As demand for high-speed, reliable connectivity grew across Central and Eastern Europe, open access network models emerged as a critical strategy for expanding fibre coverage efficiently, sustainably, and inclusively. This session explored how open access drove competition, attracted investment, and accelerated deployment, while ensuring affordability and service innovation for end-users. Leading experts and industry stakeholders shared experiences, best practices, and evolving business models that balanced commercial viability with broad societal benefits.
Attendees gained practical insights into regulatory enablers, technical considerations, and partnership opportunities that shaped the future of open access in the CEE region. They joined a forward-looking discussion on how collaborative, open infrastructure delivered on Europe’s connectivity goals and supported a thriving digital economy.
