Commission 2nd public consultation on a revised draft Recommendation on regulated access to Next Generation Access networks
In many Member States,
providers of electronic communications services have recently announced, or are
already engaged in, the deployment of next generation access (NGA) networks for
the provision of very high-speed broadband services. The deployment of NGA
networks is a crucial component both for economic recovery and the future
competitiveness of the EU, yet poses important regulatory challenges to national
regulatory authorities (NRAs).
Following the first public consultation held in Autumn 2008, the Commission
services have amended the first draft based on the numerous contributions
received from stakeholders, input received from the European Parliament and the
Council, theoretical and empirical evidence and on recent developments in the
market.
The Commission in the
course of the Article 7 procedure has also received and assessed notifications
from NRAs relating to markets 4 and 5 of the
Commission Recommendation of 17 December 2007 on relevant markets.
Against this background,
the Commission has sought the views and contributions of all interested
parties on its new and revised draft document (click here
to download the draft Recommendation).
The public consultation
ended on 24 July 2009.
