The EC has unveiled a set of actions to ensure gigabit connectivity is available across the EU by 2030. We examine how its proposals seek to lower infrastructure deployment costs, and the guidance it provides for regulating access to operators' networks.
Also in the briefing:
Big tech: EU vs US
As the date from which Europe's DMA and DSA will apply draws closer, we look to the US to see how attempts there to promote digital competition are developing. Will Europe's model become the de-facto regulation for large online platforms?
UK policy update
The UK Government has created a new department to oversee the telecoms and tech sectors, assuming responsibilities from DCMS. Elsewhere in Westminster, broadband access, social tariffs and digital exclusion have all been on the agenda – we explore why.
Regulating AI
While the UK's approach to regulating AI has been widely praised, there are concerns it will fall behind the US and China in development of generative AI such as ChatGPT. Should there be a government-led development of sovereign general-purpose AI systems?
