Towards a new Telecoms Framework

Reasons for Change

The EU telecoms regulatory framework played an important role in the context of the liberalisation of formerly monopolistic telecommunications markets. Since then, markets have changed dramatically, with the emergence of new players, convergence in technology and services, and radically different patterns of consumer behaviour. Today, increased choice and innovation provide citizens and businesses with a wide range of choice of services, at affordable prices. The market dynamics show a continuing trend of transformation in a fast-paced and rapidly changing environment. ETNO welcomes the drive of the European Commission to conduct a review aimed at dealing with the current policy challenges, acknowledging the more complex market structure and increased competition between different technologies and services in telecom markets. The EU should create the right conditions for European operators to maximise investments in advanced digital infrastructures, by simplifying regulation and stimulating competition between undertakings ready to invest.
