Under a new wholesale VDSL tariff framework agreed with the National Telecommunications & Post Commission (EETT), alternative operators will be granted access to OTE’s 50Mbps high-speed infrastructure.
The decision was made in accordance with the provisions of the European Framework on the development of next-generation networks.
OTE launched commercial VDSL in February 2011 but was forced to suspend the service while the EETT developed a regulatory framework for VDSL and FFTx services.
The EETT said that the decision was an important step in ensuring conditions of healthy competition in the market for fixed broadband networks, compatible with a coordinated and orderly transition of Greece to next-generation network infrastructure for electronic communications.
