10 years of the CMS Network Sharing Study
Join us as we launch the latest update to the CMS Network Sharing Study where we will reflect on 10 years of the study and the key changes which have taken place during this time.  The fifth edition of this study looks at over 75 network shares in 46 markets since May 2021.  We have seen how policy, regulation, competition, structures and financing are evolving across jurisdictions. Many of the network sharing opportunities available have now been taken and there has been a reduction in regulatory scrutiny across Western Europe which is potentially a result of greater investment in network in­fra­struc­ture.  Dur­ing our launch webinar, we will hear from special guest speakers, Oliver Bradley from Macquarie Group, Karim Taga from Arthur D. Little and Luiz Felippe Zoghbi from from GSMA who will share insights into their roles within the digital infrastructure ecosystem.   Oliver Bradley is Global Head of Digital Infrastructure Investments at Macquarie Capital, responsible for Digital Infrastructure Investments within the Infrastructure and Energy Capital division of Macquarie Cap­it­al.  Karim Taga is the Managing Partner of Arthur D. Little Austria and Global Head of Functional Practices at ADL. He has 25+ years of experience with ADL in the tele­com­mu­nic­a­tion area, including leading the Global TIME practice for over 12 years. The discussion will be chaired by Dora Petranyi, Co-Head of the TMC group and Chris Watson, Chairman of the TMC group. We will also hear insights on anticipated developments in the Network Sharing space from Anne Chitan, Partner at CMS UK and Javier Torre de Silva, Partner at CMS Spain and Anne and Javier are also Co-Heads of the global Communications Subgroup at CMS.  We look forward to you joining us to hear the latest in Network Sharing deals and upcoming trends. There will be an opportunity to put your questions to the speakers so please do bring these to the session.
