Feedback from Europeans for Safe Connections
We “Europeans for Safe Connections” suggest the following changes:
The topic 06 should contain another Detailed Topic (just after the Access to ICT):
“Type of connection” with these Variable identifiers:
- IACC_EHT
- IACC_WIFI
- IACC_LIFI
- IACC_4G
- IACC_5G
The topic 06, detailed topic “Barriers and problems to use” should contain additional Variable identifiers:
- IUNUEP – Reasons for not using the internet in the last 3 months – respondent feels environmental responsibility, because internet connected devices create environmental pollution when designed, produced and distributed in many respects that cannot be compensated through the use of these devices.
- BEC – Problems encountered with the connectivity – lack of ethernet connectivity or landline connectivity and lack of devices offering cabled internet connection.
Best regards
