BIPT publishes for the third time a benchmark study of the prices for telecom products in Belgium and our neighbouring countries (the Netherlands, France, Germany and the United Kingdom). That study shows average results for Belgium. Below you will find a survey of the main results from the study.

BIPT (the regulator for the electronic communications sector in Belgium) adopted a decision laying down certain tariffs that Belgacom may invoice to operators wishing to provide Internet and television services through Belgacom's network.

In its observatory, BIPT publishes the economic key figures of the postal sector for 2013. They reveal a surprising trend: in spite of a decrease of the volumes and revenue in 2013, investments in the postal sector have increased. Bpost has raised the letter post tariffs by 2.6% and has consolidated its market share in the competitive parcel and express mail segment.

Like all radio transmitting stations that apply for a licence to BIPT, amateur radio stations receive, along with their licence, a call sign to identify themselves on the waves. This call sign takes the form “ON” followed by a digit and two or three letters. For special events, the recognised radio amateur associations can ask, for all the Belgian radio amateurs, a licence to use a prefix other than ON. This prefix must be chosen among those assigned to Belgium, i.e. between ON and OT. To commemorate the hundredth anniversary of the 1st World War, the UBA (Belgian Amateur Radio Society) asks that all radio amateurs can use the OP prefix (P for Poppies) during the month of November, from 2014 to 2018. The duration of this licence is limited in time so that special prefixes stay attractive.

BIPT launched an inspection campaign among a number of telecom operators regarding compliance with important consumer protection rules in the general terms and conditions of sale and other contractual documents.
