Read MoreAs of this week, senders of Digitale Nota who are serviced by Billington, can also reach their customers who are using the Postbank internet banking environment (mijnPostbank.nl). By connecting ING with the 3 main Biller Service Providers, the Digitale Nota is now fully operational and there is no reason anymore not to realize a full scale roll-out of the Digitale Nota. The number of senders is now expected to grow rapidly.
“Because of this milestone, we expect that organizations will make the step towards implementing the Digitale Nota and offer it to their customers very soon. The market will grow exponentially and competition will be fierce. But Billington, being a 100% subsidiary of ING, is ready for this”, says Job van Luyken, Managing Director of Billington.

Broadband access is increasing
In the EU27, 93% of enterprises of ten or more persons employed had access to the internet in January 2008, the same as in January 2007, and 81% of enterprises had a broadband internet connection, up from 77% in January 2007. On average in the EU27, 64% of enterprises had a website in January 2008, compared with 63% in January 2007. These data2 come from Eurostat, the Statistical Office of the European Communities, and form part of the results of a community survey conducted at the beginning of 2008 on Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in enterprises in the EU27 Member States, Iceland and Norway. Besides the indicators presented, the survey also covers e-commerce, e-government and e-business indicators.
Almost all enterprises in the Netherlands and Finland have internet access
In January 2008, the highest proportions of enterprises with internet access in the EU27 were recorded in the Netherlands and Finland (both 99%), Denmark (98%) and Belgium, Austria and Slovenia (97% each). The percentage was less than 90% in only five Member States: Romania (67%), Bulgaria (83%), Hungary (86%), Latvia (88%) and Cyprus (89%).
The proportion of enterprises with a broadband connection in January 2008 was above 90% in Spain, France and Finland (92% each) and in Belgium (91%). Only in Romania (44%), Lithuania (56%) and Poland (59%) did less than 60% of enterprises have a broadband connection.
The data show that while internet access appears to be approaching saturation in nearly all Member States, the level of broadband internet access is still increasing.
