Meo's CEO and 16 other leaders call for amendment of the Digital Networks and Cybersecurity laws

Seventeen European telecommunications executives, including Meo CEO Ana Figueiredo, sent a letter to European institutions calling for corrections to the Digital Networks and Cybersecurity laws, warning that equipment removal requirements could cost the sector up to 40 billion euros. The leaders argue that Europe needs 475 billion euros to achieve world-class networks and that operators contribute 5% of European GDP, investing 64 billion euros annually. The letter calls for a proportionate and risk-based approach to cybersecurity policies, rather than broad restrictions that could compromise investments in fiber, 5G and 6G.
