37Therefore it must be held that mobile communication services are, by definition, as the Advocate General observed in point 46 of his Opinion, excluded from the minimum set of universal services defined in Chapter II of the Universal Service Directive, because their provision does not presuppose access and a connection at a fixed location to a public communications network. Similarly, it must be found that internet subscription services provided by means of mobile communication services do not come within that minimum set. On the other hand, internet subscription services are included in that set if in order for them to be provided there must be a connection to the internet at a fixed location.
