 Pau should, ultimately, be fully connected to a fibre optic network (Pau Broadband Country) of the agglomeration of Pau-Pyrénées communities which will allow a data transfer rate of 10 to 100 megabits per second (and 1 gigabit per second for some companies) and applications of types such as VoIP, online services and "webTV".Pau is the third city in Europe, after Stockholm and Milan, to have developed a very high-speed fibre optic network.The project has cost 30 million euros and has been spread over five years.
