| NOTAS: | A report for ETNO
"ETNO, the Association representing Europe’s main telecom operators, has published today a new report by Plum, the leading telecoms consultant. The report, “Fostering investment and competition in the broadband access markets of Europe”, considers how best to change the EU Telecoms Regulatory Framework. Despite telecom operators' sustained investment efforts, Plum identifies a gap in investment in high-speed broadband infrastructure and concludes that the current set of rules “has played a significant role in creating an investment challenge for Europe”. A series of policy measures could be put forward to achieve long-term consumer welfare and innovative markets however. In the report, Plum sets out a series of key principles that should shape the revised Framework, so as to stimulate investment and infrastructure-based competition in the supply of fixed broadband infrastructure." |
