The EU has proposed ambitious objectives in terms of connectivity with the targets enshrined in the Europe’s Digital Decade initiative: gigabit connectivity and 5G for all by 2030, amongst others. Meanwhile, European telecom operators have scaled up their efforts in order to upgrade their respective networks and have already invested 500bn euro over the past 10 years. Delivering fibre and 5G connectivity service is essential for Europe to provide for state of the art services to citizens, public authorities and businesses and to ensure a swift finalisation of the digital and green transitions, which also need to be accelerated in light of the current geopolitical context.
