On the 4th of November 2013 Rewheel has submitted its contributions to the public stakeholder consultation launched by the ITRE Committee of the European Parliament on the European Commission's proposal on a telecoms regulation titled 'Connected Continent'.

The Connected Continent proposal, if passed in its current form, will turn the European telecoms markets into US/German-style protected cash-cow oligopolies of a few selected large European (and potentially US) telecoms companies. It will certainly make the pie bigger for the large telecom companies - however, at the expense of smaller Member States, European consumers, businesses, as well as the innovative cloud, video and media startups of the European Digital Single Market.
