British lawmakers voted to delay the U.K.'s departure from the European Union, setting up Prime Minister Theresa May for a pivotal week ahead in which she will likely aim to coerce recalcitrant elements of her Conservative Party into backing a deal they have soundly rejected twice.

Mrs. May is preparing to try one more time next week before she negotiates with the EU over an extension beyond the scheduled exit date of March 29, according to people familiar with the matter. Her hope is that lawmakers who want a pure break with...

Backstage: 5G deployment in Europe

March 21, 2019--The next wave of mobile network innovation is provoking great excitement in the industry. And indeed, there is substantial potential for improvement. However, the exact form of the technology and the appropriate policy support are still far from clear.

The next generation of mobile technology, 5G, is being developed along markedly different lines from previous generations. In the past, mobile generations were generally characterised by a core technology (or sometimes by two or more core technologies), and were designed to fulfil the requirements of a fairly small number of mobile voice and data applications. By contrast, 5G is being developed to fulfil the needs of multiple use cases.
