Switzerland pushes ahead with major telecom law reform
2016-09-26 10:01:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) Switzerland's Federal Council has approved plans for a major reform of the Telecommunications Act, including measures such as imposing net neutrality and forcing dominant operators to open up fibre networks to competition. Following a public consultation that received 151 responses, the Council said it asked the federal communications department to develop the new legislation by September 2016. Proposals include increased consumer protection in areas like unsolicited marketing and measures to block online child pornography. In addition, Switzerland plans to develop its own net neutrality principles, further lower roaming charges and introduce the power to require dominant operators to open their networks to other providers. At the same time, the government wants to reduce the administrative burden for telecom providers, relax the rules on spectrum usage and improve access to buildings for network infrastructure.

France and Germany urge reform to access encrypted messages
2016-08-24 10:06:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve met with his German counterpart, Thomas de Maiziere, on 23 August to discuss anti-terrorism proposals. Following the meeting, Cazeneuve told the press in Paris that France and Germany will put forward a European initiative to tackle the problem of messaging encryption used by Islamist extremists, to be discussed at the EU summit taking place on 16 September. In particular, Cazeneuve said that messaging service operators such as Telegram, which has so far been reluctant to cooperate with the authorities, should be compelled to provide access to encrypted content to terrorism investigations. The French minister urged the European Commission to pass new legislation targeting encrypted messaging services provided by both EU and non-EU companies, creating the right legal framework to strengthen national security.
