ETNO and GSMA input for the Call for Evidence on virtual worlds (metaverses)

ETNO and GSMA welcome the opportunity to provide input to the European Commission’s Call for Evidence on virtual worlds and the technologies driving the transformation towards the next technological transition. As the boundaries between physical and virtual realities are increasingly to become blurry, enabling more intuitive and immersive experiences, it will be necessary to come up with a clear and concrete regulatory framework, which encourages openness and competition and gives market players important investment securities. This is particularly true since this change is expected to impact citizens, industries and governments alike in many different ways , ranging from connectivity infrastructure to virtual-worlds enabling technologies to cross-cutting issues such as sustainability, privacy, people’s rights and global competitiveness.
