Electronic communications infrastructure records - public consultation


ANACOM has approved the launch of a public consultation with the objective of making an assessment on the need and the scope of a records system in respect of electronic communications infrastructure. The consultation will have a term of 30 working days, ending 16 October 2007.

Such a system would enable the centralisation, in an integrated and structured form, of information connected to electronic communications infrastructure (including geographic location), held and potentially usable by the various operators in Portugal.

Recognising, effectively, the important role that Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) can play in the development of electronic interaction, as a way of improving and broadening, in terms of offer and availability, services provided to all economic agents.

Without prejudice to the specific powers and responsibilities of ANACOM in respect of the compilation of information considered necessary and relevant to the exercise of its functions, the intention is to assess, with regard to the market and its various agents, the level of interest in and usefulness of the existence of a record of electronically compiled and systemised information on electronic communication networks. It is also the intention that the responses received make a contribution to the definition of the scope, format of implementation and respective management criteria of the system.

Interested parties should make their comments in writing, sending them by email to cadastro@anacom.pt, and identifying the issues raised in the consultation document.

Once the consultation procedure is concluded, the responses received will be publicly disclosed, and therefore items considered confidential should be clearly marked.
