AmCham EU therefore, believes that every citizen and every company across Europe should be able to reap the benefits of the higher quality and higher speed wireless broadband that the new spectrum in the lower 6GHz would bring. Releasing the lower 6GHz band will also contribute to the digitalisation of Europe. With Wi-Fi 6E, Wi-Fi will be able to support many of the so-called 5G use cases and still provide a cost-effective indoor wireless access technology and capacity offload for mobile networks.

The role of Wi-Fi in critical times
The role of Wi-Fi has become even more critical in recent times. During the global COVID-19 health crisis, Wi-Fi has enabled families, enterprises, hospitals and schools, to keep connected with each other and as much as possible to continue everyday life. The trend towards wireless is only going to continue and be further accelerated from what was already predicted prior to COVID-19.

Making web scraping rules work for AI
The European Data Protection Board’s draft guidelines on web scraping for generative AI are an opportunity to provide greater legal certainty and support Europe’s AI competitiveness. However, some proposed requirements risk creating disproportionate burdens for AI developers.
A pragmatic, risk-based approach is needed to ensure the rules reflect the technical realities of AI development. This includes proportionate transparency obligations, recognition of the need for diverse training datasets and greater alignment with the AI Act and Digital Omnibus. Clear, harmonised rules are essential to protect personal data while enabling innovation.

Making CADA’s sovereignty framework work for Europe
The success of the Cloud and AI Development Act (CADA) will depend on whether its sovereignty framework strengthens Europe’s resilience and competitiveness without restricting access to the technologies, providers and operating models needed to support the bloc’s digital transformation. As currently envisaged, several elements of CADA introduce origin-based restrictions that are not necessarily linked to genuine sovereignty, security or resilience risks. These measures could reduce competition, increase costs and slow cloud and AI adoption – ultimately working against CADA’s underlying objectives.
A sovereignty framework built on objective, risk-based criteria will better support Europe’s competitiveness, resilience and digital transformation than one based on origin, ownership or nationality.
