Press Release: European Commission urges Estonian regulator to withdraw broadband wholesale fees proposal

The European Commission requested the Estonian telecoms regulator (ECA) to withdraw its proposal for calculating regulated fees which the dominant operator, Elion Ettevoted AS, can charge other operators to use its broadband infrastructure. The Commission's request followed a three month investigation, during which BEREC, the body of European Telecoms Regulators, expressed its support for the Commission's serious doubts. Should ECA fail to follow the Commission's recommendation, the Commission will consider any appropriate legal steps.
