Uncertainty in the world economy is causing many in global telecommunications to hold their breath, according to the editor of Total Telecom.

Policy decisions regarding tariffs coming from the White House can have enormous effects on supply chains but, as Total Telecom Editor Harry Baldock explained recently on Beyond the Cable, the dust is still settling regarding the impacts of those decisions.
Baldock said it appears folks still don’t know how thought out the White House’s trade policies are, which is causing anxiety.
“When it comes to investment for big companies, stability is important,” Baldock said. “It’s important to know what the economy is potentially going to look like in a few years time.”
Baldock also touched on some other events under Total Telecom’s event portfolio in Europe and the United Kingdom, including Connected Britain and Connected Germany.
He also touched on another event: Connected North.
According to Baldock, Connected North was started once Total Telecom realized that Connected Britain wasn’t representing the whole country.
He said the United Kingdom has experienced a “north-south divide” when it comes to connectivity, and Connected North was launched to meet the need of Britain’s northern population.
“Its always been really popular,” he said, adding that Total Telecom coordinates with local governments to produce Connected North. “It’s a great event.”
