. The purpose of the workshops was to develop a shared understanding regarding the obstacles that prevent the exploitation of broadband technologies and to build commitment within the COST 219ter community to an action agenda for collaboratively addressing the problem. The workshops were organized using the “Interactive Management” methodology. | ||

* Factor #60: The weakness of broad thinking from the disability lobbies | |||
* Factor #50: Lack of understanding of the marketing potential | |||

* Factor #1: Absence of common standards | |||
* Factor #48: Lack of good market incentives or business models | |||
The participants had time to discuss and reflect on the influence map and in general agreed that the arrows in the map made sense to them. In sum, the participants reported their satisfaction that their voices have been heard and documented and communicated their expectations for follow-up activities to address the diagnosis of their needs.<br> <br> | The participants had time to discuss and reflect on the influence map and in general agreed that the arrows in the map made sense to them.
