John Doherty & John Whelan on ‘The New EU Telecoms Package’
About the Speech:
The wide number of proposals in the Telecoms Package are designed to coordinate action amongst regulators to create a pro-competitive single market without regulatory borders and to reinforce competition. It is intended that this will facilitate high speed internet networks for all Europeans and stimulate economic growth.
In particular, the package will provide for:
- more powers to the Commission including issuing legally binding decisions to ensure the harmonisation of regulation across Member States;
- the establishment of a new telecoms agency;
- ensuring access to optical fibre by smaller telecoms operators;
- the possibility of introducing a functional separation between services and network activities of telecoms operators;
- the introduction of the notion of universal broadband services to consumers;
- wireless services will be made EU-wide operable by harmonising radio spectrum use; and
- the Telecoms Package will provide for the switching of bandwidth from a part of the frequencies now used for broadcasting, to provide wireless broadband services in the future.
These policy objectives of the Telecoms Package are of particular interest to industry regulators, consumer groups, Irish government departments and electronic communication/telecoms operators.
About the Speakers:
Stephen Banable is a national expert with the European Commission in DG Information Society and Media with responsibility for mobile regulatory issues and implementation of the telecoms regulatory framework. Currently he is responsible for the Commission’s proposal for a regulation on international roaming charges.
John Doherty is Chairperson of the Commission for Communications Regulation.
John Whelan is a solicitor specialising in information technology and telecoms regulation at A&L Goodbody.

Has Divestiture Worked? Panel 1 – Historical perspective
The Internet Society – NY Chapter (ISOC-NY) & the Open Infrastructure Alliance (OIA) present a 25th Anniversary Assessment of the Breakup of AT&T
The goal of this conference was to outline the history of the last 25 years, discuss the current market issues, then give a view of the future of broadband and telecom in the US that has been mostly untold in the media. It is a future that leads to ubiquitous, very high speed networks based on an infrastructure that is open to all competitors — giving customers choice, lower prices and new quality products and innovative services. And widely acknowledged as critical for long term economic growth.
How does America get gigabit, open and ubiquitous, broadband telecom infrastructure?
EVENT: Has Divestiture Worked?
LOCATION: Warren Weaver Hall, NYU
DATE: Mar 6 2009
PANEL 1: Historical perspective:
* Bruce Kushnick – An overview and leading financial indicators. What happened over the last 25 years?

UK telecoms fighting back the recession
The UKs telecom market has not been unscathed by the global economic downturn, which has pushed the economy into one of the deepest recessions experienced by any European country. Overall revenues in the telecom sector increased by only 0.5% year-on-year in 2008, to about £43 billion, considerably lower than the 4% growth seen in 2007. Competition has continued to drive down the price of overall telecom services by about 6% annually, yet the real economic hardship of many consumers will significantly reduce discretionary spend until at least 2011. The consequent decline in revenue for telcos, together with the still problematic liquidity market, will dampen their ability to fund network investment during the next two years. BT has been an early casualty, having been obliged to scale back its 21CN All-IP implementation.
