Digitaal ambitieniveau Nederland moet omhoog Nederland is koploper inzake connectiviteit, maar als de overheid geen maatregelen neemt om rechtszekerheid te cre ren voor lange termijn investeringen in digitale infrastructuur dan lopen we het risico achter te raken, dat zei Jeroen Hoencamp tijdens een door VodafoneZiggo georganiseerd digitaliseringsdebat met politici en captains of industry. De CEO van VodafoneZiggo sprak zijn bezorgdheid uit over de over de teneur bij de overheid en bij toezichthouder ACM om vaste netwerken strenger te reguleren. Hoencamp roept de regering op een eenduidige visie te ontwikkelen om digitalisering actief en consistent te ondersteunen.
Juist vanwege de concurrentie tussen landelijk dekkende infrastructuren en de druk vanuit mobiele spelers, behoren de Nederlandse netwerken tot de beste ter wereld. Meer dan 90% van de Nederlandse huishoudens heeft toegang tot een internet verbinding van meer dan 100 Mbps. Dit is uniek in Europa. De voorsprong die Nederland heeft gegenereerd is mede te danken aan private investeringen in de Nederlandse infrastructuur. VodafoneZiggo investeert in de volgende generatie kabelnetwerken die Gigabit snelheden binnen bereik zullen brengen op nationaal niveau. Daarmee wordt kabel een belangrijke facilitator van innovatie zoals Internet of Things en Smart Cities.
Maak 3,5 GHz volledig vrij
Hoencamp spreekt verder zijn bezorgdheid uit over de komende frequentieveilig. Er zijn volgens hem een aantal randvoorwaarden die aangepast moeten worden. Zo moet de 3,5GHz band die nu exclusief gebruikt wordt door defensie en de geheime diensten- volledig beschikbaar komen voor 5G. Hoencamp is ook van mening dat de looptijd van de vergunningen langer moet worden, zodat marktpartijen de bijbehorende investeringen kunnen doen. De veiling moet als doel hebben beschikbaarheid van 5G te versnellen voor heel Nederland. We moeten voorkomen dat marktpartijen zich gedwongen zien vooral in drukbevolkte en stedelijke gebieden te investeren.
Ambitieniveau Nederland moet omhoog
Digitalisering krijgt een steeds grotere invloed op ons leven. Om in de exponenti le groei van data te kunnen voorzien, zijn gigantische netwerkinvesteringen nodig voor netwerkcapaciteit met gigabit-bandbreedte. Als wij willen dat Nederland voorop blijft lopen en op wereldniveau digitaal meespeelt, dan moet het ambitieniveau omhoog, benadrukt Hoencamp. Het is noodzakelijk dat de marktpartijen en de overheid hierin samenwerken. Volgens de CEO van VodafoneZiggo begint dit met het neerzetten van een duidelijke ambitie. Gevolgd door het vaststellen van de randvoorwaarden die nodig zijn om innovatie te bevorderen. Een nationale digitalisering-top onder leiding van minister-president Rutte kan hieraan een bijdrage leveren.
