GSMA calls for rule changes, investment to back EU strategy

2015-05-07 08:32:00| Telecompaper Headlines

(Telecompaper) Mobile industry group the GSMA has joined operators and other lobby groups in broadly welcoming the European Commission's Digital Single Market strategy plan launched on 06 May, saying it set out the right priorities and objectives to encourage the significant digital network investment required. However, VP of GSMA Europe Afke Schaart called on the EC to urgently press ahead with the promised telecom review "ideally this year", and to take rapid action to bring about a fair and competitive EU telecom policy framework. Schaart went on to stress that investment was key to bringing about the Digital Single Market, saying the EUR 155 billion invested by mobile network operators in the previous seven years had made a material difference to Europe's economy and society. "If we are to achieve the EUR 340 billion additional GDP per year that the Commission estimates would be delivered by a full Digital Single Market, we need a step change in digital network investment. To encourage and support that investment, the regulatory framework needs to be modernised as a matter of urgency," he said.

(Telecompaper) The GSMA is launching its own procurement platform for the mobile industry. The GSMA Marketplace is an online platform that has already signed up over 1,300 participating buyers and sellers. GSMA members asked for the platform, and the industry group said it aims to make the marketplace the "premier online destination to do business in the future". The GSMA Marketplace allows sellers to establish their own personalised online storefronts and promote their products and services to a global community of active, qualified telecoms buyers. Sellers will also be able to upload their product and service catalogues and respond to instant Requests for Proposals and other more complex queries, enabling them to expand their market reach and increase visibility. The GSMA Marketplace also includes a tool called 'Research Centre' that enables buyers and sellers to analyse markets as well as potential partners and competitors. Access to the marketplace is free for buyers, while sellers will be charged an annual subscription of USD 1,500. In the first phase of the market's roll-out, buyers will be able to search, discover and make contact with sellers. Future phases of the GSMA Marketplace will be driven by buyer and seller feedback and may include formal accreditation of sellers as well as the ability to carry out transactions within the site.
