L’enjeu n’est plus de « fournir de la connectivité » : c’est de bâtir des réseaux intelligents capables d’absorber le choc de données que l’IA va provoquer, c’est de rapprocher la puissance de calcul des usages⚡️
Des centaines de milliards d’investissements sont devant nous - et c’est la condition de notre souveraineté numérique 🇪🇺
Mais investir exige prévisibilité et juste rémunération des réseaux.
Si l’Europe ne saisit pas le #DNA pour créer enfin un marché intérieur cohérent, les opérateurs seront condamnés à devenir de simples dumb pipes… et l’Europe avec eux ⚠️🌐
