Future Network Infrastructure – Who Pays and How?

March 22, 2022

2:00 PM GMT | 10:00 AM ET

About – Future Network Infrastructure – Who Pays and How?

The CAPEX demands of 5G infrastructure are already driving operators worldwide towards increasing network sharing and infrastructure divestments, while the growth in neutral hosting, private networks and more is also setting a trend which is unlikely to reverse. This leads to several questions for the future structure of the industry, such as:

– Are we likely to see new relationships between infrastructure owners, service providers and regulators to deliver on national demands for coverage and broadband?
– What can we learn from alternative business models for infrastructure deployment? What are the implications for how networks are built out in different areas?
– Who needs to own spectrum, and what will auctions look like?
– Are we looking at a future where infrastructure owners and service providers operate in an essentially independent manner, with different competitive forces? What would that mean for regulation?

 Join expert thought leaders as we explore this complicated, business-critical topic.

Who should listen?
Telecoms strategy professionals; researchers; commercial leaders; Telecoms policy and regulation experts; business, financial and telecoms analysts; business and partnership strategy experts in government, NGOs, telecoms, Tech/IT, IoT, digital businesses and more.
