Lobbying Activity

Response to Digital Networks Act

9 Jul 2025

Executive Summary Key Recommendations Use a directive, not a regulation To ensure flexibility and respect for well-functioning national systems. Promote competition through diversity of ownership Consolidation weakens resilience and drives up prices; diversity drives innovation. Reject the fair share model It undermines net neutrality and disadvantages local and municipal networks. Strengthen wholesale markets and prevent strategic overbuild Ensure fair, open access to infrastructure and empower regulators. Support objective and fair migration from copper to fibre Avoid reinforcing incumbents dominance during transition. Preserve ex ante regulation where needed Prevent abuse of market power through proactive regulatory tools. Respect national standards in wholesale product design Encourage interoperability without enforcing harmonisation. Promote open access, dark fibre, and wholesale-only models Ensure competition and efficiency by supporting open networks, standardized dark fibre wholesale products, and non-integrated infrastructure providers. Ensure long-term, predictable, and accessible support schemes Stability in public funding is key for local actors investment planning.
