Today BIPT published on its website an 'Atlas' of the coverage provided by the mobile telecom operators in Belgium. The data of the telecom operators have been collected and, following verifications or "scanning" in the field, assembled in a public and free "Atlas". As of 1 January 2016 telecom operators are obliged to provide BIPT with further data that regard the quality, such as the response time of the customer services, which BIPT will also publish on its website as a "quality barometer".

Last week BIPT and the FPS Economy launched the www.surfmobiel.be website aimed at informing the consumer on the advantages of mobile Internet and on the proper, safe and controlled use thereof.

For indeed the Eurotariff does not apply outside of the EU Member States (and thus neither in certain popular holiday destinations). Therefore BIPT gives a number of tips and tricks to the travelling telecom user.

Speakers from the postal and telecom sectors explained their vision of the evolution of innovation in these sectors.
