The FPS Economy, assisted by the BIPT, launches a call for 5G pilot projects to encourage the creation of new initiatives.

This inquiry is part of a study on the postal aspects of e-commerce the BIPT launched in May 2022, which also examines the environmental aspects of the first and the last mile.

BIPT is in charge of: managing the radio frequency spectrum; examining requests for use of radio frequency spectrum, with the exception of requests destined for radio and television broadcasting; coordinating the radio frequencies, both on national and on international level; monitoring the use of spectrum.

ERGP press release

Concerning the period from 1 May 2021 - 30 April 2022, the BIPT described all activities it carried out in the field of net neutrality and adopted the Report contained in the Annex.

Net neutrality refers to a set of rules aiming at ensuring equal treatment of the information flow on the internet.

For the roll-out of his network, an operator is entitled to use, among other things, the façades that give out onto the public road. Prior to carrying out such works on private property, the operator has to try to obtain an ‘agreement’ with the owner in question.

Rights to install telecommunications networks; how the administrative procedure proceeds before BIPT in case of a complaint

Following the start on 1 June 2022 the main phase of the auction of the new 5G spectrum (700 MHz, 3600 MHz) and the existing 2G and 3G radio spectrum (900MHz, 1800 MHz, 2100MHz) was ended with proceeds of 1,202,192,400 euro.

The decrease in the number of fixed telephony lines continued in 2021. In its annual report on the figures of the electronic communications market, the BIPT noted a further decrease of almost 10% in the number of connections. The fixed broadband Internet traffic continues its upward trend, increasing by almost 13%, and bundles are increasingly used for this purpose. The average data consumption per fixed broadband Internet connection also increased to 239 GB per month, 19 GB more than in 2020. Major investments are being made in order to keep up with this development: the BIPT reports a record level of investments. Last year, investments in the fixed segment increased by no less than 23% to over EUR 1 billion.
