Greek minister proposes EU-wide spectrum initiative with €15B seed funding for 6G

Greek Digital Governance Minister Kyriakos Pierrakakis has proposed a 'European Union Spectrum' initiative, backed by initial funding of up to €15 billion, to coordinate future 6G spectrum auctions across member states. The proposal aims to create a unified European approach to spectrum allocation, potentially reducing fragmentation and enhancing competitiveness in next-generation telecom. Details on governance and member-state buy-in remain unclear, and the proposal is at an early stage.
