Europe’s Digital Future: Navigating the Path of Connectivity and Innovation
Europe needs to scale up to remain competitive against tech rivals. In the published White Paper on the future of telecommunications, the EU executive body acknowledged the needs for digital infrastructure in Europe, by introducing lighter regulation as a springboard for a level playing field to allow more deal-making and synergies between network operators. It also challenges operators to deliver the investments needed for the bloc’s digital transformation.
Questions to be addressed include:
- How can the EU leverage investments to boost connectivity and who should contribute?
- What are the main advantages and risks with in-market consolidation for the telecoms industry?
- Does the White Paper on the future of telecoms address the market needs?
- How can lighter regulation make the industry flourish without hampering competition for smaller players?
- How to ensure a level playing field between technology and telecoms companies which offer similar services?
- What will be the stand-out expectations of the new European leadership in the context of the market’s needs and infrastructure?
