The French Competition Authority issues an opinion to the Electronic Communications Authority concerning the fixed broadband and superfast broadband wholesale markets

The Autorité de la concurrence issues an opinion to ARCEP (France's Electronic Communications and Postal Regulatory Authority), in the framework of the fifth cycle of analysis of the fixed broadband and superfast broadband wholesale markets.* The Autorité de la concurrence agrees with most of the conclusions drawn by the regulatory authority. In particular, it suggests that the obligations planned with regard to Orange as a building operator should be extended to all operators. As part of its analysis procedure relative to the fixed broadband and superfast broadband wholesale markets for the period 2017 to 2020, ARCEP asked the Autorité de la concurrence to issue an opinion. These markets have been identified by the European Commission as likely to become subject to ex ante regulation
