FTTH INVESTORS DAY VIENNA

Vienna as gateway to Eastern Europe

7 October 2014 09:00 – 17:00 CEST

Austria Trend Hotel Savoyen, Vienna

As always, we see our event as a platform for open debate and public dialogue that should appeal to investors, policymakers, regulators and project sponsors.

www.investors.ftthcouncil.eu

The sixth FTTH Investors Day will focus on developments and opportunities in Eastern Europe.

With a newly-formed European Commission and a newly-elected European Parliament, the event will also address what these leadership changes will mean for economic policy and regulation.

We have identified two key topics for the event: Access to Capital and The Separation Debate. The first topic will discuss possible sources of capital for NGA projects while the latter will consider the attractiveness of infrastructure-centric business models versus vertically-integrated models.
