Telekom boss Tim Hots has spoken to the MWC mobile phone fair for a huge reduction in regulation in the European Union. In Barcelona on Monday, Hots said, “What Europe needs, something like Dogi.” What is meant Government Efficiency Department (DOGE), which is responsible by Elon Musk, which reverse federal authorities in the United States.

In view of a total of 270 regulatory officers, with whom telecom has to be done in various countries, Höttges consider radical steps to be trendy. “We have media regulation, cyber security regulation, data security regulation, telecom regulation at the local level and international level. We need an initiative that cuts bureaucracy.”

Höttges are thus involved in the series of telco owners, which are largely drumming in Barcelona to reduce regulatory requirements in Brussels. While general complaints of industry about political bonds on MWC are already a classic, European telecom leaders have become very clear this year.
From experience with American assistant T-mobile, höttges know that loose regulation on account is positive. Telecom has given its most recent record year for the American subsidiary, which has about two -thirds of the operating outcome.
With low rules, European telcos can grow rapidly and be present in global competition. This is a clear message that Höttges and his colleagues spread to MWC. For example, merger control: The European Union ensures that at least three or four network operators are in competition in member states – and it slows down.
Competition policy improvement
“We need to improve competition policy,” demands höttges. “The industry must be possible to consolidate its activities. I do not talk about cross -borors, but in the markets itself. There is no reason that every market should have three to four network operators.”
“We have to create a real European internal market,” called höttges. “If we do not increase consumer prices or do not ask over-the-top players to checkout, we should be able to be on a scale. We see everywhere in the world that there are big companies, more consumers benefit from investment.”
