SUMMARY:Infrastructure sharing\, wholesale-only and TowerCos: new models 
 for accelerating 5G and FTTH deployments
DESCRIPTION:In order to deploy FTTH and 5G quickly and in a cost-effectiv
 e manner\, operators increasingly rely on new business model\, such as s
 haring access and infrastructure\, co-investments &amp\; co-location mod
 els\, involving PE funds\, separating network and services (wholesale-on
 ly)\, or creating TowerCos or FiberCos. In some cases\, these models als
 o involve public entities or make use of public resources (such as capit
 al contribution\, access to dark fiber\, access to public premises\, EU 
 funds\, etc.). While these new models may bring environmental and other 
 benefits\, they also impact how regulation &amp\; competition is to be a
 pplied in the telecom sector\, potentially bringing regulation closer to
  the one applicable to other utilities such as energy and rail. These mo
 dels also require more cooperation between operators\, and may also invo
 lve state aids\, whose broadband guidelines are also currently being rev
 iewed . This panel will discuss these evolutions and their impact on the
  application of regulation\, antitrust and state aid law.\n
