A SE Mediterranean Telecom hub Greece • From geographic expansion to product enrichment • The leading provider of integrated electronic communication services • Participates in 7 undersea regional & global cable systems Cyprus • 4000km fiber optic • 70%coverage • NGAplatform • 3play INTERNET – FIXED – IPTV Within 2014: • MVNO 4play
The European Telecom Puzzle “European Framework vs. Local Considerations” Different • regulatory implementations • market conditions • quality of cooper networks • altnet’sand incumbent’s behaviors and practices
Single Market Proposal Examples Views • How many is enough to achieve a win-win situation for all parties? • 2 NGAs per country enough • Virtual NGA products vs. physical access products • No one-fits-all scenario • Decision on a country level • Networks accessible to all operators • No technology discrimination • Net neutrality • Satisfied end users = satisfied network owners • Environment for future investments • Open internet
Non-discriminatory practices a pre-requisite for a healthy competition Low VDSL uptake by the Altnets High LLU share of Altnets in Greece
