EU’s 5G competition challenge
July 2016
Free flash research note

DFMonitor’s latest, July 2016, sampling of 4G smartphone internet access data caps in the European Union shows that a handful of big telco groups – with vested interests in fixed-line broadband – impose very restrictive mobile internet usage caps. This raises serious concerns that these telco groups – that tightly control most EU national markets – will not be incentivised to sell competitively priced 5G internet access.
