Following the decision on the analysis of the broadband and television broadcasting markets of 29 June 2018, BIPT examines the “Bitstream Fibre GPON” reference offer of Proximus (bitstream access on the optical fibre network).

Following the analysis of the broadband and television broadcasting markets of 29 June 2018, BIPT examines a number of changes to the “BRUO” (unbundled access) and “Bitstream xDSL” (bitstream access) reference offers of Proximus.

In the context of its 2018 analysis of the broadband and broadcasting markets, the CRC has imposed a remedy for access to (sections of) ducts of the FTTH GPON network of Proximus. The remedy concerns the (sections of) ducts when the end users are connected by such ducts from end to end.

This decision establishes the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) used in the tariff decisions taken by BIPT as of 1 October 2019.

Following the decision on the analysis of the broadband and television broadcasting markets of 29 June 2018, BIPT reviews the tariffs charged to alternative operators for services carried out by Proximus within the framework of the BRUO and Bitstream xDSL reference offers. Those include the services regarding a line activation or migration and the guarantees in terms of repair (“ISLA Repair’).

This decision waives the obligations previously imposed on Proximus on the fixed telephone access and call origination markets. These are now deregulated.

This decision notes that Proximus and several other operators still hold dominant positions in the fixed call termination market and, as a consequence, imposes on them a series of obligations to fulfil.

This decision concerns the provision of specific broadband profiles on the network of Telenet. A broadband profile is a combination of features (downstream speed, upstream speed, maximum volume download). The offer of specific profiles aims at allowing alternative operators to differentiate themselves.

This decision of the CRC concludes that Proximus, Telenet, Brutélé and Nethys have significant market power on the wholesale markets for broadband and television. Therefore, a certain number of obligations are imposed on these operators, in particular the obligation to open their networks to competing operators.

BIPT defines new guidelines specifying the principles according to which it assesses the effects of price squeeze.
