Public consultations on access to telecoms networks

The European Commission launched the 3rd of October two public consultations related to access for alternative operators to the fixed telephone and broadband networks of established operators.

Neelie Kroes, European Commission Vice President for the Digital Agenda said "We need regulatory consistency in all Member States to ensure a level playing field for telecoms across the whole EU, in which competition and investment can thrive. This will reassure markets that putting money into fibre networks is a safe and profitable investment."

The consultations:

-Public consultation on costing methodologies for key wholesale access prices in electronic communications

-Public consultation on the application, monitoring and enforcement of non-discrimination obligations in electronic communications

Both consultations are open until 28 November 2011.
