3G telcos asks help from EU
October 16, 2003
The hapless 3G situation in Europe has lead to top executives from the
region's biggest telecommunication companies to ask help from the European
Union, the Financial Times reported. The executives, including representatives
from Deutsche Telekom, France Telecom, BT Group, Philips and Ericsson,
held a meeting in Brussels with Erkki Liikanen, the EU's information society
commissioner.
They urged the EU to soften obligations for 3G mobile phone licenses
and encouraging the rollout of 3G and steering clear of new regulations.
Countries such as Sweden has a much more demanding 3G rollout conditions
and the executives pleaded for the EU to review license conditions since
3G delays have made the requirements in these markets unduly stringent
and unrealistic.
It is estimated that a total of 110 billion euros (£77 billion) was spent
on acquiring 3G licenses and a further 105 billion euros is needed for
rollout, of which only 12 billion has been spent.
The executives said there is need for consolidation in many European
countries which could imply exchanging assets, customers, sites and spectrum
among licensed players. These options are currently not available in many
countries in the EU.
