Also in today's EMEA regional roundup: MWC's public cloud cuckoo land; T-Systems helps fight COVID-19 infection; Berners-Lee senses change in the air. Vodafone and Swisscom subsidiary Fastweb are seeking a total of 1.1 billion ($1.31 billion) in damages from Telecom Italia (TIM) following a ruling by Italy's antitrust authority over alleged abuse of a dominant market position, according to a Reuters report. The regulator fined TIM 116 million ($138 million) last March for trying to obstruct its rivals in the Italian broadband market, says the report. The GSMA has confirmed that Danielle Royston a passionate public cloud evangelist and head of TelcoDR will be taking over what would have been Ericsson's booth at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona in June. In doing so TelcoDR will become the largest exhibitor at the junket, luxuriating in 6,000 square meters of prime floorspace. As was the case at last year's MWC, Ericsson was one of the first major exhibitors to pull out, with Nokia soon following suit. Royston is reportedly looking for booth-related entertainment ideas, with wild talk of tennis legend Rafa Nadal and Colombian warbler Shakira doing the rounds. Whatever is decided, this public cloud cuckoo land (well they are taking over Ericsson's vacated nest) is going to take some filling.
