The GSR10 consultation focuses on identifying best
practices in designing, building out and managing open access
networks and you are invited to provide contributions on the
following topics:
-
Defining open access: making sense of the
various concepts;
-
Open access to networks: what policy and
regulatory tools to enable opening up access to network
facilities (i.e., international fiber networks, “essential”
or “bottleneck” facilities, other networks) without harming
investment and innovation?
-
Open networks: how to ensure that every
citizen has access to the benefits of ubiquitous broadband
networks (i.e., through policies for universal access to
broadband, transition to New Generation Networks (NGN),
leveraging on the digital dividend)?
-
Open Internet: how to handle traffic
management over increasingly congested networks while
applying fair rules?
-
Open access to content: what role for
regulators in bringing public services online (i.e.,
e-government, e-education, e-health) and creating demand for
such services?
-
Challenges to open networks (i.e.,
cyberthreats, unforeseen aspects of the Information Society,
disputes, regulatory efficiency and consistency across
services and networks): what strategies?
