Pau Castells, head of Economic Analysis at GSMA Intelligence, joined the #M360LATAM CLTD Panel - Exit the Offside, where he discussed the current state of regulation and its effects on the industry:
#M360LATAM | Panel CLTD - Salir del offside Pau Castells, jefe de Análisis Económico de GSMA Intelligence se centró en la crítica a la regulación actual y sus efectos negativos: 🔹 Existe evidencia de un impacto negativo sobre la capacidad de los operadores de generar nuevos negocios. 🔹 Las regulaciones han resultado en márgenes entre 1 y 23% menores y menor inversión en red. 🔹 A su juicio, estas regulaciones han quedado "desfasadas" debido al profundo cambio en el marco de Internet. #GSMA #5G #Telecomunicaciones #DigitalLatam #Mexico #CLTD26
