The report “Open Source Software in Europe’s Telecoms Industry: Capabilities, Ecosystems, and Policies for a More Sovereign and Competitive Future ” — authored by Nicholas Gates and Ola Adach — examines the role open source plays in Europe’s telecoms industry today, the structural and regulatory barriers that constrain its potential, and the policy choices that could make it a lever for a more open, horizontal, and sovereign European telecoms ecosystem. The report argues that, with the right policy choices and resources, OSS can help unlock greater digital sovereignty and competitiveness for European telecoms operators without compromising network security or stability, with its analysis being organised around three dimensions: capabilities, ecosystems, and policies.
