Mobile operators warn Europe may fall behind US on 6G without more spectrum

Telecoms Urge for Spectrum Allocation: Twelve major European telecom companies, including Vodafone and Deutsche Telekom, have called on regulators to allocate the upper 6GHz band for mobile services to avoid falling behind the U.S. in 6G deployment.

Concerns Over Future Competitiveness: The operators warn that delays in making this spectrum available could threaten Europe's competitiveness in future wireless technologies, as current spectrum is insufficient for existing 5G and anticipated 6G demands.
