\"The European regulatory framework is totally outdated,\" Telefonica<\/a> Chairman and CEO Jose-Maria Alvarez-Pallete told the opening keynote session of the industry<\/a>'s top gathering.
\"Regulation today is based on the networks of the previous century.\"
Deutsche Telekom<\/a> CEO Tim Hoettges said Europe was falling apart with 27 different sets of regulation while messaging services like Facebook's WhatsApp were free-riding on telecoms network infrastructure.
\"We need to wake up,\" said Hoettges. This year's Mobile World Congress is being held in Barcelona as a hybrid event after it was cancelled last year over the coronavirus pandemic<\/a>.
