Date and time: 7 June 2023, 10:20 GMT
Location: Cavendish Conference Centre - London, United Kingdom
Organiser: Mobile Europe
Our Director General Vincent Garnier moderated a roundtable panel discussion as part of the programme of Telecoms Europe LIVE. The session featured some high-level representatives from the UK and broader European market such as Clayton Nash, Strategy Director at CityFibre, Oliver Helm, CEO at Full Fibre, and José Pedro Nascimento, Director of Network Engineering and Operations at Altice Portugal, who shared their views on the main trends impacting the telecom industry.
Abstract:
Rival fibre providers are overbuilding, and suffering from low conversions rates of paying subscribers from premises passed and downward price pressure. Can customer experience really be a differentiator? How is private funding changing the market? COVID drove a boom in fibre build-outs in Europe – what other geopolitical and economic factors are having an impact now? Are their new developments in fibre and deployment technologies that help the economics?
