Why telecoms matters? ☎   The importance of strong, reliable, resilient connectivity goes far beyond being able to stay connected on a day to day basis. It’s important for EU competitiveness, industry, the environment, farmers, rural citizens and healthcare📱   Find out more in a new report published by Vodafone, outlining why telecoms should be a priority for Ireland, the EU and member state governments: https://lnkd.in/eSvgZc4s

The report "Financing Broadband Networks of the Future": Official Link: https://lnkd.in/gTZrwr8u Key Highlights: - Communication operators continue to invest considerably in constant and mobile broadband, with average revenue growth of 2.1 % and strong earnings margins. - However, the go-back on invested capital (ROIC) for operators has been step by step, probably due to variations in the cost of capital, marketplace situations, and opposition. - Operators are increasing debt levels, taking advantage of low-price capital availability. - Regional differences in mobile ARPU persist, with the US and Canada outperforming Europe and Asia-Pacific. - Broadband investment decisions are driven by revenue, returns, and interest rates, as operators balance shareholder value and network upgrades. - Mobile network operators are divesting tower assets, leading to the rise of specialized tower companies offering expanded services. - Tech giants and financial investors are increasingly shaping the communication infrastructure landscape through strategic global investments. This complete OECD - OCDE report provides treasured insights into the evolving financing fashions helping the deployment of destiny-ready broadband networks. As the digital economic system keeps transforming, knowledge of these developments is vital for industry stakeholders. #Broadband #Telecoms #Infrastructure #Financing #TechInvestments #OECD

Today, we published our report, Platform for Progress. Our first report takes a critical look at the current state of the UK broadband market and advocates for three crucial areas to safeguard the UKs digital future: • A stable regulatory environment which continues to attract the much-needed investment in the UK’s digital infrastructure. • A regulatory framework which ensures a consistent and equitable playing field for all operators. • A market characterised by sustainable competition rather than fragmented sub-scale operators. Uniquely positioned in the market, nexfibre is providing high-quality fibre access to millions of households, while also shaping the market itself by fostering sustainable competition and innovation. This will empower people and businesses by accelerating the full-fibre rollout, attract investment that benefits the entire UK economy, and promote innovation by continually exploring and investing in cutting-edge technologies. Our CEO Rajiv Datta discussed the report with Total Telecom: https://lnkd.in/ecmBRqKX If you want to read the report in more detail, find it here: https://lnkd.in/eexYmnMw

Towards pro-investment market structures in the telecom sector. Europe needs to adapt the competition framework to improve the European telecom sector’s investment climate After two decades of heavy regulation on competition and prices, with ultra low stock prices massive job cuts all over European markets and a huge shift towards content networks, there’s an opportunity now to reinvest in a core market and new opportunities for telecom network providers and carriers. Telecommunications conglomerates such as Vodafone and Deutsche Telekom are trading at around 0.85 times price/fair value compared with streamlined firms such as Tele2 and BT, which are fairly valued at 0.97. Historically, conglomerates have more complicated corporate structures and lower cash flow visibility due to different market dynamics in each country and currency fluctuations.

Mobile Infrastructure Forum welcomes the Mobile UK manifesto detailing the crucial support needed from the incoming Government to enable full capitalisation on opportunities to meet the increasing mobile data demand in the UK. Our Chair, Belinda Fawcett, commented "The impact of mobile technology on real lives is undeniable. We must prioritise policy reform, easing planning regulations and bolstering investment to unlock the potential of the industry." Mobile UK's report makes the case of economic significance indisputable, stating that £5 is generated in the UK economy for every £1 invested by mobile operators.

Digital connectivity is a necessary utility, playing an integral role in both our personal and professional lives. However, for a country with the sixth largest gross domestic product, the UK finds itself facing a significant challenge in meeting its digital connectivity rollout targets. Our head of infrastructure Darren Zitren MRICS FITP discusses this further following the launch of our recent connectivity research. #connectingtodayfortomorrow. #digitalconnectivity https://lnkd.in/emcxycNw Gráinne Gilmore.

🚀 Revitalizing Europe's Digital Infrastructure: A Call to Action for Innovation Europe’s digital landscape is at a pivotal point, hindered by regulatory hurdles and market fragmentation. But within these challenges lies an opportunity to reshape the continent’s telecom industry for the better. Here's a deeper look: Fragmentation and Scale: Europe’s telecom market is splintered into over 20 separate markets, preventing operators from harnessing economies of scale and keeping costs higher than they could be. Consumer Spending Patterns: European consumers spend less on mobile services compared to their U.S. counterparts, missing out on the benefits of an innovative, competitive market. Opportunities in Network Sharing: With 80% of Europe’s population concentrated in 20% of the landmass, a shared network infrastructure could greatly reduce costs and improve rural connectivity. Collaborative Approach: A government-led, not-for-profit telecom entity, backed by the industry, could unify European infrastructure. A pan-EU initiative could maximize economies of scale and deliver better services. Is now the time for Europe to embrace these transformative changes and lead the way to a more connected future? #DigitalTransformation #EUInfrastructure #TelecomInnovation #NetworkSharing #OpenRAN #EconomiesOfScale #ConnectivityRevolution #EuropeanTech #TelecomReform #FutureOfConnectivity https://lnkd.in/dQQbw8hF

Given many people are correctly asking #EUCommissioner Henna Virkkunen to disconnect EU Digital & Tech from the previous #policy of favouring #incumbentTelcos over the rest of #Europe, it's important to keep flagging the unanimity of positions asking for a new and positive approach, not the approach by Connect Europe that would lead to #marketfailure and the end of #netNeutrality. Here a very clear summary by the #Dutch #government: "The report concludes that the European telecoms sector is financially healthy in general and and will be able to sail through the current (networks) investment cycle." As the #DraghiReport confirms, we don't need the #EU and #Commission to intervene to turn a functioning #market into a failed one through unneeded #regulation. https://lnkd.in/gVJGR2df #CCIAeurope CCIA Europe #digitalEU #telcowelfare #competition #competitiveness #telecoms #connectivity #DNA #networkfees #cloud #fairshare
