TIM Sparkle sale wins EU approval

TIM Sparkle sale wins EU approval
European regulators have cleared the path for Telecom Italia (TIM) to offload its global wholesale arm, Sparkle, advancing a restructuring with implications for sovereignty, subsea capacity, and wholesale competition. The European Commission has approved the acquisition of Sparkle by Italy’s Ministry of Economy and Finance (MEF) and infrastructure provider Retelit, valuing the asset at €700 million and granting joint control to the two buyers. TIM had initially targeted closing in late 2025, but now guides to completion in the first half of 2026. Brussels found the deal would not materially distort competition in the relevant wholesale markets.

European Edge Federation: DT, Orange, Telefónica, TIM, Vodafone

European Edge Federation: DT, Orange, Telefónica, TIM, Vodafone
Deutsche Telekom, Orange, Telefónica, TIM, and Vodafone unveiled a live, pan‑European edge federation at MWC 2026, marking a practical step toward an interoperable edge cloud that spans national borders. The five largest European operators demonstrated the European Edge Continuum, a federated edge capability now running in lab and pre‑production environments. The initiative provides a single entry point to deploy and manage applications across multiple operators’ edge nodes, with automated placement, security controls, and mobility‑aware continuity. The platform draws on components developed under the IPCEI‑CIS program backed by the EU’s NextGenerationEU funds, and is positioned for industrialization and commercial rollout next.

EU Telecom Giants Push for Upper 6GHz Band Allocation for 6G

FCC Begins Review of Decades-Old Spectrum Sharing Rules to Unleash the Power of Space Innovation
Twelve major European telecom providers, including Vodafone and Deutsche Telekom, have jointly urged the EU to allocate the full upper 6GHz band (6.425–7.125 GHz) for mobile use, citing the spectrum’s critical role in future 6G deployment. With the U.S. and China already advancing in this area, operators warn that delays could jeopardize Europe’s digital leadership and hinder next-generation connectivity infrastructure.
