Abstract

A major component of the EU's digitalisation strategy is its targets for universal gigabit connectivity, based on either fixed (mainly FTTH) or mobile (5G) technologies. In order to achieve its objectives, such an ambitious strategy must achieve a fusion of the digital and the physical activities in all sectors of the economy (public and private); in this task, achieving the policy goal of universal connectivity requires that it be efficient, while achieving equitable (or ‘fair’) results. The EU position is that an appropriate balance needs to be struck through regulation which pursues the twin goals of competition and investment, as is now required by the EECC.
