The Danish Enterprise and Construction Authority (DECA), has now published an analysis of the social and economic benefits associated with the decision in 2002 to provide the official Danish address data “free of charge” for public as well as commercial re-use.
The main conclusion of the study is that the direct financial benefits from the agreement for society in the period 2005-2009 amount to around EUR 62 million (~DKK 471 million). Until 2009 the total costs of the agreement has been around EUR 2 million.
In 2010 it is estimated that social benefits from the agreement will be about EUR 14 million, while costs will total about EUR 0.2 million. About 2.4 million Danish addresses exists, so the assessed benefit equals to 6 EUR per address per year.
An 8-page memo presenting the study and the results is published in Danish and English:

Last Updated (Thursday, 24 June 2010 09:06) European Address ForumOver the last decade it has become widely acknowledged that well constructed addressing systems and good quality address data constitute an important part of a society’s infrastructure. More recently, the work done by EURADIN, a Best Practice Network funded by the EU under the eContentplus programme, has again shown this to be true. Every day addresses are used as a common language to provide citizens, business entities and public administrations with a simple and clear description of locations. The majority of economic activity consists of people in organizations supplying goods and services to other people and organizations at places described by an address. Good quality addressing can make a substantial difference to the efficiency with which this is done and has a material impact upon the value or cost of the services provided. Additionally, addresses are used as the common reference, when people or applications need to join or exchange information fro Additionally, addresses are used as the common reference, when people or applications need to join or exchange information from different sources. This is becoming increasingly important in our joined-up high-tech world. Better addressing thus has substantial economic and practical value and a very considerable, even if often unrecognized, importance; the European Address Forum wants to encourage the realization of its benefits, from emergency response efficiency to new value-added products and applications .
