GSM Europe Membership
Impact
The role of GSM Europe will have a huge positive impact on
shareholder value through valuable contributions to the best
inter-operator and regulatory environment, and through stimulation
of wireless market development. In this respect GSM Europe
has identified key actions to drive developments related to:
Interconnection; inter/intra standard roaming; Third Generation
(3GSM) wireless standards, spectrum issues; virtual network
operators; numbering; fixed-wireless integration; M-commerce
and the European Telecoms Directives Review. GSM Europe's
role is to ensure that the voice of mobile operators on all
of these issues is heard effectively and in a timely manner
in all the relevant European forums.
Membership added value and benefits
Within GSM Europe members get the chance to input their opinions
and national experiences into the interest group of wireless
operators in Europe, one that is respected by key decision-makers.
Two to three times a year GSM Europe organises one of the
most important events in European mobile telecommunications
- its plenary meetings. The success of these meetings is based
on information sharing with colleagues and experts from other
countries. This enables mobile operators to keep abreast of
developments on a regular basis regarding top policy priorities
for the mobile industry in Europe.
In addition, GSM Europe members participate in working parties
dealing with specific areas. The aim of these sub-groups is
to monitor relevant developments on their own professional
area, share resources and establish action plans so as to
create the best possible environment for mobile operators
in Europe to deliver excellent services for consumers.
The Association acts as a focused forum where industry players
get together to develop the GSM platform to the benefit of
the members, investors, administrations and ultimately customers.
