Telecom Best Practice: Reforms and Case Law in 2022

It will impose new obligations and responsibilities on site providers and intends to give greater certainty to telecom operators to speed up the roll out of 5G. What are the details, how does it reset site provider and operator relationships and what do consultants working for one side or the other need to know?
