The European Commission has decided to further investigate the proposal by the Czech telecoms regulator (ČTÚ) to partially lift obligations on the main Czech telecoms operator Telefónica to give alternative operators access to its infrastructure, so they can also offer broadband.

8. Notes that European law on aid, as it currently stands is in some respects rigid and frequently leads in practice to legal uncertainty, hampering planned investment; calls, therefore, on the Commission to examine to what extent the rules could be simplified in order to establish a more investment-friendly framework so as to promote investment and innovation and remove obstacles to broadband roll-out particularly in those areas where they would otherwise have been unprofitable; considers that the Community Guidelines for the application of State aid rules in relation to rapid deployment of broadband networks should, in addition, serve to clarify the sett ...[+++]ing up of public broadband companies and the cooperation between municipalities and public-private partnership models; calls on the Commission and the Body of European Regulators for Electronic Communications (BEREC), in consultation with public authorities, to facilitate public-private partnerships and employ other European sources of financing, not least ERDF, EIB, and EBRD funds;

21. Notes that the next generation of mobile telephone technology can also play a significant role in opening up broadband services, particularly to remote geographical areas; considers that, in the forthcoming allocation of new spectrum, governments and telecom regulators could link the release of spectrum to enhanced coverage obligations for mobile phone operators;

In order to manage this exponential growth, a number of actions will be required by regulators and market players including increased spectrum efficiency across the board, possible further harmonised spectrum allocations for wireless broadband, and traffic offload onto other networks via multi-mode devices.

The results include new consumer rights, such as the right to switch phone operators in one working day, the establishment of a European telecoms authority, more interdependence for national telecom regulators, measures to ensure that Europeans can be connected to broadband Internet, the opening of radio spectrum for use by new wireless services, the new instrument of functional separation to boost competition and broaden consumer choice, a clear pro-competitive rule for investment in high-speed broadband networks, better rights and new guarantees for consumers, mechanisms to ...[+++] address data breaches, and so on and so forth.
