- Telecoms: European Commission renews calls for lower mobile termination charges in Poland
-
(23 December 2009)The European Commission has again reminded Polish telecoms regulator UKE that it should not unnecessarily prolong exceptions allowing higher mobile termination charges for certain operators. Mobile termination rates (MTRs) are tariffs that mobile operators charge each other for connecting calls to their customers on their network, and are eventually included in call prices. UKE intends to allow a new operator, CenterNet, to charge operators much more for calls to its customers than other established mobile operators. The European Commission today wrote to UKE calling on it to follow the guidelines for setting mobile termination charges adopted in May by substantially reducing the gap between CenterNet's charges and other operators'.

- Telecoms: European Commission urges Danish regulator to take stronger action on mobile termination rates
-
(23 December 2009)In a letter sent today, the European Commission has called on Danish telecoms regulator NITA to align the mobile termination rates (MTRs) of the smallest mobile operator, Barablu, with those of the other mobile companies as soon as possible. At the same time, the Commission welcomed NITA's proposal to review its cost model for calculating MTRs in the near future. The Commission stressed the need to bring NITA's cost model in line with the Commission's Recommendation on Termination Rates. MTRs are the wholesale prices which mobile operators charge other fixed and mobile operators for connecting incoming calls to subscribers located on their networks and are ultimately included in the phone prices of calls to mobile networks.

- Time up for Member States to tune TV rules to digital age
-
(21 December 2009)Two years after the adoption of modernising EU TV rules removing outdated restrictions on digital TV over the internet, video on demand and mobile TV, only three countries - Belgium, Romania and Slovakia - have officially notified the European Commission of measures putting them in place, as required under EU law. The Audiovisual Media Services Directive (AVMS Directive) rebooted EU rules on traditional TV broadcasting for the digital age. EU countries had until 19 December 2009 to turn the modernised rules for Europe's audiovisual industry into national law. The Directive creates a single market for all audiovisual media services, providing legal certainty for businesses and protection for consumers.
