The European Commission (EC) has confirmed that it will examine in more detail whether Finnish Comms Regulatory Authority (FICORA), the Finnish telecoms regulator, should allow regional telcos to provide access to their broadband networks to alternative operators without proper pricing regulation. In announcing its plans, the EC noted that it had doubts that ‘FICORA’s decision not to impose cost-oriented prices for access to fibre networks of dominant operators in Finland contravenes EU telecoms rules’. The Finnish watchdog’s plans, the EC has claimed, could negatively affect competition in the country’s broadband sector, while also hampering the future development of both fibre and copper infrastructure
