European regulators are planning to aggressively accelerate plans to create a single telecom market, releasing its plan in June 2013 instead of its original fall time table, in the hopes the plans can be put into place before the end of 2013.
The European Commission still is working on a blueprint for a single telecoms market in the EC states, a move some tier one service providers want, but which national regulators and smaller service providers might fear.
The issue is how to create one market from 27 distinct national frameworks, as well as how to harmonize investment and operating rules across the different countries. It is not clear that such a move, if successful, actually would create a single regulator across all 27 countries.
For a few tier one service providers, common rules and a single market would allow a more efficient and profitable approach to providing communications services across Europe. Many smaller providers would find they do not have scale to continue competing successfully, though.
In fact, the plan might initially entail easier competitor access to tower sites, ducts and other forms of infrastructure. The objective would be to enable some European service providers to achieve greater scale.
