ECTA welcomes Colt as member
Published by Colt Technology Services on February 6, 2017
Colt Technology Services which provides world class high bandwidth connectivity services to global businesses of all sizes across Europe, Asia and North America has become a full members of ECTA.
“With Colt joining, this is an opportunity for ECTA to further strengthen its focus on the business market and highlight the needs of operators serving increasingly demanding enterprises as being distinct from those serving mass-markets,” indicated Gijs Phoelich, Chairman of ECTA. “Colt can help us drive the regulatory approach for business markets serving global enterprises that are increasingly expecting deep local attention. As the telecoms market continues its journey into high bandwidth territory, this membership will strengthen our call for the harmonisation of technical specificities and also required inputs for international business providers.”
The common theme for both new and existing members of ECTA is to stand behind competition as the best driver of efficient investments and the greatest enabler of innovation, choice and benefits for citizens and businesses (as well as for the European economy as a whole). This is the key message ECTA and its members will promote in the discussions about the new European Electronic Communications Code.
