THE 2023 edition of the state of digital communications report is out

Europe has reached record levels of telecom investment, while progressing on both 5G and FTTH coverage. Despite this, new estimates show that the EU risks falling short of its “gigabit for all by 2030” target by 10%.

These are some highlights from the “State of Digital Communications 2023” report presented yesterday by ETNO based on research by leading research firm Analysys Mason. It comes as the European Commission is expected to launch a public consultation on the future of the telecom sector and its ability to invest in new networks.

Lise Fuhr, Director General, ETNO said: “Europe’s digital leadership requires a strong telecom sector. This report sheds a light on the need to support operators who are investing in 5G and fibre networks. All European citizens must be included in our digital future”.

.@RenateNikolay agrees networks roll out is increasing but not at the speed required: risk of digital divide. Massive investment still needed 👉 2 actions: 1️⃣ best use of EU funding 2️⃣ need to have honest debate on how to design our future connectivity policy #StateofDigi

Every time I hear people telling me #telecom companies don’t innovate, I think we should offer them a trip to #MWC. Criticism is often fair, though telcos are anything but static #MWC23
