Vodafone urges EU to update open internet rules to allow separate enterprise-grade connectivity services
  • Vodafone urged the EU to modernize open internet rules, arguing current regulation no longer fits networks supporting guaranteed-performance enterprise services.
  • Called for consumer internet access to remain open, banning blocking, throttling, or unfair prioritization of public internet traffic.
  • Pressed to carve out separate B2B services from open internet restrictions when distinct from consumer access, with transparency to regulators.
  • Flagged a €475 billion mobile investment need over the next decade versus about €270 billion forecast, implying a gap above €200 billion.
  • Warned regulatory uncertainty is slowing 5G standalone and network slicing deployment; cited 63% European coverage by Q3 2025.
