Under Article 75 of the Act of 13 June 2005 on electronic communications the BIPT Council decided on 6 May 2013 to lift the universal service obligations relating to the provision of public pay phones. That decision was taken following a market analysis, which showed that those services or similar services were widely available. The draft opinion was submitted for public consultation from 26 February to 29 March 2013.
