Future of European Telecommunications

Join us for a presentation of the latest CERRE project on the Future of EU Telecommunications Regulation and a stimulating discussion with representatives from European institutions, national regulators, industry players, and the CERRE academic team.

Telecommunication networks and infrastructures, and the connectivity they provide, are fundamental for the development of the digital economy and society.

For Europe to realize its full potential in the digital economy, a robust telecommunications sector capable of supporting the deployment of Very High Capacity Networks (VHCNs) is essential.

To this end, the European Union (EU) has set ambitious connectivity targets for 2030, aiming for comprehensive gigabit networks and next-generation wireless high-speed networks.

However, the current regulatory framework, established in 2002, was created for a vastly different European telecommunications landscape.

It was intended to be phased out as electronic communications markets became effectively competitive.

Given the evolution of competitive options available to consumers, the development of new business models, and the renewed commitments to infrastructure deployment, the question arises: What should a future-proof EU regulatory framework for telecommunications look like? How will technological and geopolitical developments influence this framework? How will the ongoing push for a new EU industrial strategy shape the regulatory environment?

In the context of the European Commission finalizing its consultation on 'Europe’s digital infrastructure needs,' these questions are vital for the EU as it charts its course towards achieving its digital and economic goals.

This event is free and open to all, but registration is required.

Viewers will have the chance to submit questions for the panellists during the event.

This event will be livestreamed on Zoom and the recording will be available to replay on the CERRE YouTube channel afterwards.
