EC tackles fibre roll-out costs

2013-03-26 12:27:00| Telecompaper Headlines

(Telecompaper) The European Commission has proposed new rules aimed at cutting the cost of rolling out new broadband networks. The rules would involve harmonizing the procedures for civil works across the EU. In order to improve access to physical infrastructure, network operators would have the right to access, via a single information point, a set of minimum information concerning the existing infrastructure. Network operators would also be required to make available on request minimum information concerning their ongoing or planned civil works related to physical infrastructure, to facilitate other operators accessing the same sites. The EU also wants a single information point for applying electronically for permits for civil engineering works. The local authorities would be required to grant or refuse permits within six months of receiving a request, unless other deadlines apply under national or EU law. Finally, the new rules would require all newly-constructed buildings and buildings undergoing major renovation to be fitted with in-building broadband infrastructure, up to the network termination points. Every internet provider would then have the right to terminate its network at a concentration point inside or outside a building and access the in-building physical infrastructure on reasonable terms. The new rules still require approval by the European Parliament and Council. The national telecom regulators, or other local authorities depending on the member state, would have authority for implementing the rules.
