Panel discussion

A panel of industry experts examines the growing focus on telecom sovereignty, exploring how geopolitical tensions, regulatory pressures, and the US Cloud Act are driving new requirements for data residency and network control. The discussion reveals the complexity of defining sovereignty across different domains – from cloud infrastructure to network equipment provenance – and examines the commercial opportunities for operators to differentiate themselves with sovereign services. Key challenges include the lack of clear definitions, varying customer requirements across sectors, and the trade-offs between sovereignty and access to advanced global services.
