Symmetrical Access Regulation and Termination Charges (Directive)

In cep's view, the symmetrical regulation of access for telecoms network operators is inappropriate. Market-power-based and geographically differentiated regulation or the strict application of competition law would be better. It is also uncertain whether this regulation does in fact favour the deployment of fast networks. EU-wide upper limits for termination charges constitute politically-controlled pricing and are in breach of the freedom to conduct a business and the right to property.
