Judgement of the Market Court of 6 March 2019 declaring admissible the appeal for annulment of 21 January 2019 lodged by 3STARSNET against the BIPT Council Decision of 20 November 2018 regarding the analysis of the market for call termination on the public telephone network provided at a fixed location

This communication replaces the Communication of 15 September 2017 on minimum technical specifications recommended for DAS systems.

In this decision BIPT imposes a 300,000 euro administrative fine on Telenet as the latter did not indicate the Easy Switch ID in a straightforward manner on the invoices of his business customers having subscribed to a tariff plan for “fixed” telephony, Internet and/or television, intended for consumers, during the period from 1 July 2017 until December 2018. Customers have to give that Easy Switch ID to their new operator for the latter to arrange the customer’s entire switch in his place. BIPT found that by only referring to the customer zone to find the Easy Switch ID on the invoices involved, Telenet did not abide by Article 16, second sentence, of the Easy Switch RD and therefore complicated the Easy Switch process for the customers in question.

Proximus has established a new (limited) “Bitstream Multicast” reference offer and submitted it to BIPT following the relevant access and transparency obligation set in the CRC decision of 29 June 2018 on the analysis of the broadband and television broadcasting markets. On 14 February 2019 BIPT will be starting the preliminary consultation on that draft reference offer. The documents submitted for preliminary consultation are only the “Main Body” and “Annex 2: Technical specifications”. According to Proximus, due to the lack of a specific request, it is impossible at this stage to establish a sufficiently detailed and complete reference offer. If information should be lacking in these documents BIPT asks to contact your contact person at Proximus and to inform BIPT as well of this situation. The term for the preliminary consultation on the reference offers is 4 weeks and ends on 14 March 2019. This step should enable BIPT to receive a first reaction including possible remarks from beneficiaries and to determine whether based on the draft reference offer a formal decision about the draft with a consultation should be started. Respondents should kindly make sure that the object of the response contains at least the following reference « CONSULT-2019-B1 » and send this to consultation.sg@bipt.be.
