The regulatory procedure regarding the creation of a specific range in the national numbering plan (NNP) for machine-to-machine (M2M) services was launched by ANACOM on 30 May 2019https://www.anacom.pt/render.jsp?contentId=1474752, in the scope of which this Authority received contributions and suggestions from the market for the preparation of a Draft Regulation.
Bearing in mind the time elapsed since the launch of this procedure, as well as the growing relevance that transmission services used for the provision of M2M services have been taking on in various sectors, namely commerce and industry, driven by the spectrum that ANACOM has been making available to the market, the value chain and the diversity of bodies involved in M2M and its expansion in the national market, ANACOM now believes that it is necessary to collect additional contributions on this matter.
This decision of the Regulatory Authority also took into consideration the regulatory options already adopted by other European countries, the adoption of Regulation No 1028/2021, of 29 Decemberhttps://www.anacom.pt/render.jsp?contentId=1714073 (Suballocation Regulation) and the recent publication of Law No 16/2022, of 16 August, which approves the (new) Electronic Communications Law.
ANACOM thus intends to obtain contributions that will provide it not only with different views, perspectives and options regarding the use of numbers for the provision of transmission services used to deliver M2M services, but also with the most up-to-date information, as appropriate and necessary for the preparation of the draft regulation, whereby ANACOM considers it relevant to address a specific set of issues related to the matter at hand.
Contributions should be submitted in Portuguese at regulamento.m2m@anacom.pt by 8 November 2022, with a reasoned indication of any elements considered confidential (in which case a version excluding such elements should be submitted).
Interested parties may, at a later stage, express their views on the draft regulation which will be submitted for public consultation, in accordance with article 10 of ANACOM’s Statutes, following publication on ANACOM's institutional websitehttps://www.anacom.pt/.
ANACOM will assess the comments and suggestions submitted by interested parties, taking them into account in the preparation of the Draft Regulation under consideration.
