“We recognise the hard work by European policymakers to reach agreement on the text of the Gigabit Infrastructure Act. Increasing the speed and reducing the costs of deploying network infrastructure in Europe has never been more crucial for the continent’s future economic success. While some aspects of the agreement unfortunately appear to no longer match the initial level of ambition set out by the EU Commission, we will continue to engage in this process, including a thorough impact assessment for Intra-EU calls. In addition, we look forward to participating in the broader process towards a new framework for digital connectivity, including the forthcoming Digital Networks Act, to ensure that operators’ ability to invest remains a key priority.”
