Exciting Developments in the Net Neutrality Debate Yesterday’s #netneutrality decision by the #FCC will surely prompt another wave of research on this topic, which I believe is the right reaction to ensure that the issue continues to be debated on scientific grounds. A recent empirical research article by Wolfgang Dr. Briglauer et al. suggests decreased fiber investments, for example. [Link to the paper: https://lnkd.in/d2VBCn7n] Christopher Yoo 's article discusses the nuances of deviations from net neutrality before EU and US laws and compares their interpretations. [Link to the paper: https://lnkd.in/dumJNs9i] I believe the policy debate on this issue is likely to continue by dissecting and addressing the welfare implications of nuanced applications of deviations from net neutrality, such as throttling and paid prioritization. For more insights, here are my previous posts on the issue. https://lnkd.in/dHiaGvCP https://lnkd.in/dWXHgk8W #netneutrality #regulation #fcc #publicpolicy #antitrust  #telecomm #internetserviceprovider #contentprovider #streaming #LinkedInDiscussion #telecom

How can we accelerate the energy transition? In a recent conversation with Leo Birnbaum, Chief Executive Officer of E.ON, our Fabian Billing discussed the major bottlenecks that need to be overcome to accelerate the energy transition. They also explored opportunities for investment, productivity and innovation. Leo advocates for a more pragmatic approach, with more openness to technology and market orientation. He shared his perspective on the potential of a power plant strategy to manage system costs and foster acceptance of rising electricity prices. He explored the possibilities that AI presents for more flexible demand management and the effective navigation of an increasingly complex energy landscape. In addition, Leo shared his insights into how these trends will affect managers and leadership, as well as the elements that will determine his future strategy.

Deloitte's survey of over 30,000 Europeans highlights a growing optimism towards generative AI, amidst varying levels of trust. While 65% of business leaders are boosting investments, success hinges on closing the trust gap between organizations, consumers and employees. Trust is critical for widespread adoption. Despite Gen AI's potential to revolutionize workplaces, only 51% trust businesses to use it responsibly. Concerns about deepfakes, misinformation, and data misuse persist. To bridge the trust gap, companies must prioritize data privacy, provide training, and ensure transparent AI practices. As the European AI market grows, trust and ethical implementation are not just goals—they are business fundamentals. #GenerativeAI #TrustInAI #Innovation #Deloitte #AIAdoption #BusinessTransformation

Join me on June 10 in #Dubai at the MENA Oceans summit to find ways to collaborate for the sustainable management of our oceans (and seas) and to balance economic development with conservation. Roland Berger is supporting the initiative (as knowledge partner) along a number of organizations including the UAE وزارة التغير المناخي والبيئة Ministry of Climate Change and Environment and the United Nations. The event will highlight regional perspectives and achievements in the lead-up to the United Nations Ocean Conference 2025 taking place in Nice, France. It will also bring together numerous stakeholders to tackle key #ocean #biodiversity and #blueeconomy issues from 1) the translation of scientific research to policy and business decisions, to 2) the need for multilateral/cross-border collaboration on common frameworks and targets, 3) the design of practical solutions and technologies and the role of the private sector and entrepreneurs, and 4) the urgent need for the right financing mechanisms. #oceans #biodiversity #blueeconomy #conservation #mena #rolandberger #redsea #mediterranean #arabiansea René Seyger Prof. Dr. Torsten Henzelmann Hani Tohme Mario Sanchez Filippo Ghizzoni Claire Pernet Brégain Jan Gerrit Köchling Dragos Fundulea Ismail Alaoui Floor van Werven Volodymyr Sokurenko Walid Diab Meilin Lee Salma Halawa Ameer A.
