EC unveils telecom reforms to boost broadband access

2016-09-14 12:36:00| Telecompaper Headlines

(Telecompaper) The European Commission has presented its proposals for reforming telecom regulation, aimed at increasing access to very high-speed broadband. In addition to new regulations aimed at encouraging investment in broadband networks, the Commission presented plans for stimulating public investment in Wi-Fi services, accelerating the introduction of 5G mobile services and extending some rules to online services in order to enhance consumer protection. Presented as part of Commission president Jean-Claude Juncker's 'State of the Union' address to the European Parliament, the underlying goal of the proposals is to ensure "more and better connectivity" for citizens as well as businesses, in order to help drive economic growth in the EU. The Commission set three new goals for connectivity by 2025: access to download speeds at least 100 Mbps for all households; access to symmetric speeds of at least 1 Gbps for public institutions and enterprises relying on digital technologies; and 5G coverage for all urban areas as well as major roads and railways.

EC plans copyright reforms to support online video, press

2016-09-14 12:32:00| Telecompaper Headlines

(Telecompaper) The European Commission has presented its proposal for reforming copyright rules in the EU. In his 'State of the Union' address to parliament, EC President Jean-Claude Juncker outlined three priorities for the reform, as part of the Digital Single Market plan. This includes giving consumers the right to use their subscriptions to online video or music services in any EU country. To make that happen, broadcasters and providers need to be able to negotiate international rights with content producers. In addition, content producers such as newspapers and publishers should have a stronger position vis-a-vis online aggregators distributing their output.
