Fixed broadband coverage rate in Romania currently stands at 80%, while fiber coverage stands at 93%, Marius Saceanu, secretary general of the National Authority for Management and Regulation in Communications (ANCOM), told a specialist conference on last Thursday."A very interesting thing is that there is not a very big discrepancy between urban and rural, namely 86% in urban, 72% in rural areas.
