Press Release: EU telecom markets: investments and innovation up, outlook positive

The European Commission on 20 February 2006 published the 11th Report on European Electronic Communications Regulation and Markets. The main findings of the report were that telecoms operators in Europe were investing in new technologies to cut costs and seize new opportunities opened up by the convergence of communication networks, media content and devices. Growing competition, especially in retail markets, was bringing increased consumer benefits and the outlook for innovation and investment within Member States and across borders was positive.
