S5 Ep6: Backstage: Brexit consequences for EU’s ICT policy

Bruegel senior fellow Scott Marcus welcomes former European
Regulators Group chairman Kip Meek to explore the consequences of
Brexit for ICT policy-making in Europe.


The divorce of the UK from the European Union will have
far-reaching consequences for all sectors, but what will be the
balance of continuity and disruption in the sphere of ICT
regulation?


With the terms of separation and the nature of the UK’s future
relationship with the EU yet to be finalised, there are still
many variables that could affect the final outlook. Nevertheless,
we can explore the industry’s broader regulatory inclinations, as
well as the areas that are most vulnerable to any serious
disruption. 


Reflecting on the most essential problems that Brexit will pose
to the ICT industry, Bruegel senior fellow J. Scott Marcus is
joined in conversation by Kip Meek, former chairman of the
European Regulators Group. 


For further reading, we recommend a blog post written by Scott
Marcus on the question of whether mobile roaming arrangements can
be maintained between the UK and EU post-Brexit. 


Kip Meek appeared as a panellist at an International
telecommunications Society conference in Trento, Italy in August
2018, in a session moderated by Scott Marcus.
