WELCOME
Find out how the European Commission aims to accelerate investments in fast broadband through reforming EU telecoms rules. This issue also looks the EU investment of £21m in UK provider Hyperoptic’s 1G network. We also look at a new study from Industry-Insights, commissioned by Prysmian, which underlines the importance of competition in developing broadband access, whilst recognizing the limits of the market-driven model. A feature on Italy shows how the country is taking a leading global position in fibre and copper cabling solutions.
A recently published report from French telecom regulator Arcep details France’s broadband retail and wholesale markets. Another report, from the US Rural Broadband Association, highlights the successes of independent, community-based telecommunications companies.
There are some interesting technology contributions in the edition, too: new Prysmian plants in Slatina and Presov and new cables that could be 50,000 times faster than fibre. We also discuss connected Smart Lighting with Mark Ashurst, Director of Thought Leadership at Philips Lighting.
