Hosted by CTIL’s Malcolm Collins, the UK roundtable at the 2017 TowerXchange Meetup Europe brought the Digital Economy Bill, EE’s Emergency Services Network Rollout, MNO consolidation and the future of the country’s JV infracos and towercos to the forefront of discussions. TowerXchange examine the debate at this year’s UK market discussion group.
