  8. Summary/wrap up/take aways • The proposed package will not in the short run be of significant benefit neither for the operators nor the investors or customers • Key elements are missing. The European Commission needs to take one step back and look at the major drivers for the industry: • Level playing field • Market structure • Deregulation • The best way forward now would be to focus on getting spectrum coordination and net neutrality provisions right and make the single market part of the Telecom Review in 2016 to ensure a thorough, open and transparent process.
