This conference will examine the proposed Digital Networks Act (DNA) as a major reconfiguration of the EU regulatory framework for electronic communications, replacing the existing directive-based regime with a directly applicable regulation.
Bringing together policymakers, regulators, industry representatives, and academics, the event will explore how the DNA reshapes the governance of digital networks by constraining national discretion, centralising selected decisions at EU level, where fragmentation has demonstrably failed. Across two days of keynote and thematic panels, the conference will assess the legal, economic, institutional, and geopolitical implications of the DNA for investment, competition, resilience, and the functioning of the digital single market.
FTTH Council President Francesco Nonno joins the panel on copper-fibre migration alongside regulators, economists, and operators, unpacking the competition dynamics, consumer implications, and operational risks of the transition Europe can't afford to get wrong.
The programme also covers spectrum and satellite governance, cybersecurity and crisis preparedness, and the deeper question behind all of it: does moving from directive to regulation actually change how decisions get made. And is it enough?
Both in-person in Florence and online.
