Uncover the Future of Europe's Digital Landscape: The Digital Networks Act (DNA) and its Impact on the Open Internet
The Digital Networks Act (DNA): A Game-Changer for Europe's Digital Future?
The European Commission's upcoming DNA is set to revolutionize the way we connect in Europe. But what does this mean for the open internet, and how will it impact the digital landscape? Join us as we delve into the heart of this debate and explore the potential risks and opportunities.
Panel 1: The Great Convergence: Myth or Reality?
The telecoms and tech sectors are increasingly intertwined, but should they be regulated as one? In this panel, we'll explore the structural and functional differences between these sectors, and examine the collaborative dynamics that underpin their relationships. We'll also discuss the patchwork of existing EU frameworks and whether extending the EECC to digital actors is necessary, fair, or even workable.
Panel 2: The Open Internet at Risk?
The DNA has sparked concerns about the open internet. In this panel, we'll examine the reality of collaboration between telecoms and tech, and assess dangerous proposals that keep resurfacing. We'll also explore how any form of dispute resolution for IP interconnection could evolve into network fees, fundamentally reshaping the way the internet functions today.
Panel 3: Delivering for Europeans: The DNA's Potential
How can the DNA truly deliver best-in-class connectivity and foster competition? In this panel, we'll cut through the perception to examine the realities: the financial health of telecom companies, the state of network roll-out, and the dynamics between tech and telcos. We'll also explore the persistent arguments driving the DNA debate and consider what legislative design choices could make the DNA genuinely effective for European consumers, businesses, and innovators.
Join the Conversation!
Join us for this hybrid event and be part of the discussion on the future of Europe's digital landscape. Together, we can explore the risks and opportunities, and jointly debate what kind of DNA will truly serve Europeans in the years ahead.
