This first phase of disbursement of the bonus, a note recalls, is part of a broader project that also provides for families with Isee income of less than 50,000 euros and for micro, small and medium-sized enterprises the possibility of using vouchers for the connection fast internet. For vouchers to businesses, a figure of 515 million euros has been envisaged, the allocation of which will take place through a gradual incentive based on the quality of connectivity. The Cobul, on the proposal of the Mise, therefore decided to award a voucher ranging from a minimum of 300 euros to a maximum of 2,500 euros, depending on the speed of the connection.
