The mobile industry is currently undergoing a rapid evolution with major changes at every level of the value chain. With a number of key decisions from the European and National Regulators on the horizon and spectrum tenders in the pipeline, 2010 could prove to be a crucial year for shaping the future of mobile communications in Europe.
Maintaining and growing profi tability, as well as turning mobile broadband into both a substantial new revenue stream and a strategic business opportunity, requires that operators know how to navigate this fast changing and still heavily regulated market. Subject to increasing competition from web-based service providers and other new entrants into the mobile multimedia market, industry players will have to act quickly to preserve and grow market share.
As these dynamics reshape the industry, they offer new opportunities as well as pose new challenges for companies seeking to retain or gain control over the mobile ecosystem — only those who stay ahead of the game will survive and thrive.
C5’s conference on Regulations and Competition Law in Mobile Telecommunications will offer up-to-date information on market trends and the role of the regulator in shaping tomorrow’s market. You will learn about the implementation of EU law in key jurisdictions and hear from the Commission, National Policy Makers, Regulators, Mobile Network Operators, together with the leading consultants and legal advisors about best practice in dealing with the challenges created by EU law and the transformation of the industry into the ‘multimedia’ mobile industry.

- Spotlight on Germany — hear about the auctioning of the digital dividend and other valuable frequencies for mobile communications
