We’re standing at a make or break moment for Europe, and today it was great to have the opportunity to bring together Europe’s connectivity leaders for a discussion with European Commission Executive Vice-President Teresa Ribera.
To close Europe’s investment gap, we need urgent action on three key levers: enabling greater in-market scale, adopting more investment-friendly spectrum policies, and addressing regulatory asymmetries across the digital ecosystem.
Today we discussed the critical role of pro-investment merger guidelines, in line with the encouraging proposals made by the Commission, and a more ambitious Digital Networks Act to ensure Europe keeps pace in an increasingly competitive global landscape.
Aligning policy with investment ambition is critical to close the connectivity gap and unlock the next phase of digital transformation and get Europe back in connectivity race – a clear message delivered by the industry leaders today.
Thank you EVP Teresa Ribera for an open and constructive discussion. Looking forward to continuing our work together as we all aim to secure Europe’s digital future.
