EU Commission eyes centralised spectrum policy in telecoms market revamp

The European Commission could seek to manage radio spectrum as part of a revamp of the European telecoms market as well as broaden existing rules to include Big Tech and ensure a level playing field for telecoms operators, the EU executive said on Wednesday. The Commission said interested parties have until June 30 to provide feedback to its proposals called the Connectivity Package. The overhaul could include "a more harmonised approach to authorisation procedures of telecoms operators, a more integrated governance at Union level for spectrum and possible changes in wholesale access policy", the Commission said in a statement.
