Abstract

PurposeThis paper aims to give an overview of EU‐level e‐inclusion policy providing elements for the context for reflection on the role and shape of universal service.Design/methodology/approachThe paper provides an account of the drivers and principles of EU e‐inclusion policy.FindingsThe paper finds that e‐inclusion – at this stage – needs a comprehensive and coherent approach addressing any social and economic exclusion factor with the help of ICT, addressing the risk of ICT as a factor of exclusion, bringing together the market, society, and user perspectives and seeking a “triple‐win”, and pro‐actively and forward‐looking combination of policy tools that can help to realize e‐inclusion.Originality/valueThe paper provides a contribution to the discussion on universal service from the wider perspective of EU e‐inclusion policy.
