Panel 3 - Policy & Regulation

What is the expected impact of the latest set of initiatives from the European Commission on the European FTTH market? Are we on track to meet the Commission's objectives for the digital transformation of Europe by 2030, as spelled out by the "Path to the Digital Decade" policy programme? What are the operators' strategies to support the achievement of such ambitious goals? How are regulators across Europe reacting to this dynamic scenario?

This thought-provoking panel with prominent leaders from the European Commission, BEREC, and senior representatives from major fibre operators will answer these questions and much more, shedding light on the latest policy and regulatory developments affecting the FTTH market.

Speakers: Alex Blowers - Director of Regulatory Affairs at CityFibre, Jakob Greiner - Vice President European Affairs at Deutsche Telekom, Juan Montero Rodil - Chief Public Policy, Competition and Regulatory Officer at Telefónica, Kamila Kloc - Acting Director B, Connectivity – DG CONNECT at European Commission, and Konstantinos Masselos - BEREC Chair 2023 - moderated by Philippe Defraigne - Director at Cullen International
