| NOTAS: | "ETNO, the Association representing Europe’s leading telecom operators, has presented today a Charles River Associates report on “Economic Replicability Testing for NGA Services”. Back in 2013, the European Commission approved a key legislative document which constitutes a first step in the path towards boosting investment in Next Generation Access services: the “Recommendation on consistent non-discrimination obligations and costing methodologies to promote competition and enhance the broadband investment environment”. Almost two years into the implementation, the Charles River Associates report proposes a consistent and proportionate approach to promoting efficient investment and safeguarding competition when applying Economic Replicability Testing, a key feature of the recommendation. The report feeds into the debate on future measures to incentivise investment in superfast broadband and provides strategic input at a time in which National Regulatory Authorities are working to implement the 2013 Recommendation." |
