Digital Networks Act: new coordinates for the telecommunications sector

The EU Commission’s proposal on the Digital Network Act redefines the rules of the TLC sector to foster technological development and available services. It aims to homogenise standards, harmonise the internal market, close Europe’s investment and infrastructure gap relative to North America and Asia, regain technological sovereignty and strategic autonomy, and ensure network security and resilience and reliable connections.

The DNA will touch on several aspects – licensing; technical rules, data management, cybersecurity, fair share mechanism for network financing – and will have a decisive impact on the ability to develop a digital environment to help expand all sectors of Europeans’ economic and social life. This development must safeguard the principle of net neutrality, guarantee competition without penalising competitive European operator aggregations at a global level, attract investment and distribute infrastructure costs fairly, and enforce the same rules for the same service types.

What solutions does the EU Commission propose? What do TLC operators need? How will the proposal be received by the European Parliament and the Member States?

Leading representatives of institutions, together with authoritative representatives of major companies operating in the sector, will discuss these questions at Connact Net & Tech 2025.

The event is organised in cooperation with the European Parliament and enjoys the highest institutional patronage.

Promoters of the Connact platform include Fastweb+Vodafone, Fibercop, Open Fiber, Tim and Wind Tre.
