On 7 October 2026, BEREC will present the key developments from its recent work and provide insights into future regulatory priorities.

BEREC’s 2027 Work Programme: consultation with stakeholders

During the event, BEREC will present its draft 2027 Work Programme and launch a public consultation, inviting stakeholders to provide their views and contribute to the development of BEREC’s priorities for the year ahead. The public consultation will offer stakeholders an opportunity to engage with BEREC’s planned activities and provide input on the areas of work that will guide its regulatory analysis and initiatives next year.

Europe’s connectivity and telecommunications markets in a global perspective

The public debriefing will also provide insights into BEREC’s analysis of the European Union's standing in the global telecommunications landscape. BEREC’s comparative analysis examines where the EU stands in terms of connectivity, network quality, performance and pricing compared with other jurisdictions. The analysis includes an objective overview of the key elements of the competitive context of telecommunications markets in Europe.

The analysis covers a range of areas, including the deployment of fixed and mobile high-capacity broadband networks, the supply of services, the financial performance of telecommunications operators and different regulatory approaches across markets.

For its analysis, BEREC has collected, analysed and compared data from several countries, taking into account data availability, the reliability of sources and variations between markets. The geographical scope of the analysis covers the EU, the United States, Canada, Australia, China, South Korea, Japan and the United Kingdom.

Further information on the agenda and speakers will be published in due course on the BEREC website.
