Cyprus: Bill Lodged For Telecoms Liberalisation
Under the proposals
of a Bill lodged in the Cyprus parliament this month as part of
measures aimed at liberalising the island's telecommunications
sector and harmonising local law with that of the EU, a regulator
will be appointed for the telecoms and postal industries, The regulator will
include amongst their responsibilities the granting of new telecoms
and postal licences and the authorisation of telecommunications
networks & services. The regulator is
to be appointed for a six-year term and will determine the procedures
for granting licences for telecommunications and postal services
and the creation of telecommunication and postal networks. The Cyprus Telecommunications
Authority (CYTA) will cease to have a regulatory role since this
will now be transferred to the new regulator, who is required
to be independent of the Government, the CYTA and other telecommunications
and postal service firms. .
