2015-09-14 08:18:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) The European Commission has announced the launch of two more public consultations, one on Europeans' broadband needs and the other focusing on the review of the current telecoms framework. The EC said the consultations are part of its Digital Single Market Strategy, presented in May, and follow the decisions to put in place strong net neutrality rules and end roaming charges by June 2017. The first consultation will seek views on the review of the existing Telecoms Package dating back to 2009, since when electronic communications networks and services have undergone significant structural changes. The review intends to look at the future of spectrum management, network access regulation, universal services and telecoms governance. The second consultation on broadband speed and quality will explore Europeans' internet needs, above all what they are likely to expect from their fixed and mobile networks in products, apps and services beyond 2020, and what investors will need to deploy those future-proof connectivity networks. The two consultations are open until 07 December.
