Telecoms: Commission to cut number of regulated markets in Europe

Today the European Commission – in agreement with Member States - decided that two telecom markets should no longer be subject to regulation in Europe, and that two more should be redefined to reflect market and technology developments. The rules take effect immediately.
The two liberated markets are:
    a) the retail market for access to fixed telephony; and
    b) the wholesale market for fixed call origination.
The Commission will also redefine two broadband markets, in order to limit regulatory burdens to what is strictly necessary for competitive broadband access and investment.
The Commission is increasing its focus on the distinct needs of business users, to make sure that competitive connectivity can unleash growth across the economy.
European Commission Vice President @NeelieKroesEU says: "I am delighted to announce this cut in telecoms red tape. It is the result of increased competition in telecoms markets and it takes us a step closer to a real Connected Continent”.
