Reshuffling the connectivity ecosystem – additional readings

On 20 April 2023 the Centre for a Digital Society organised the online seminar “Reshuffling the connectivity ecosystem“. The seminar fostered an engaged and balanced debate on timely issues for the future of the telecommunications sector, gathering perspectives from academics and industry leaders. During the discussion, the speakers referred to various reports, academic reports and other sources on the topic, some of which we have the pleasure to share with participants and all those who are interested in the topic.

Moreover, the recordings of the event will soon be published on our Resources repository.
