EC says no reduction

date: June 14, 2002

European Commission legislators have rejected lobbying by operators to encourage member states to reduce 3G mobile license fees or extend license durations.

According to the business daily the Financial Times, the EC has produced a draft document which will quash any hopes that 3G concession holders may have had of winning support for their campaign from the Commission. The EC document states: "Licensing conditions should not be changed," and it goes on to say that the reduction of 3G fees would be "counter-productive" and that "extending licence duration appears to have comparatively little impact on restoring the financial institutions' confidence in the sector."
