A note from the CTN Editorial Board:
The CTN Editorial board was feeling a little down, missing out this year on the usual wild parties, skiing in Biarritz with Richard Branson, spending quality time with Sting in a sweat lodge, and so on (we know you always suspected this is how we spent your membership dollars). Even the zoom-based group therapy sessions with Gwyneth Paltrow fell a little flat. But it’s a new year and we have one of our favorite things to do at this time, namely compiling our annual list of hot topics for the communications industry. As always, we would like to add the caveat that, though Gwynn told us that a proper understanding of the universe can be achieved through karmic visualization, we are just engineers and even a properly positioned crystal cannot provide clarity on why anyone thinks 5G causes COVID. We nevertheless hope to help you face forward and forget 2020, even if only for 10 minutes. As always, we welcome your feedback.

If regulation continues to focus on price pressure, the industry will not be able to address investments for fiber and 5G deployments or new data services and European citizens will be left behind in the digital transition, he added. Álvarez-Pallete was joined in the debate by Vodafone CEO Nick Read and Qualcomm President and CEO Cristiano Amon.

Some consumer IoT devices in Singapore will bear a label indicating compliance with cybersecurity standards.
Singapore is expanding a labelling program that allows buyers to see at a glance the cybersecurity readiness of a consumer IoT device.
The program, called the Cybersecurity Labelling Scheme, was at first intended to only cover Wi-Fi routers and smart home hubs because of the ubiquity of those devices, according to the Cyber Security Agency of Singapore. The program launched last October (see:
