The European Commission has launched a public consultation on what is the best approach to ensure that basic telecoms services are available to all EU citizens.
The consultation aims to evaluate whether universal telecoms service obligations which guarantee access to phones and basic internet need to be updated for digital services. More particularly, it seeks to find out whether rules and definitions on universal services should be extended to cover broadband access.
On March 30, The Commission will organise a public workshop in Brussels where consumers, industry stakeholders, policy experts and other interested parties can exchange their views. The consultation runs until May 7 2010.
