\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\nKey highlights from the event<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n- The global pandemic placed a spotlight on connectivity and reminded us that advanced telecom networks are essential. The current energy crisis is a further reminder of how resilient infrastructure can make a difference in times of crisis and cannot be taken for granted.<\/li>\n
- Research by BCG for the GSMA estimates<\/a> that a \u201cfull 5G vision\u201d would require tripling yearly capex by 2025-2027, compared with existing levels. There is a need to consider if EU operators are in a position to invest at these levels and whether the right incentives for heavy long-term investment are in place.<\/li>\n
- A comparison with other developed regions (North America, developed Asia Pacific) shows a gap in all relevant metrics, not only from the perspective of operators (revenues per pop and profitability), but also from the perspective of end users (less capex per pop and less broadband consumption).<\/li>\n
- There are several interrelated but equally important aspects for the overall regulatory and policy landscape to enable delivery of the Digital Decade, but it is clear that spectrum policy will have a key role to play.<\/li>\n
- In view of the Commission\u2019s planned legislative proposal on a new RSPP next year, issues such as roadmaps and planning, 6G, comprehensive monitoring, measures to assess effectiveness and best practice guidance need to be considered. In addition, spectrum availability, license duration, renewals and spectrum pricing will be key.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t

Available resources on the topic\u00a0<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n- Vision 2030: Low-Band Spectrum for 5G<\/a>: Low-band spectrum is the cornerstone of digital equality and a driver of broad and affordable connectivity. This analysis examines why governments and regulators must take a fresh look at the need for additional sub-1 GHz spectrum to deliver 5G.<\/li>\n
- Vision 2030: Insights for Mid-band Spectrum Needs<\/a>: Mid-band spectrum is especially important as it offers a good mixture of coverage and capacity for 5G. This report presents the GSMA\u2019s vision for how much mid-band spectrum mobile operators will require between 2025 and 2030 and provides some options for operators to meet this demand.<\/li>\n
- Vision 2030: mmWave Spectrum Needs<\/a>: Access to mmWave frequencies will alllow the full potential of 5G to be realised: lightning-fast download speeds, huge capacity and the lowest latencies. This report looks at the estimated high-band spectrum needs in the 2025 -2030 time frame.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Why is Mid-Band Spectrum Crucial to Economic Growth in Europe?<\/h5>\n
