As EU policymakers go 'back to school' after the summer, we outline the key legislative files they will want to progress – if not finalise – by the end of the year. We also discuss challenges for flagship pieces of regulation now in force, such as the DSA.
Also in the briefing:
Trends in deregulation
Is an outdated rule book, national in scope and designed in an era that looks very different to today, hindering the telecoms sector? With some NRAs scaling back regulation, is there an opportunity for a greater 'reset' with a new EU Commission in 2024?
Meeting sustainability targets
Telecoms operators have set targets to reduce their carbon emissions, use more renewable energy, and support the circular economy. We assess what progress are they making against these goals and ask whether policymakers should be more supportive.
