The European Commission is expected to present the Digital Networks Act in December.<\/h2>\n
\n

A group of 84 associations – including the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), Euroconsumers and European Digital Rights (EDRi) – reject the potential introduction of a mandatory fee to help infrastructure build-out in upcoming telecom proposals, in a joint statement published on Wednesday. <\/p>\n

The Digital Networks Act (DNA), legislation aimed at overhauling telecom rules to improve connectivity, is set to be presented by the European Commission in December. <\/p>\n

Companies say they regret that this “fair share” mechanism – where content providers would be required to pay telecom operators fees for delivering traffic – is “still being actively considered” in the ongoing discussions, as it endangers the principle of net neutrality, they claim. <\/p>\n

“Measures introducing interconnection charges would risk driving up costs, limiting choice and open access to information, undermining the affordability, quality, and diversity of digital products and services,” the letter says. <\/p>\n

The public consultation, asking <\/a>companies for feedback, ends this Friday and largely builds on a White Paper published in February of last year.<\/p>\n

It spells out the different policy options that could be included in an overhaul of the existing telecom regulation, as well as new initiatives including spectrum management and sustainability targets. <\/p>\n

The plan, heavily lobbied<\/a> by the telecom industry when former EU Tech Commissioner Thierry Breton started working on the rules, sought to charge online platforms and other network users for the build-out of telecom infrastructure. It has been watered down since. <\/p>\n

Options could include broadening the scope of today’s EU telecoms rules, which safeguard network access and competition, to “ensure a regulatory playing field” with equal rights for all companies active in the sector.<\/p>\n

Connect Europe, an association representing telecom providers, called <\/a>in a publication earlier this month for increased investment in the telecoms sector.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
