Response to Policy Program - Digital Decade Compass

13 Dec 2021

GIGAEurope, the trade association that brings together private operators who build, operate and invest in gigabit networks, thanks the European Commission for the opportunity to provide feedback on the initiative launched on 16 September 2021 on a “Proposal for a Decision of the European Parliament and of the Council establishing the 2030 Policy Programme “Path to the Digital Decade”. GIGAEurope welcomes the ambition in the Commission’s 2030 Digital Decade targets. As private operators investing in Gigabit fixed & 5G mobile infrastructures, we believe that the Commission is focusing on the right pillars and sets the right level of ambition. While we regard all pillars as equally important, we regard the connectivity pillar as a prerequisite to deliver on the others. The objective of bringing Gigabit Connectivity into every household and 5G in all populated areas of the EU by 2030 builds on earlier targets but is particularly challenging to achieve. As outlined in more detail in the attached document, GIGAEurope believes the solutions to accelerate coverage of Gigabit & 5G networks to 100% and attract private investment into European digital infrastructure are (i) EU policy reforms (ii) National implementation of EU rules and (iii) Member States’ Implementation of connectivity best practices. GIGAEurope believes the onus is on the Member States to create a positive, enabling environment in their strategic roadmaps that conveys long term legal security and a perspective on ROI for private infrastructure investors. In the attachment, GIGAEurope proposes a number of concrete improvements to current national policy practices and to the proposed 'Path to the Digital Decade' Decision.
