Barcelona – Europe needs its version Elon MuskOn Monday on Monday, he stated that the so -called Government Efficiency Department, CEO of Deutsche Telekom Tim Hyotsta said he had caught hold in the region to reduce the budget tape in the telecommunications industry.
Europe lags behind peers, such as the US and China when it comes to key technological innovations, such as artificial intelligence and 5G next generation, Hyots said during the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.
“What needs Europe is a dodge,” Goetts said to the audience, speaking with Margarita della Wal -Vadaphon, Christel Heideman and phone Mark Murtrat.
“We need an initiative to reduce this bureaucracy, and this administration is here because there are tens of thousands of people and administration our industry,” he added.
Last year, Trump administration announced only the launch of Doge. The initiative, headed by Bos -Millder Tesla Elon Musk, was instructed to reduce the costs of the Federal Government administration.
Doge is not really a state agency – and his leader Musk is not a elected official. Since its creation, the dog has considered the cost of reducing federal state bodies, Creating huge job cuts in the departments for the protection, education and energy.
Höttges said he calculated all Deutsche Telekom regulators, with whom, including the media, cybersecurity and privacy – and the total number came to 270.
He added that, unlike other European telecommunications, Deutsche Telekom is able to get most of his revenues in the US through its majority stocks in American Wireless Network T-Mobile.
Updated cry for consolidation
Because telecommunications firms often did in previous MWC iterations, Höttges made an updated call for Europe to cut barriers to market consolidation in the field.
“There is no reason that every market should work with three -time operators,” he said. “We must build a European single market.”
However, analysts do not consider the consolidation of the industry as a “silver bullet” for the sector. PWC global telecommunications Florian Grani said while the EU regulation has led to “fragmentation” in the region, he is not sure that he agrees with the “industrial mantra, that you need crossing the border consolidation, and everything will be fine.”
“The vertically integrated model Telco has its goal, but this is not the right lens to cause the results of both the enterprise and the normative, more public perspective,” said Green CNBC at the call last week ahead of MWC.
Höttges added that Europe should seriously consider collecting American technological giants such as Amazon. Microsoft and Netflix Fee for the use of mobile carriers networks, the initiative that was offered several times in the past.
“This is a free service we offer because there is no interconnection. And I think they should contribute a little bit to bring to the investment needs of our industry, it is good,” Hotts said.
