Telecom Outlook 2025: A high-frequency future

Our take on why 2025 promises to be an exciting year for European telecoms

Executive summary

While some firms still need to lift fibre take-up rates, we expect a higher frequency year ahead of faster 5G services, a steady fibre rollout and fresh opportunities provided by AI and M&A. We don't, however, expect cross-border M&A as advocated for in the Draghi report. The industry should also focus on improving its 5G services while working on a large, longer-term upgrade for 6G.
