As Europe turns to consider its own approach to competition, Vodafone has opened the conversation with a new report – What can we learn from Vodafone’s merger with Three in the UK?
 
We believe Europe can draw on the lessons of the UK Competition & Markets Authority’s Final Report granting conditional approval to the merger of Vodafone and Three in the UK.
 
We set out what we believe led to the change in approach to mobile mergers in the UK. And we put forward the main lessons for any future assessment of mobile mergers in the European Union.

📣 La Vodafone România, peste jumătate dintre angajații noștri sunt femei și ne mândrim cu un echilibru sănătos între femei și bărbați în poziții de management. Este un motiv de bucurie pentru noi și am sărbătorit 1 și 8 martie cu mărțișoare dulci pentru toți colegii, iar pentru colege, și cu flori și sesiuni de wellbeing. Colega noastră și instructoarea de yoga Ecaterina Nazareanu ne-a ajutat să începem zen ziua, iar Mihaela Brăilescu, dietetician acreditat, ne-a fost alături într-o sesiune specială, în care am mai descoperit câteceva despre noi înșine.

🌻 La mulți ani cu bucurie tuturor femeilor!

Yesterday our CEO Margherita Della Valle joined the CEOs of Deutsche Telekom, Orange and Telefonica to discuss the challenges facing the continent’s digital progress.
 
Europe is falling behind on digital connectivity, as a result of lower investment per capita than in other countries due to a lack of scale.
 
The time is now for a European renaissance on digital connectivity. If we can achieve scale, we can unleash the talent we have in connectivity, architecture and innovation, and put Europe back in the fast lane.

Europe stands on the cusp of a new digital era that could drive a next wave of growth, productivity, and innovation. Yet an ongoing investment gap in Europe’s digital infrastructure threatens this future.
 
The telecoms industry is facing a dilemma where networks are being treated as a common resource. But telecoms networks are not infinite and are facing multiple challenges.
 
That’s why we’re calling for a new Framework for Responsible Use of Networks to create meaningful incentives that directly encourage more efficient use of networks. 
 
▶️ We’ve set out measures in our new report that would bring together policymakers, service providers, telcos, and end-users to tackle this conundrum.
 
▶️ Working together, we can realign the incentives that drive traffic growth and ensure a more responsible use of network infrastructure.

Together with the Universidad de Málaga, we’re working with Intel Corporation to boost #5G uplink speeds ⏫

This means more customers will be able to upload & send videos, photos & files faster.

This is all thanks to a new algorithm developed by Vodafone and Instituto Universitario de Investigación en Telecomunicación de la Universidad de Málaga ('TELMA'), which boosts 5G uplink speeds and capacity.

As a result, engineers from our Vodafone Innovation Centre in Málaga estimate that uplink speeds could potentially reach double that of existing solutions.
