The Spanish regulator CMT has launched a consultation into the future regulation of the fibre-optic market in the country.
In it, it is seeking industry views on the regulation, which will be implemented on next generation networks (NGNs) in 2014-16.
Stakeholders have been given until September 18 to answer questions raised in the document.
These relate to – amongst others – access obligations; the possible revision of the 30 Mbps wholesale access provided by Telefónica; and the possibility of differentiating between residential and business markets.
The CMT says that the market has considerably changed since 2009, with deployment of NGNs having accelerated and there being (as of this May) over 13 million accesses installed, of which over 10% (1.33 million) were active.
Investment has also been boosted following agreements between Telefónica and Jazztel on the one hand and Orange and Vodafone on the other.
