The White Paper “How to master Europe’s digital infrastructure needs?” analyses the challenges Europe currently faces in the rollout of future connectivity networks and presents possible scenarios going forward. The challenges are multiple: technology, investment needs, lack of single markets for telecoms, lack of a level playing field, dependency, fragmented approach to radio spectrum management, need for more innovation and industrial capabilities across the telecom value chain, sustainability and security.
There are several possible scenarios to address those challenges, attract investments, foster innovation, increase security, and achieve a true Digital Single Market.
This adopted act is open for feedback for a period of 18 week(s). All feedback received will be summarised by the European Commission and presented to the European Parliament and Council with the aim of feeding into the legislative debate.
