• Public consultation of the BIPT Council of 5 November 2019 on the extension of the user rights granted to Citymesh in the 3.5 GHz frequency band for the provision of electronic communications services on the Belgian territory

    Publications › Consultation -

The addition of Zaventem to the list of municipalities falling under the existing user rights limits the possibilities for another potential candidate and can therefore not be accepted without a new allocation procedure.
  • BIPT Council Decision of 29 October 2019 regarding the listing and classification of products and services provided by the universal service provider for the year 2017

    Publications › Decision -
    This decision aims at the implementation of Article 13 of the Royal Decree regarding the analytic accounting of the universal postal service provider of 25 April 2014. In this context, each year, the universal service provider has to provide BIPT with a list of his products and services as well as the classification according to their nature, into universal, public or commercial products or services. This classification is submitted to BIPT's approval. BIPT then communicates this approval to the audit commissioner (in this case, the Supervisory Board).
