NOTAS:

"This CERRE Telecom report analyses the current regulatory framework and the need for cooperation within and beyond the telecom sector to speed up the deployment of fixed and mobile very high capacity networks (VHCN). The swift deployment of fixed and mobile networks is a top priority for the European Commission. To achieve this, substantial network investments are needed and the COVID-19 pandemic has only increased this urgency. To accelerate investment in – and thus the deployment of – VHCN, telecom experts and authors of the report, Tony Shortall, Prof. Marc Bourreau and Winston Maxwell, recommend that EU policy makers promote network competition by facilitating competitive entry and lowering entry barriers. The report confirms that, in most cases, infrastructure sharing leads to lower costs for operators, it can encourage more investment and facilitate competitive entry. It notes though that infrastructure sharing may lower competition via coordinated effects such as information sharing or unilateral effects. In addition, lowering entry barriers by sharing passive elements seems a universally positive measure to stimulate investment. The authors flag that there are significant differences across Europe between the regimes in place for fixed versus mobile network sharing and co-investment. With differing institutional structures, operators must navigate two regulatory pathways. This report was presented and debated during a CERRE online event “Deploying very high capacity networks: competition rules and cooperation in the telecom sector“. With speakers from the Commission, industry players, regulators and academics."
