🗣️ Challenging industry narratives: "...enabling competition, promoting innovation, and safeguarding an open Internet are as important as ever. But to achieve these goals, policymakers must start by recognizing that Europe is in a much better position than some voices might have you believe."
🗣️ Reframing telecoms’ role: "It's important for European policymakers to recognize that telecom operators are not an end in themselves—they are infrastructures."
🗣️Internet’s foundational role: "Safeguarding global connectivity and preserving the Internet as an open platform that supports all sectors of the economy is essential."
