Some lessons learned from the EU project "Broadband e-Services and Access to the Home" (2005-2007) are presented concerning the broadband development in rural ar- eas. In particular, the paper discusses the common problems of broadband deployment in the rural environment, various aspects of stimulating demand for broadband, the limitations of public aid and, most importantly, the problems of technoeconomic analysis.
