42World2000 Cable operations statusFor the purpose of enabling cable networks tocompete with incumbent telecommunicationsoperators wireline networks and of generating morecompetition within the cable market itself, theEuropean Commission sought to limit incumbentoperators control over the better part of the Union'scable networks. After giving up the idea of forcingthese operators to sell off their networks, theEuropean Commission adopted a Directive in June1999 requiring that telecommunications operatorsbreak up their cable distribution activities within theEuropean Union into independent structures. Thisfollows an earlier Directive in December 1997 whichunderlined the Commissions opinion that the jointownership of cable networks (audiovisual) andtelecommunications infrastructures is a hindranceto the development of competition and innovationand to exploiting the possibilities of convergencebetween telecommunications, media andinformation technologies to the full.This Directive had no effect on the Union's majorincumbents since the majority of them had alreadybegun putting up for sale all or part of their cablenetworks at the start of the same year:- Deutsche Telekom reorganised its cabledistribution activities into 9 regional companies,which were put up for sale during the summer of1999,- France Telecom sold some of its networks toseveral cable operators (Suez Lyonnaise, UPC,and NTL).This Directive does however directly concernTelefónica because the company possesses one ofthe two franchises for setting up cable networks ineach of the chosen areas.
