(Telecompaper) The greatest threat to Europe's telecom competitiveness in the world is a return to broadband monopolies and oligopolies, the European Competitive Telecommunications Association (Ecta) said during a meeting hosted by EU telecom regulator Berec. The regulator is is holding a series of event about its work program for 2015-2018. Ecta said that Europe is a world leader for basic broadband, but that its position is coming under threat from incumbents trying to again create monopolies for next generation access (NGA) networks, 30 Mbps and above.
