Norway’s National Communications Authority (Nasjonal kommunikasjonsmyndighet, Nkom) has called for input on its preliminary assessments regarding its method for defining geographical markets for fixed broadband access.
As previously reported by CommsUpdate, in 2021 the regulator announced the start of work on analysing the country’s fixed broadband markets, as the basis for a possible designation of one or more providers as having significant market power (SMP). Having sought feedback on fixed broadband market definitions between November 2021 and January 2022, Nkom has now set a deadline of 27 April 2022 for submissions regarding its proposals related to the geographical market definitions. Looking ahead, it has said it aims to complete all analyses related to the fixed broadband sector by the end of H1 2023.
