Press Release: Telecoms – Commission suspends Austrian regulator’s proposal on broadband wholesale pricing

The European Commission has suspended a proposal from the Austrian telecoms regulator (TKK) for calculating regulated fees which the dominant operator, Telekom Austria, can charge other operators to use its broadband infrastructure. The Commission is concerned that TKK's approach may not be compatible with EU telecoms rules as it threatens to impede efficient investment in broadband, and could also create artificial barriers in the internal market.
