A man walks into a bar...A tale of telecom investment woes
2017-10-13 02:00:00| Total Telecom industry news
The European telecoms market is very much like a young man going out on the pull and failing. As unlikely as that metaphor might seem, that was the message from many of the stakeholders gathered in Lisbon this week for Connected Europe, although it took industry industry analyst John Strand to put it into those words. Discussions with the investment community show that Europe is considered a less attractive region to invest in than others worldwide, Strand said. "It's basically like if you're single, you go to a bar, you meet a nice girl and she says, 'listen, you're the least attractive man in this bar,'" he said.

MEPs approve updated telecom rules, call for cheaper long-distance calls

(Telecompaper) The European Parliament's Committee on Industry, Research and Energy (ITRE) has approved an updated version of the proposed Electronic Communications Code, announcing that the revised rules will give citizens better access to telephone and internet networks. In a statement, the parliament said committee MEPs agreed that EU communications companies should be required to justify when they charge additional fees to users calling from mobiles or landlines to another EU member state. "The regulating of intra-EU calls is the next logical step and will demonstrate our will to make steady improvements for the citizens and businesses of Europe," said MEP Pilar del Castillo, rapporteur on the bill. The Body of European Regulators for Electronic Communications (Berec) would be tasked with setting out guidelines on how service providers could recover the costs they incur in other ways.
