  2. Enabling the Economy Business communications – an engine of growth Removing national barriers to international trade Focusing on big picture, not the means to the end Focusing on today’s big issues for business users Balancing global, regional and national objectives Regulation as an enabler not a constraint Infrastructure: Investment and Competition? Fixed and Mobile convergence INTUG strategy and key priorities INTUG key relationships and activities

  3. 1: Business Communications The engine of growth – lifeblood of the economy A single EU telecoms market would add 0.6% GDP Every 10Mbps broadband generates c0.1% growth Online business is driving SME global explosion Smart devices increase mobile data exponentially Digital exclusion is a barrier to social progress Internet of Things will add Billions of connections Machine to Machine (M2M) communications

  4. 2: Barriers to Trade Current environment is a fragmented patchwork Multiple contracts add inefficiency and cost Inconsistent approaches block interoperability Incumbent dominance is a barrier to new entrants Access to local infrastructure is discriminatory Roaming charges deter on-line process investment Lack of pan-EU MVNOs fragment contracts Blocking of gateways limit private network reach

  5. 3: Focusing on the Big Picture It’s about the economy……(not the telecoms industry) ICT is only 4-5% of GDP: Business use is 35-40% GDP Fragmentation in Europe is hurting the EU economy The “Ladder of investment” forces unwise choices Productivity, job creation and growth are priorities- but not in telecoms at the expense of the rest!
