Does
Europe still have the wireless lead?
Europe can pride itself on having been
at the forefront of mobile developments thanks to
GSM’s industrial success and an unequalled market
penetration rate. It has not, however, been able to
avoid the harsh blow dealt by dwindling growth under
the effect of a relative saturation of demand, whilst
the advent of the second wave carried by 3G mobiles
has proven to be more complex than expected and progress
is slow, …

Internet
& high-speed access: Is it the next growth engine
for the European ISPs & Telecom operators?
Now that we have come back to a less exuberant
view of the upheavals triggered by the Internet, what
can be said of: the disparities in penetration and usage
within Europe itself and between Europe and the world’s
most advanced countries? The profitability of both broadband
and dial-up access provision? Content’s role in
fostering widespread broadband access among consumers?
The competition and the organisation of access markets?
The influence of public policy?

1-The
success and failures of the EC’s liberalisation
process versus the US Telecom Act
Faiblesses et succès du processus de libéralisation
européen et du Telecom Act américain
Taking relatively different paths, the
United States and the European Union adopted new regulatory
frameworks over the course of the 90s, with the aim
of increasing competition in the telecommunications
sector. The burst of the telecom bubble and the serious
difficulties which many operators have experienced have
given rise to a debate on both sides of the Atlantic
over the effectiveness of existing regulations governing
competition and the pursuit of innovation…

2-Is
Europe ready for the telecom rebound?
The demise of many new entrants coupled
with several incumbent operators’ need to now focus
on cutting their debt raises a number of questions over
the final outcome of this difficult phase.
To what extent is the European situation unique? What
will be the future rate of development of telecommunications
services? Can we already detect the winning strategies
and the manner in which the markets will be organised?
What consequences can be discerned for the equipment
industry?

look back at convergence strategies
Chaired by :

Médias, IDATE
• Philippe
COSTE,
Directeur du Développement International, IDATE
Digitisation
of video signals and the proliferation of distribution
platforms were the source of convergence strategies
that seek to create versions of content for several
communications services and to enable integrated control
of both the containers and the content. Where do the
expected synergies lie?

2-The
Consolidation of the European broadcasting industry
Europe's audiovisual landscape remains
considerably fragmented. The Pay-TV sector is struggling.
The launch of Digital Terrestrial Television is taking
place in a disparate fashion and has been the stage
for several failures. Is it time for a consolidation
opening the way to pan-european players ?

Which
competitive advantages for Europe?
In partnership: COMMUNICATIONS &
STRATEGIES
Round table, chaired by :
• Eric
LEBOUCHER, rédacteur, Le Monde
ICT contributed massively to the period of rapid
growth, and to the accompanying exuberance of the financial
markets. At the same time, Europe fell behind the United
States both in terms of technologies and products, and
of levels of use – with one notable exception,
however: mobile telephony. The current crisis gives
rise to a twofold question: can ICT, which are currently
at the heart of the struggle, once again become a driving
force for future growth, and will Europe be in a position
to take advantage of the renewed impetus? Several approaches
to offering a response: the particular way in which
the European economy experienced the creation and subsequent
burst of the TMT bubble, European ICT companies’
assets, the conditions required for a rebound (financial
support, R&D policies, regulatory framework, e-governance…).
