• Due to further technology development Due to further technology development ((which will which will surely demand FO Internet for data transferring and surely demand FO Internet for data transferring and processingprocessing) ) Ukraine will have no possibility to Ukraine will have no possibility to participate in modern joint scientific projectsparticipate in modern joint scientific projects

• We will lose the time and probably will have no We will lose the time and probably will have no possibility to catch up European scientific communitypossibility to catch up European scientific community

A4.4 Other Dissemination Activities

Search for additional (apart from national) sources of funding for future fibre deployment from the EC (FP7, ENP?), EU States national funds dedicated for assisting developing countries and international organizations that are actively involved in the targeted regions, such as UNESCO, NATO, the World Bank, etc.
