Greek Minister Kyriakos Pierrakakis has advocated for a centralized, European-wide auction of radio frequencies, rather than individual national auctions. Addressing an annual EU budget conference, Pierrakakis argued this approach would unlock potential within Europe’s technology sector. He believes a unified system would empower European technological leaders and foster increased funding opportunities for them. Pierrakakis emphasized Europe’s strength in this technological domain and suggested a more coordinated spectrum management strategy. This centralized approach aims to stimulate innovation and competitiveness on a continental scale. The minister’s proposal focuses on maximizing the benefits from spectrum allocation for European tech firms. Ultimately, he views this as a crucial step to support the growth of the industry across the EU.
