Mobile devices occupy an integral role in everyday life, with unprecedented innovation continuing to drive essential connectivity and productivity. The pace of evolution of the mobile ecosystem in recent years, and its vital role in modern societies, has in-turn demanded a parallel evolution in how the digital sector is regulated.
In this context, the EU and the US are currently ramping up cooperation on technology, industrial leadership, compatible standards and regulation through the newly formed Trade and Technology Council (TTC), and there is significant enthusiasm as to the positive impact closer cooperation between the EU and the US might deliver for consumers and innovation on both sides of the Atlantic.
