Consultation paper on the current regulatory framework

The current regulatory framework for electronic communications was adopted in 2002. Since the most recent regulatory review of 2009 markets have changed significantly, calling for a reform of the currently effective regulation. The upcoming review is expected to begin in 2016, with EU approval of the new regulatory framework likely in 2018 and its implementation in Hungary taking place in 2020. The National Media and Infocommunications Authority intends to play an active role in the preparations for the regulatory framework review at both national and international levels. In this process, it is essential to familiarise with the preliminary standpoints of stakeholders and incorporate them into decision making processes. We prepared a Consultation Paper on the forthcoming review. We are keen to receive comments by industry players and other stakeholders through 10 September 2015 via e-mail at eukeretszab_konzultacio@nmhh.hu. We trust that an industry-wide collaboration in Hungary can contribute to the creation of a new and advanced European regulatory framework.
