The GSMA urged European policymakers to safeguard both network security and competition in the supply of telecom gear for the deployment of 5G networks.
The industry association said that “robust competition amongst network infrastructure suppliers is essential to European operators’ ability to deliver innovative services to European citizens and businesses at competitive and affordable prices.”
By 2025, mobile operators are expected to invest between 300-500 billion euros ($340-565 billion) in the deployment of 5G networks across Europe, GSMA said.
