Consultation organised by the BIPT Council of 7 December 2015 at the request of Minister De Croo on the draft bill amending article 127 of the Act of 13 June 2005 on electronic communications

Margin squeezes (also called "price squeezes") may occur if a vertically integrated operator sets a margin between the price of its wholesale services and the price of its retail services that is insufficient to cover the costs specific to the retail market. In 2007 BIPT adopted guidelines concerning the assessment of margin squeezes. BIPT wishes to adopt new guidelines in the light of the developments that have since occurred in this field. This consultation relates to the following documents: the new guidelines: two spreadsheets in Excel format developed to detect any margin squeezes practiced by SMP operators. The versions in question are the spreadsheets for retail services provided to private customers and small business customers based on BROBA or WBA (shared VLAN) for VDSL2. A manual is also available. Deadline: 4 February 2016Responses are to be sent to: consultation.sg@bipt.be   Ref.: consult-2015-F5Contact person: Tom Van Landeghem, Advisor (02 226 89 40)

Brussels, 5 November 2015 BIPT has collected new coverage data from the mobile telecom operators and has incorporated them into the "Atlas" on its website. These show that only 0.61% of the Belgian population does not have 4G coverage yet, from any operator. As for 3G almost all of the Belgian population is covered. The Atlas now also contains new functionalities helping the consumer to verify the coverage in a given municipality.
