Europe’s telecom winter: How an industry lost its edge — and what it must learn now to survive

$125.99

For decades, Europe’s telecoms were giants.

They built the networks that powered the continent’s post-industrial revolution — copper veins turning into glass arteries, connecting hundreds of millions across borders.Then, somewhere between 2007 and 2023, everything changed. Telcos stopped leading innovation. It started following. 

The world moved to apps, clouds, and platforms. And Europe’s proud telecom industry—the very infrastructure of modern life—became invisible. Profitable, yes. But unspectacular. Predictable. Drifting.

Now, as the global economy inches into a new technological era, Europe’s telecom bubble inflates again, furtively this time, on the same hype cycles that inflated and then burst both the AI and crypto booms.

The tragedy? This bubble isn’t built on irrational exuberance. It’s built on desperation.
