By final decision of 15 September 2017, ANACOM has approved the methodology and assumptions to be used in the verification of obligations of additional coverage of 588 parishes potentially without mobile broadband (2100 MHz band). These obligations were imposed on NOS Comunicações (NOS), MEO - Serviços de Comunicações e Multimédia (MEO) and Vodafone Portugal - Comunicações Pessoais (VODAFONE) pursuant to the decision of 18 February 2016https://www.anacom.pt/render.jsp?contentId=1380120.
In this context, approval was given to the amendment of the annual questionnaire on coverage, quality of service and implementation of site-sharing policy. This questionnaire must be sent to ANACOM by NOS, MEO and VODAFONE from 2019; the deadlines and dates of reference for the different sets of information are detailed in the questionnaire itself.
The current annual questionnaire on coverage, quality of service and implementation of the site-sharing policy, adopted by decision of 13 November 2014https://www.anacom.pt/render.jsp?contentId=1320632, remains in force until 20 January 2018.
In addition, approval was given to the ad-hoc questionnaire to be used by NOS, MEO and VODAFONE to report information on the extent of coverage provided in the 2100 MHz band until the rights of use of frequencies come up for renewal (4 June 2018, 21 April 2018 and 5 May 2018, respectively), at which time additional coverage obligations enter into force.
Finally, approval was given to the report on the prior hearing to which the draft decision of 9 March 2017https://www.anacom.pt/render.jsp?contentId=1407656 was submitted.
