Frequently Asked Questions on Digital Infrastructure, Telecoms & Semiconductors Regulations
What is the Gigabit Infrastructure Act (GIA)?
The Gigabit Infrastructure Act replaces the 2014 Broadband Cost Reduction Directive, streamlining permit-granting procedures, mandating digital single-window coordination for civil engineering works, and lowering deployment costs for very high-capacity networks (fiber and 5G).
What is the EU Roaming Regulation and what are the fair-use limits?
Regulation (EU) 2022/612 extends 'Roam Like At Home' until 2032, ensuring EU consumers use mobile services (calls, SMS, data) in other Member States at domestic prices. Fair-use policies prevent permanent roaming; operators may apply surcharges only after demonstrating sustainability concerns to national regulators. The regulation also mandates quality-of-service parity (4G/5G access while roaming) and wholesale price caps.
How does the EU approach 5G cybersecurity risk management?
The EU 5G Toolbox, endorsed by Member States, establishes coordinated risk mitigation measures including assessing risk profiles of 5G suppliers, restricting or excluding high-risk vendors from core network functions, diversifying vendor base, and strengthening national regulatory powers over telecom security. Member States implement the toolbox through national measures aligned with the EECC and NIS2.
What is the goal of the European Chips Act?
Regulation (EU) 2023/1781 aims to double the EU's share of global semiconductor production capacity to 20% by 2030 through mobilising over €43 billion in public and private investment, supporting Integrated Production Facilities and Open EU Foundries, and creating supply-chain emergency crisis mechanisms.
What cloud-switching rights does the EU Data Act grant to customers?
Regulation (EU) 2023/2854 (Data Act) mandates that cloud and edge service providers remove technical, contractual, and commercial barriers to switching, phase out switching charges entirely by 2027, ensure functional equivalence during migration, and comply with open interoperability standards. Providers must also assist customers with data portability and guarantee continued data access for at least 30 days after contract termination.
What is the Data Governance Act (DGA) and how does it enable European data spaces?
Regulation (EU) 2022/868 (DGA) creates a framework for reusing certain categories of protected public-sector data (personal, commercially confidential, IP-protected), establishes a notification regime for data intermediation services ensuring neutrality, recognises 'data altruism' organisations collecting data for general-interest purposes, and creates the European Data Innovation Board to advise on cross-sectoral data spaces.
