Much has happened since the National Commission of Markets and Competition (CNMC) approved the regulation of wholesale Internet markets (Markets 3a, 3b and 4 of the European Commission’s Markets Recommendation). From here came the obligation of Telefónica to share its networks throughout Spain except in 66 cities. The blue operator has long been demanding that the review scheduled for 2019 be published.
In November 2020, a public consultation was launched by the CNMC that proposed expanding this figure to 592 municipalities. In them, Movistar’s share in the retail broadband market is less than 50% and there are at least three new generation broadband networks with a minimum coverage of 20%. In that document it was stated that the obligations of access to the civil works infrastructure or those of unbundled access to the copper pair should be maintained.
Finally, there will be 624 municipalities in which fiber will not be shared
A few days ago, the CNMC published the “Resolution by which it is agreed to notify the European Commission, the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Digital Transformation, the national regulatory authorities of other member states of the European Union and the body of European regulators of electronic communications the relative measure project to the definition and analysis of markets for local wholesale access facilitated in a fixed location and central wholesale access facilitated in a fixed location for mass market products, the designation of the operator with significant market power and the imposition of specific obligations “.
This resolution has not been given much publicity because it is not yet final. According to sources from Telefónica, everything is subject to the fact that, from Europe, approve this proposition. It seems like a mere formality, but it is the reason why it has not been published until now.
Basically, this resolution maintains the regulations proposed in the public consultation, but raises competitive cities from 592 to 624. In them, Movistar has no obligation to offer “Virtual unbundled access to Telefónica’s fiber optics (local NEBA)”, something that it must do in the rest of 7,507 municipalities.
In the absence of official publication of the list of 624 municipalities, these are the 592 proposed in November of last year:
