Panel discussion - Are we seeing an acceleration in open access adoption?

25 Feb 2025
The separation of network and services has clear advantages, from reducing the costs for service providers by distributing the cost of infrastructure to promoting increased network utilisation. In Europe, it is well established, but the US has been slower in adoption. Find out: Why has the US been slower in adopting the open access model, and what is currently driving its adoption? Will recent investments, like the recent Tilman Fiber announcement in Florida, demonstrate the value of the model and lead to wider adoption? What lessons can we learn from earlier open-access models in the US and beyond?
