On Monday 3 September 2018, BIPT will start the preliminary consultation on the new draft reference offers of Proximus for local unbundling (“BRUO offer”) and bitstream access (“Bitstream xDSL”). The latter replaces two previous offers: BROBA and WBA VDSL2. The reason for those new offers are significant changes in the existing reference offers necessitating a preliminary consultation. The changes are mainly inspired by changes in the Proximus IT systems. The term for the preliminary consultation on the reference offers is six weeks and ends on 15 October 2018. This step should enable BIPT to incorporate fundamental criticism from current and potential beneficiaries and to carry out the adaptation needed, before a formal, full consultation on these new offers is started. Respondents should kindly make sure that the object of the response contains at least the following reference “ “CONSULT-2018-C5/ 18-791”. By way of the market analysis BIPT has obliged Proximus to publish new reference offers regarding FTTH (bitstream over direct Fiber access), VULA (virtual local unbundling) and multicast, among other things. The preliminary consultation on these reference offers will be started based on the terms for publication specified in the market analysis. As a consequence the current preliminary consultation has nothing to do with that.

Deadline: until 26 June 2018. Replies can be sent to: consultation.sg@bipt.be (regarding: "Ref. CONSULT-2018-B9"). Contact person: Monika Moens, Advisor (02 226 87 36).

Comments to this preliminary draft of a Ministerial Order can be sent electronically to consultation.sg@bipt.be, until 8. June 2018, with reference CONSULT-2018-B5.

BIPT has taken note of the publication by Proximus of a reference offer for the IP interconnection. Proximus published it on its own initiative and BIPT has not taken any position regarding the document. As a reminder, in a draft decision published on 28 December 2017, BIPT proposed to impose a general obligation on Proximus concerning the provision of fixed termination for each interconnection technology (in particular the TDM/SS7 interconnection as well as the IP interconnection). BIPT invites the sector to transmit its remarks concerning the document sent by Proximus by 16 April 2018 at the latest. This consultation is organised without prejudice to the position formulated by BIPT within the framework of the consultation regarding the analysis of the markets for fixed termination. To reap the full benefits of this consultation, BIPT asks the operators, in case of doubts concerning certain aspects, to immediately contact Proximus in order to obtain clarifications. We hereby ask you to react to Proximus’ proposition of 15 March 2018 regarding the “VoIP Interconnection Offer”. The reactions to the proposition discussed in this e-mail are expected to be: sent by e-mail to consultation.sg@bipt.be by 16 April 2018 at the latest Please make sure that the object of the response contains at least the following reference: “CONSULT-2018-A5” Please identify any confidential information clearly  Please contact your contact person at Proximus for all your technical questions regarding this proposition. Peter Vuchelen (+32 2 226 88 96) or Joke Van Osselaer (+32 2 226 89 03) will be glad to respond to your queries regarding this consultation.

BIPT worked on the harmonisation of profiles used in the context of both studies, while ensuring consistency - in relation to the reality of the Belgian residential telecommunications market - and in relation to the neighbouring countries. Given the observed development in the telecommunications market since the launch of this type of studies, we have reduced the number of standalone profiles and considerably increased the number of “packs” type profiles. In order to be fully consistent and totally transparent, we also wish to know the sector’s point of view concerning these various profiles.
