BRUSSELS, Jan 24 (Reuters) – The European Commission
wants to cut red tape and costs to help Deutsche Telekom
, Orange, Telecom Italia and other
telecoms operators roll out fast-speed 5G, according to a
Commission document seen by Reuters.
The EU executive, which wants all Europeans to have access
to gigabit connectivity and 75% of EU companies to use cloud
infrastructure or artificial intelligence technology by 2030, is
expected to announce its proposal, called the Gigabit
Infrastructure Act, on Feb. 10.
The measure could save telecoms operators about 40 million
euros ($43.5 million) in annual administrative costs, the paper
said.
