2 Programme Conference Co-Chairs Marc Reysen RCAA, Frankfurt; Co-Chair, IBA Antitrust Committee Anne Vallery WilmerHale, Brussels; Co-Chair, IBA Communications Law Committee Host Committee Ashurst BonelliErede Dalla Vedova Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer Gianni Origoni Grippo Cappelli & Partners Nctm Monday 11 June Registration Welcome coffee/ tea Opening remarks by Conference Co-Chairs Keynote address Barry Nigro Deputy Assistant Attorney General, US Department of Justice, Washington DC Antitrust and regulatory joint roundtable This panel brings together representatives from key antitrust agencies and communications regulators who will examine hot issues at the intersection of competition and communications law, including recent developments and changes on the horizon. Moderators Marc Reysen RCAA, Frankfurt; Co-Chair, IBA Antitrust Committee Anne Vallery WilmerHale, Brussels; Co-Chair, IBA Communications Law Committee Speakers Martin Ballantyne Legal Director, Ofcom, London Alejandra de Iturriaga Gandini Director for Telecommunications and Audio-visual Sector, CNMC, Barcelona Barry Nigro Deputy Assistant Attorney General, US Department of Justice, Washington DC Andrea Pezzoli Director General for Competition, Italian Competition Authority, Rome Rita Wezenbeek Head of Unit, DG COMP, Brussels Coffee/tea break Sharing the infrastructure and spectrum in fixed and mobile networks an alternative to consolidation? Mobile mergers, cooperative agreements and investment in the mobile telecoms sector Besides the recent wave of mergers, network operators are also increasingly sharing the infrastructure both in fixed (co-investment) and in mobile (radio access network sharing, spectrum sharing or national roaming), as a means to facilitate investments and innovation. In the merger context, infrastructure sharing has been considered as the alternative to concentration. However, network sharing also raises antitrust questions regarding the potential negative effects of such cooperation on competition. Various regulators have assessed network sharing practices and published (or will be publishing) guidelines on this topic. The panel will discuss how infrastructure sharing is developing and how it should be assessed from regulatory and competition law viewpoints, as well as the status of ongoing antitrust investigations at European and national levels. Moderators Laurent De Muyter Jones Day, Brussels; Conference Coordinator, IBA Communications Law Committee Samantha Mobley Baker McKenzie, London; Vice Chair, IBA Antitrust Committee Speakers Grania Holzwarth Legal Counsel, Deutsche Telekom, Brussels Matt Hunt Managing Director, AlixPartners, London Professor Marc Ivaldi Research Director, EHESS, Toulouse Zoltan Marosi Oppenheim Law Firm, Budapest Blaise Soury-Lavergne Head of Mobile Spectrum, ARCEP, Paris Lunch Headline social event sponsor Associate conference sponsor

3 Monday continued IoT and the commercial and legal challenges facing the 5G roll out 5G connectivity and Internet of Things (IoT) are technological developments, which, by progressing in parallel, are going to dramatically change everyday life and business in the next years. 5G connectivity will bring more capacity, lower latency, more mobility and increased reliability, thus enabling plenty of devices to be connected simultaneously with an incredible variety of services and functions. IoT applications and services will reshape the relationships between users and manufacturers; citizens and public services; consumers and markets; and more. To get to that point various issues need to be analysed and arranged in order to achieve success in areas such as incentivising network investments, improving network sharing arrangements and considering new access models. These include: joint ventures; open access and whole-sale only; setting adequate spectrum allocation; taking into account market demand; efficiency needs and competition principles; coordinating new 5G investments cycle with current business plans on 4G; creating the conditions for the European IoT system to be open; innovative and competitive; finding a fair balance for sharing value and revenues among the operators; and integrators and application providers in the IoT world. This session will explore in further detail the challenges ahead of 5G deployment, as well as IoT development. Moderators Munesh Mahtani Senior Competition Counsel, Google, London; Social Media and Website Officer, IBA Antitrust Committee Jana Pattynová Pierstone, Prague; Newsletter Officer, IBA Communications Law Committee Speakers Inno Genna Vice President, MVNO Europe, Brussels Patricia Helanow General Counsel, Stokab, Stockholm Diane Mullenex Pinsent Mason, London Philippe Vogeleer Head of Advisory, Vodafone, London Irina von Wiese Antitrust Director, GSM Association, London Coffee/tea break Virtual competition: legal and regulatory challenges raised by the digital economy (algorithms, blockchain, quantum computing) Data analytics, artificial intelligence, algorithms and blockchain are recent technological changes that are transforming our society and economy.

4 Tuesday 12 June Registration Welcome coffee/tea Keynote address Jacques Steenbergen President, Belgian Competition Authority, Brussels Tech players: antitrust, regulation or other legislation? Tech players like Amazon, Google and Facebook are omnipresent, with their services, such as e-commerce, search services and social platforms, used throughout the world. Although not all agree, many legislators argue that, given the market positions of these and other tech companies, a greater degree of regulation should be imposed. This raises the question of whether antitrust, with its focus on the question of whether consumers are worse off, is the appropriate regulatory tool. If further legislation is in fact desirable, this may be required in other areas, for example, in broader areas of communications law, such as telecommunications and media, and also for example in the area of intellectual property, to address issues that have raised concerns. Moderators Angela Flannery Holding Redlich, Sydney; Asia Pacific Regional Forum Liaison Officer, IBA Communications Law Committee Thomas Janssens Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer, Brussels; Senior Vice Chair, IBA Antitrust Committee Speakers Professor Serge Gijrath Professor, IT and Telecommunications, University of Leiden, Lieden Sandro Gleave Reporting Officer, Bundeskartellamt, Bonn Tim Lamb Competition Counsel, Facebook, London Gabriella Muscolo Commissioner, Italian Competition Authority, Rome Mergers in the media sector: vertical and convergence mergers The media sector is undergoing significant change, partly due to M&A activity. Recent and potential deals often involve firms that are vertically aligned or in adjacent service areas. This panel will discuss the analysis applied by both competition authorities and regulators. Moderators Ilene Gotts Wachtell Lipton Rosen & Katz, New York; North American Regional Representative, IBA Antitrust Committee Vittorio Noseda Nctm, Milan; Secretary, IBA Communications Law Committee Speakers Andrea Appella Deputy General Counsel Europe & Asia, 21st Century Fox, London Cristina Caffarra Head of Competition Europe, Charles River Associates, Brussels Yaron Dori Covington & Burling, Washington DC Jeffrey A Eisenach Managing Director and Co-Chair, Communications, Media and Internet Practice, NERA Economic Consulting, Washington DC Frank Röhling Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer, Berlin Closing remarks 1245 Lunch The IBA, its officers and staff accept no responsibility for any views expressed, presentations or materials produced by delegates or speakers at the Conference Coffee/tea break Continuing Professional Development/Continuing Legal Education *The number of CPD/CLE hours available may vary depending on the rules applied by the members bar association/law society on time recording criteria.
