Key quotes:
🗣️ Digital transformation: “Telecom networks are not an objective by itself, but a platform for the digital transformation of public and private sector, but also our everyday life.”
🗣️ Service innovation: “Future networks will not be about speed. (...) the selling point of higher speed is already exhausted... Future networks will be about the new services these networks will make possible.”
🗣️ Technological neutrality: “Our future ambitious connectivity objectives should be technology neutral. We should not get stuck to specific technologies, but (...) achieving our ambitious gigabit connectivity objectives in the most cost-efficient way requires a hybrid technology solution.”
🗣️ Sustainability: “Most important, we should not forget adding the word ‘sustainable’ next to the word ‘future’ as regards telecom networks.”
