BIPT’s consumer survey

Inquiry about the users’ perception of the Belgian electronic communications market (2018)

Opinion of 25 June 2018 on the draft resolution of the Chamber of representatives of 16 July 2015 regarding the quality of postal services

On Monday 3 September 2018, BIPT will start the preliminary consultation on the new draft reference offers of Proximus for local unbundling (“BRUO offer”) and bitstream access (“Bitstream xDSL”). The latter replaces two previous offers: BROBA and WBA VDSL2. The reason for those new offers are significant changes in the existing reference offers necessitating a preliminary consultation. The changes are mainly inspired by changes in the Proximus IT systems. The term for the preliminary consultation on the reference offers is six weeks and ends on 15 October 2018. This step should enable BIPT to incorporate fundamental criticism from current and potential beneficiaries and to carry out the adaptation needed, before a formal, full consultation on these new offers is started. Respondents should kindly make sure that the object of the response contains at least the following reference “ “CONSULT-2018-C5/ 18-791”. By way of the market analysis BIPT has obliged Proximus to publish new reference offers regarding FTTH (bitstream over direct Fiber access), VULA (virtual local unbundling) and multicast, among other things. The preliminary consultation on these reference offers will be started based on the terms for publication specified in the market analysis. As a consequence the current preliminary consultation has nothing to do with that.

Action for annulment by Viasat UK against the decision on the user rights of Inmarsat Ventures Ltd for the complementary ground components

Article 126 of the Act of 13 June 2015 on electronic communications, completed by the Royal Decree of 19 September 2013 obliges certain operators to retain identification data, mainly for the benefit of judicial authorities.

In Belgium operators mainly confined themselves to passive infrastructure sharing in spite of BIPT opening the door in the 2012 guidelines. BIPT notes that, in the current situation, with the current technologies, the operators are not really asking for a change in the regulatory rules in favour of shared infrastructure use, a fortiori of spectrum, in addition to what they are already doing today with passive infrastructures. This study takes a look as to what we might expect in the future

This communication contains the draft regulation on the multiband auction as approved by the Council of Ministers.

The purpose of this decision is the approval of the CGCs (complementary ground components) envisaged by Inmarsat.
