5G: Empowering Recovery and Fighting Misinformation
Join us for a conversation co-hosted by leading MEPs, as well as the GSMA and ETNO, to discuss the role that 5G can play in the coming months, as Europe copes with the coronavirus recession. During the discussion, we will not only inform about 5G technology and use cases, but also we will discuss the impact that misinformation is having on the public discourse around mobile networks.
